| Description | Natural born werespiders bear a striking resemblance to their animalsake in their normal form. Infected werespiders appear as they did before being infected in normal form. In spider form, they appear to be large versions of their given animal, usually a particularly carnivorous breed. In mixed form, they appear to be anthropomorphic spiders. |
| Procreation | Follows the mother between most pseudohumans. Outside classification, it varies. Can spread therianthropy through biting & contaminating blood. |
| Magic | One in a million have soul magic. One in a million have heart magic. Mind magic is possible. Body magic is very effective. Void is possible. Faith is not uncommon. |
| Special Powers | Werespiders can shift form between "human," spider, & mixed forms. Each form has advantages: "human" form blends with society, spider form has all the advantages the animal has (strength, webbing/hunting, eight legs, jumping sometimes, venom, etc), & the mixed form combines the two. Each werespider is born under a specific full moon (one of the three) that determines when they will be susceptible to lunacy. On the full moon, an uncontrolled, berserk transformation takes place, usually to the mixed form. During these periods, they savagely attack & spread their disease. During other periods, they can control the shift, except during the new moon phase of their particular moon. Werespiders have heigtened kinesthetic senses & strength & weak grasp on sanity. They are very skilled at killing & tend to be monstrous murderers, in accordance with their nature. If a wound is not made by silver, it will heal quickly. They are extremely resistant to disease & poisons. Werespiders also have the ability to control spiders, calling them with their rattling clicks. |
| Weaknesses | Silver, magic, or faith is required to kill a werespider. Light magic or faith is especially effective. |
| Culture | Wererspiders live blended into human society mostly. Upon the full moon, they either find protection or they go lunatically rampaging. They tend to be loners who stalk & kill others, serial killers & weirdoes. Werepiders blended into llom society simply reverse their primary form. They tend to be unflinching slavemasters of their brethren. Those in the wild generally lose their memories of their intelligent forms. |
