Homebrew Arachnid Species Details
Creatures whose bloodline dwells from the ancestry of both spiders and humans, their mutated traits often strike fear or intrigue in passersby. Arachnae have evolved to be swifter than any other arachnoid creature, their cleverness is unmatched by other spider races, highly intelligent, they often maintain social groups and clans. Arachnae heave the upper body of a human, their skin is often rougher and of a different colouration than their bipedal ancestors. Their hair is silky and fine but with incredible tensile strength; some Arachnae, whose ancestry is more spider than human, have spines, markings, and multiple eyes. Their lower half is of an arachnid; they have eight legs that protrude from their abdomen and have a functional spinneret. The species and size of an Arachnid depend upon the spider species of the Arachnid's descent. Due to their evolved nature, Arachnae are less aggressive and more social than their monstrous cousins; they have cultures, religions, and communities though they mostly keep to themselves.
Arachnid Traits
Preferring to be in isolation from other races, the Arachnae often live in small communities of other Arachnids. They are a strange blend between human and spider.Ability Score Increase
