Ranchos

This article is a sTUB you can help by.////
Ranchos are the officially endorsed nickname for Psionically Enhanced Arachnids (sometimes also shortened to PEAs). They are used to designate a select subset of spiders that anomalously achieved human-level cognitive function between 2017 and the present day. The word "Rancho" is a distortion of "Tarantula", though not every Tarantula is a Rancho and not every Rancho is a tarantula.
Despite their widespread nature and classification under "Phenomena", Ranchos are not considered threatening in any real capacity. Though they were originally classified as α3 parastandard entities, they have been recently re-labeled under the less hazardous α2 moniker. This is largely due to the readily predictable nature of their powers, the limitations of their anomalous facet, and their naturally easygoing disposition. The average Rancho is in practice nothing more than a sapient arachnid, and generally gets along with others they don't perceive as threats to their life.
