sciencepants2 328 Share Posted May 21, 2021 The Deep Roads Cat Spider Spoiler inspiration Appearance Slightly larger that a normal cat and mostly hairless the deep roads cat spider is very similar to its four legged kin but has a few large difference. The deep road cat spider instead of having the typical four legs is instead a host to eight legs. Each equal in size to the next, and each having similar anatomy to that of a normal cat. This over abundance of extra limbs allows the creature to climb vertical walls and sometimes upside down given adequate space for footing. As well as their increased number of legs the beast also has a multitude of eyes, some just have two large ones and a few smaller useless ones to other individuals have a full four pairs, giving them excellent vision in the dark areas they inhabit. They come in a host of colours and patterns but most seem to have a dark tabby coat, perfect for blending into the rocky walls of a cave. Eye colour trends on a dark green, black or amber with the occasional light brown in some members of colonies. an example of an adult Behaviour Typically solitary hunters they seek out smaller caverns or territories to hunt in, disputes over territory can lead to individuals fighting or killing over a prized hunting grounds. Despite their solidarity nature there has been a few cases of them grouping into colonies, typical size for these groups trend between five to twenty members in larger areas with an abundance of food. Though, seeming scary creatures, they are very personable. Bonding to one or more individuals in a household. they enjoy the spoiled nature of domesticated life. Typically found curled up somewhere in dwarven homes, or the centre of attention on someone’s lap. Habitat First found in the Deep Roads of Urguan these strange beings enjoy the warm dark damp nature of the Urguani cave systems. Shying away from the bright light of the surface. It is theorised they can be found in similar cave systems throughout the land as well. Though, they have currently only been recorded being sighted within the grand kingdom. Since being domesticated they have taken off within homes all over the subterranean nation. Sadly, some individuals who have been taken to surface home deteriorated quickly in the sun, first losing their playful friendly nature and eventually their appetite. Leading to sickness and eventually death. This can be remedied by providing a suitable dark area or room for them during the day. the Deep Roads of Uguan Diet Being obligate carnivores their diet is made of of entirely animal material. Mainly small rodents, larger cave roaches, bats and any fish found in underground waterways. While in captivity they can quite easily enjoy chicken and small birds as well.

Xx_BloodStalk_xX 2123 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I like the concept on paper but I think it's really weird for spider-cats to just exist in general, there's something weird about it that just doesn't sit right with me. (maybe arachnophobia lol) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tentoa 1991 Share Posted May 21, 2021 | Memes aside though, perhaps these would be a better event creature if they were made into massive big-cats. Tunnel-prowling spider tigers makes for a better CRP event IMHO. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nug 1886 Share Posted May 21, 2021 maybe add some variants of them that are smaller that have pet potential and then others that are larger and predatory like big cats irl? it's a neat idea, just a bit jarring when they're basically just underground house cats with a goofy appearance, it feels like wasted potential for another pet creature people will randomly whip out instead of having any other uses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
