Bring Back The Spidies. (new)

LyonTheBrave · Apr 10, 2016

As some of you may remember, there was a primarily Arachnid based Mekket subrace called Arachne, or something to the effect, I haven't been able to find anyone with a 100% sure on their name. I just thought we could possible brainstorm ways on bringing back a more spider-esk based Mekket back, or even if needed, a whole other race in itself, now, this just make me by obsession with spiders talking, but spiders are pretty interesting beings, from the way the mate, or just the way they move, it just seems so interesting, which is why I'm making this post. To find ways to bring them into Aloria. Now, I don't have everything sorted out on exactly how to bring them into this world, but, that's what this post is for! Just add any ideas into the post on the sub-race and or race you would want from the spider based idea. Some of you may be saying, it says directly in the wiki that "Circci make deft use of two small sets of spider-like limbs on the sides of their abdomen" and, I suppose that could be fair, but Circci are based more off of beetles and or another crowned bug. Anyways, do as you wish.

Current Ideas

Bolivian (Bolivia is home to some of the most deadly spiders), Australian (Have you ever been to Australia?) Brazilian (Rain forests equals bugs, bugs equal spiders.)

That's so not going to work in Regalia.

Austrailian names, you'd just end up with a bunch of spiders called Davo and Shazza.

It obviously worked well enough where it was a race in the past.

...But they were removed. As much as I would love to see this race, it would have to undergo severe changes in order for it to work. So I'm with Marty on this one.

Also, I think it would look more like this sexy beast.

I believe they will be pushed to the sewers or, They will become a slave race or lower class race similar to the Tigrans.

Could just make it a semi intelligent animal like the ghorka. Have it maybe at a smaller size( maybe dwarf height) and live deep in the jungle.

Maybe they have some sort of non-lethal venom that has amazing medicinal properties which would explain how some could end up in regalia via smugglers and such

They are perhaps rather frail so as to not make them op
Use mostly webs to catch their prey and only resort to primitive weaponry if it is a must.

Incredibly skittish. Avoid people as much as possible growing violent of cornered

People do enjoy playing animals some times and this would be a rather interesting one to come across

Their primitive language may consist of various screeches for simple communication

I have always wanted a race or creature like this as spider people are one of my favorite creatures

Hell I will even write up a lore page for these creatures if you want me to give it a go. I have some ideas..

To be honest if that would work out their language would consist of random screeches, clicks and ect.

And those random noises and outbursts should effect all languages it speaks...

I really like the idea of a spider race, but I'm kinda leaning towards what Marty said. This race just wouldn't fit into regalia. Maybe make some new spiders for the fauna page instead? And was the first concept art picture yours? It's really awesome looking.

But wouldn't that still work? Much like screaming, it isn't about the words and precise meaning, but about the intent. Like a battle cry is generally meant to show superiority or strength.

I stated that would be an animal already, with physical traits resembling the top two pictures and intelligence akin to the ghorka

Make them a somewhat smart animal so they are bareable to play if people wish it.
Regardless of what I am told I actually want to have a go at writing a fauna article for this. It is very interesting xD

Spiders would be great but sadly slizzar are already a stretch x-x

Don't get me wrong, they can screech and etc on their own will.

@MonMarty - Just curious as to why it wouldn't work? Regalia doesn't need to consider them first class species, or even a sentient one. Hell, in theory they don't even need to be found in Regalia, they could be one of the species that are incredibly rare outside their homeland, like Ur and Thylan are (or were last time I read their lore lol). That way it would make it possible for them to exist in, say, player backstories, but not as active characters used by players in Regalia. Or maybe in Regalia, but with special permission due to the species being a) rare, and b) slave/unrecognized and players needing to accept that.

Everyone has to love spiders.

Be good if they were like, only in the sewers. Kind of thing guards would actively attack / kill on sight, right?

I do like that, kind of like a race not allowed on the surface.
