[✓] [Creature Lore] Spideer

[hemomancy 2835]

Anatomy & Appearance

 

The creature most-known as the Spideer, due to its spider and deer like appearance, can be split between two subspecies, referred to as Spideer Minimus and Spideer Maximus.

 

All Spideer have the appearance of deer, most akin to the Fallow deer. All Spideer have fur colored one of the following- black, blue, purple, or grey. No matter the color, it is always dark. Along their backs are freckled spots, lighter than that of what their primary fur color is; grey on black, lavender on purple, and so-on. The females of each subspecies are slightly larger than the males, and both bear small, black, straight horns atop their heads. Both subspecies have eight hooved legs, and six sets of eyes (with the forefront two being larger). These eyes may be black or white in color; they bear a faint glow, allowing Spideer to see easier within the dark.

 

All Spideer have the capability to spin webs. The webs of the Spideer Minimus are akin to cobwebs; this is a trait that they have no use for. The webs of the Spideer Maximus are much larger, and stickier. This trait they still use for the capture of prey.

The female Spideer Minimus is larger than the male, with sizes of about 13-14 inches tall at the shoulder, 30-33 inches in length, and 25-39 pounds. Male Minimus’ are 8-12 inches tall at the shoulder, 22-28 inches in length, and 13-20 pounds. The diet of the Spideer Minimus is composed of vegetation, acorns, nuts, berries, and occasionally small rodents. Compared to the Maximus, the Spideer Minimus naturally looks more 'fawn-like' than their kin.

Akin to the Spideer Minimus, Spideer Maximus are the larger of the two subspecies. Female Maximus’ are found 33-37 inches tall at the shoulder, 55-63 inches in length, and 130-220 pounds. Male Maximus’ are 30-33 inches tall at the shoulder, 51-59 inches in length, and range between 66-110 pounds. Their diet is primarily rabbits and mice, although the Spideer Maximus has been found with the remains of larger creatures nearby.

 

The Spideer Maximus, unlike the Minimus, is able to spit an acidic venom from the mouth. This venom will irritate the flesh of the average descendent upon contact with bare-skin; yet, should one be caught as prey, the amount of venom applied is far more and can seriously injure or kill. Able to melt through steel/iron/alloyed armor within 3 emotes, leather in 1. Burning through to the bone in an additional 3 emotes. Tissue left after the fact quickly becomes necrotic.

 

Habitat

 

The Spideer Minimus can be found within woodland forests with nearby caves, and areas with a high population of voidal mages, or voidal magic occurring.

 

The Spideer Maximus can only be found in deep underground caves, and voidally corrupt locations. They are the dominant subspecies within these areas.

 

Temperament & Behaviors

 

The Spideer Minimus’ and Maximus’ are often found in small groups; this is referred to as a brood. The females of each subspecies are the dominant gender, but are still the ones to care for the young.

 

The Spideer Minimus is known to be a friendly, sweet, but incredibly jealous creature. Should one be taken as a pet and put in the same quarters as another pet, it will attempt to compete against the other creature. When taken into a home, the Minimus will spin webs to be found around the house, and will increasingly grow upset when their creations are cleaned up. The Minimus will often attempt to attack smaller creatures than it, but when threatened by a creature larger than it, it will flee to a safe area.

 

The Spideer Maximus is a threatening, territorial beast. They will attack any who enter what they deem as their territory, and will focus all their attention on intruders. Should an intruder be caught in their webs, their attention will very quickly shift on that one individual, ignoring all others that they may have come with.

Redlines:

- The Spideer Maximus is strictly an Event creature, played by ET, and therefore cannot be tamed.

- The Spideer Minimus, if taken as a pet, cannot be used in CRP.

- The ‘poison’ of Spideer cannot be harvested, it is a fast decaying compound.

- Albinism cannot occur in Spideer.

- The glow of a Spideers eye cannot emit enough light for a descendent to see with.

Aren't these a contradiction?
