Aranataurs

Aranataurs are a type of beast featuring the upper half of a human and the lower half of a spider. They're known to live in dense and wide forests like the Exoria forest and the greenery of Monteverde.

Appearance and anatomy
Aranataurs have the upper half of a human and the lower half of a spider. Their lower half uses four long legs and two front limbs that act as longer secondary arms. Outstanding features of the human upper half are their smaller three eyelets on them. The females are slightly larger than the males.

Aranataurs are divided into two classes: the weavers and the ambushers. Weaving aranataurs are hairless and are more diverse and dazzling in terms of color. Meanwhile, ambushing aranataurs grow hair and are generally brownish for camouflage.

Heightened sense of sight
All aranataurs have a heightened sense of sight so they could see from far away and at night.

Creating silk
Strictly for the weaving class, aranataurs can create silk to their own choosing. They can create fine silk threads they use for practical and recreational purposes or tough silk threads fit for web-making in the forests. They can also create sticky silk that they use to ensnare prey.

Hypersensitivity
Strictly for the ambushing class, aranataurs can sense, through their very sensitive hairs, distinct changes in its surroundings. It uses them to vaguely pinpoint where potential prey could be.

Nourishment
Aranataurs are carnivorous for most of the year. All of them eat any living prey that get stuck on their web traps from small insects to deer and birds. Aranataurs also used to eat humans and other sentient beasts for sustenance.

During the winter, aranataurs coop up in burrows sealed with silk and rest for the entire season.

Renowned silk clothing weavers
Weaving aranataurs use their silk to weave clothing both for themselves and for other beasts and humans that find their products beneficial. Aranataurs have been known to sell silk clothing to humans, particularly in eastern factions. Humans and beasts that use their silk products say that they're "perfect". Aranatuars have competition from fairies--silkmoth fairies to be precise.
