Arania
Name of Species: Arania
Baseline Dimension: Arania females are notably larger than their males. The average height of a female Arania is 6ft while the males average at 4ft. While they are the average weight of a human, whenever they become their spider forms they do gain some mass which bring them to the average of 80 kilos for females and 65 kilos for males.
Baseline Appearance: Arania come with a variety of features, though commonly are pieces of chitin over their body. While they can look relatively human, some Arania may have multiple eyes and may have a split jaw. Women are born with a natural sharp look, a femme fatale vibe to their face shape. Men tend to lean towards cute in terms of appearance.
Culture/Origin of Species: A common tale of the origin of these spider folk is that the first of their kind challenge a Goddess in a battle of weaving. Upon losing(though some sources said she won), the girl was turned into a spider for her arrogance(in the sources that say she won she was described to have turned into a spider from the sore loser goddess). However this is merely a fairy tale told among the Arania to remind children to respect the people around them, but they keep it as "history" in order to entertain the arachnophobic and their somewhat sadistic tendencies.
The Arania are notably known for silk constructs, whether it be clothes, fabric or even buildings(Arania live in caves which allow them to make web buildings), and often fall under a matriarchy. The head Arania among the generation of siblings is decided by using web to construct something that would support the family the best, and the children decide who gets said position. Once the head Arania is decided, the previous head will mark a special tattoo on their back depicting what kind of web construct they made in order to earn their position.
Traits: List of traits for the species. These are inherent positive quirks of the species that almost all members should have as a baseline. For every 2 traits a species must also have 1 flaw.
• All Arania have a spider transformation. The extent of this transformation is varied but common transformations include just having spider arms sprouting from the back to allow climbing of walls and ceilings, a half spider form that allows them to produce web from a spinneret. Full spider transformations are only traits of head Arania or ex-head Arania.
• Arania species web is a very strong material that all Arania are capable of weaving and using for a variety of uses. This swiss army knife of a material can even be used to create homes and even act as sticky cages. Some Arania have even found a way to make the web solid like a wall and even fireproof.
Flaws: List of flaws for the species. These are inherent negative quirks of the species that almost all members should have as a baseline. For every 2 traits a species must have 1 flaw.
• Arania have sensitive eyes, being cave dwellers in origin. So often you see Arania outside of caves wearing something like sunglasses or shades(which honestly match their look).
