These fell creatures of darkness are an abomination to the other intelligent races. Arachnae are twisted and evil spider/human crossbreeds who revel in the terror and mayhem they are capable of inflicting. Once thought to be peaceful, these treacherous beasts have made trade pacts with local human communities, only to betray that trust at the first sign of weakness.
