Ar̃achi are a race of spider like people that are bipedal with spiked limbs that stick out from their back. This is what they use for climbing, fighting and other various actions that one need. They have many small differences between eachother like the amount of back limbs may vary from Ar̃achi to Ar̃achi. ### Ar̃achi and Xectoid split The Ar̃achi come from the same long lost ancestor of the Thri-kreen and the Xectoid people. Sometime far back in the race's history a group of Thri-kreen and Xectoid started to worship the spider god lolth. This ferverant worship in the spider god took hold of their minds and bodies much like the drow and the Yuan-ti with their snake god, transforming the former people into their own race over time. Eventually they became the Ar̃achi that roam the worlds today. ### Relations between the new and old It is not uncommon for Ar̃achi to be part of civilisations that make up their former selves from long ago, many Ar̃achi still reside within Thri-kreen and Xectoid tribes and cultures. Their temperment is not the same as the other races as they do not vie for others through competition or seek a solitary lifestyle as a whole. Ar̃achi are more known to be social and careful with their actions. The actions of their past still remain as when an Ar̃achi and a Xectoid or Thri-kreen have children, the child will always be Ar̃achi due to Lolth's influence even if the Ar̃achi does not worship her. ``` ``` ### Ar̃achi worship of Lolth These days most Ar̃achi don't particularly need or have to worship Lolth as her influence has already taken hold of the race in a permenant way. Some do still worship her as a form of tradition bu this has become a minority as the eons have passed by. ## Ar̃achi Traits - Ability Score Increase.
