Arachne

The Arachne are a humanoid race with the upper body of a human woman and the lower body of a giant spider. Carnivores, arachne are physically strong and fast, and are most commonly found in the northeast regions of the world, residing within caves. Because they live one to a cave, almost every cave in the northeast sector is inhabited by an arachne.

Arachne are most noted for being able to creates a silk that is five time stronger than steel and twice as elastic as nylon. They can also produce variants of the silk, ranging from sticky, stretch, to tough to suit whatever situation is required. While most commonly used to catch and bound prey, arachne can also use their silk to form a network of threads to sense vibrations.

Physical Appearance

 * The average arachne has six eyes but the number can vary between individuals.
 * Arachne bodies are covered by a hard, though light, exoskeleton. They possess sharp claws on the ends of their fingers which are used to cut open prey.
 * While typical spiders use their pedipalp legs for eating, it is assumed, due to their position, that arachne use their pedipalps (the legs protruding from their waists) during intercourse to hold their mate in place.
 * Each arachne is born with a different pattern on their rear abdomen.

Members

 * Rachnera Arachnera

Trivia

 * This race sees human men as nothing but a means to satisfy their libidos and their appetites.
 * The arachne weave a durable cloth from their own threads, the main component of which is protein. Its beauty and rarity command a high price on the open market due to its strength, but its main purpose is to catch and prevent anyone ensnared in it from breaking free.
