Dappled Vutter

Misunderstood

This article is a stub. Please comment if you would like it to become a priority for expansion.

The dappled vutter, also known as a shriekspider, is native to the Black Forest in southern Serukis. They are not actually spiders, but a small mammal that has evolved eight limbs. Each limb is tipped with long grasping fingers that allow the vutter to move with unsettling ease through the dense forest canopy.
A social species, they live in family colonies of between ten and twenty, with mature male offspring breaking off to live in bachelor colonies before finding a family group. They communicate with loud shrill calls, which are sometimes mistaken for screams. Despite their appearance, they are curious creatures who often try to make friends or share food with travellers; it usually doesn't go well.
It is believed by the Koushan Mai that all vutters are the children of Isor, a dangerous half-spider man from their mythology. They have a belief in carrying applesin order to traverse the forest safely, which is probably why vutters see people as a source of food.
