Pure-bred Arachne is born between two Arachne parents or a humanoid being graced/cursed with the power of a night goddess while the more commonly found “hybrid” Arachne are born between an Arachne and a non-Arachne humanoid. Arachne is powerful warriors and agile hunters, capable of operating in a wide range of terrain but a fairly narrow climate. Their domineering presence on the battlefield is enough to intimidate the hardiest of warriors, and they’re no stranger to a violent bloodbath. Arachne is the bane of unwary travelers and fledgling adventurers. Others are vain but flattering, making their names as diplomats or aristocrats. They are an ally’s greatest asset and an enemy’s worst nightmare.
Most often found in Ghédé Island, Las Almas, and the western countries.

Basic Information
Arachne are half-humanoid spider hybrids, with their lower body resembling that of a large eight-legged spider, belonging to their arachne parent, and the upper body resembling their non-Arachne parent, whether they be human, elf, dwarf, orc, or another. Arachne stands on at roughly 7 feet tall on average. Their spider’s half retains the attributes of the species of spider they belong to. Commonly found Arachne sub-species includes wolf spiders, jumping spiders, and widow spiders. Arachne are much more likely to be female at birth, giving the impression that all arachne are female when in reality male arachne are simply much rarer.
