| abstract | - Araneas, also known as werespiders, are a type of lycanthrope. In their natural form, they resemble hunched spiders with a vaguely humanoid form. It has eight legs, which end in odd claw-like appendages; of these, it typically uses four to walk on and four to wield weapons or manipulate objects, but it can use any combination of its legs for any task. Most aranea have eight eyes as well, but some have as few as four or as many as twenty. Their bodies range in color from black or dull brown to vibrant orange, green, and yellow — the latter usually (but not always) indicates an exceptionally poisonous variety. Like all lycanthropes, aranea can alter their appearance to assume humanoid or animal forms. Specifically, they can appear as an ordinary human or one of several types of spiders, depending on the individual aranea. Like most lycanthropes, aranea are cruel and predatory creatures. Whether this is an unavoidable result of their affliction or simply the path most choose to follow because of their need to feed off of other creatures is unclear. Aranea have no unifying beliefs, but those who choose to worship deities are most often drawn to Lolth, for obvious reasons. They do not typically seek out others of their kind, as doing so would only open themselves up to competition. When two aranea do meet, they typically mate (in the case of members of the opposite gender) or fight each other over territory — in both scenarios, the death of one or both participants is nearly inevitable. Araneas prefer dark, damp places, especially those that are hard for other creatures to reach. They typically make their lairs in caves or abandoned ruins where they are likely to go unnoticed. Although they are not harmed by sunlight, most aranea prefer to avoid it if possible, favoring nocturnal activity where its keen eyesight gives it an edge against most prey. The Underdark makes a perfect nesting ground for aranea, but they can also be found in mountains, deep forests, and even rocky deserts — in truth, aranea can survive nearly anywhere as long as there is a steady supply of prey. Aranea have no preference towards what they eat but will favor targets that are weaker or otherwise easier to capture if given the choice. A typical aranea is about 7 feet tall if it stands upright in its natural form, or slightly shorter in both human and spider form. They weigh around 350 pounds, but this can vary by a fair amount depending on the individual. They speak Common and sometimes one or two others languages; their voices are soft, but they pronounce words with a definitively sharp tone.
