Arachne

Arachnae are those who possess the upper body of a human and the lower body of a spider. Due to this, they possess the ability to walk on walls and to produce their own webbing which is extremely strong, though rather flammable. Furthermore, they possess fangs that can deliver a mild paralytic venom. However, due to the bulk of their spider half, Arachnae are extremely poor swimmers and tend to avoid large bodies of it.
Arachnae tend to stand 6-7 feet tall and possess 6 eyes. This, coupled with the fact that they are rather uncommon, tends to attract attention. However, for the most part people have accepted them, though those still afraid of them are definitely still around.
