Lurking in the depths of the deep woods, or far in the twinkling swamp, the arachnia spins webs to catch her prey. The arachnia, 10 or more feet in height, resembles a spider from the waste down, and a nude female human from the waste up. The human half of this sadistic creature is often covered in markings – tattoos made from the drained blood of its victims.
Arachnia love to toy with their prey, taunting them, increasing their fear until the moment is right to strike. Arachnia will often lead them further from safety, until they have fallen into the spider queen’s nest, her sticky webbing holding them tight.
Arachnia are aggressive, choosing to attack any mortals in the area. They will typically have a nearby nest; if they can lead the mortals there, they may be trapped in the webbing; otherwise, arachnia will attempt a series of hit-and-run maneuvers, attempting to weaken their prey before going in for the kill.
