1. weblings race
A webling is the name given to spiderlings in their youngest form, before
they have fully matured.
Brown, grey or black cover most of their bodies, with occasional flashes of
bright yellow, red or orange in their chitin, with eight long, multijointed
legs, the only way to distinguish a webling from a more usual large spider
are their human like faces, and their habit of walking on four hind legs set
in double pairs, with their upper body and front four legs raised to mimic
the torso and arms of a humanoid.
Though not inclined to wear clothes, some Weblings do don armor for extra
protection, or to more easily blend in with other races should they need to
go above ground. Indeed, with two legs each shoved into jackets and
trousers, weblings could pass for three‑foot tall humanoids, provided nobody
looks too closely.
Like all spiderlings, weblings usually live in underground colonies, deep
under the earth, each ruled by a matriarch or ruling queen, who controls
most of the colony's residents by the force of her will alone.
Though often associated with the dark arts, and particularly the drow elves'
fearsome spider goddess, since each colony's queen is a lore unto herself,
spiderling attitudes can vary hugely, from seeing other races as food, to
mistrusting them, to even trading with them freely, although all spiderlings
tend to share a love of quiet underground places and a desire to work on
their intricately woven, web art works in peace.
When Weblings do venture above ground, either exiled from their home
colonies, or simply leaving on missions of discovery, their speed and
versatility often make up for their brittle chitin, which makes them
vulnerable to crushing blows. Although their life underground has made them
fear light, they can use their webs to keep opponents off balance, making
them formidable opponents in battle.
