Arachned are half-humanoid spider hybrids, with their lower body resembling that of a large eight-legged spider, and the upper body resembling human, elf, dwarf, orc, or another. Arachned stand 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 Arachned sub-species includes jumping spiders, wolf spiders, ground spiders, and widow spiders. Arachned are much more likely to be female at birth, giving the impression that all Arachned are female when in reality male Arachned are simply much rarer.   Ability Score Increase.
