Arachneans

Arachnean Traits

Arachneans are spider-like humanoids, and most have eight eyes. Despite having eight limbs, they must stand on two pairs and need two to hold anything. This does not even allow them to wear additional magical items, but many still insist that other races have "limb envy."

Most live in simple burrows dotting the regions they live, or in the underdark.
