Spinnet

The Spinnet are a bipedal arachnid species native to Novrayth.

### Traditional Names

The names of the Spinnet, though difficult to describe the overall sound of, are often filled with plosive letters, especially the letters 'C', 'K', and 'T'. Such sounds are produced differently than most other species, with harsh clicks and chatters produced from clicking parts of their jaws. The exact sounds are difficult to replicate by other races (other than maybe the Aveak, who similarly pronounce similar sounds by clicking their beaks), but the Spinnet always enjoy when they try. The Spinnet do not utilize surnames and take great care to not use the same names of other individuals. If two Spinnet have the same name, then their rank of employment or their place of living is used as a differentiator (their rank of employment is used as a title. Lastly, their names are gendered, and a special category of names is denoted to the third sex known as Zha'ne (though such people may prefer to use a female or male name).

### Physical Description

The Spinnet are arachnid bipeds that greatly resemble spiders. Though they resemble spiders, they do not have a cephalothorax, and their thoraxes and heads are separated. They have hard carapaces on top of endoskeletons, which are covered in a mix of very fine hairs and larger, thicker hairs that lie mostly flat against their shell. These hairs can be black, various shades of grey, and brown while their exoskeletons are either dark grey or black. With such a lack of colour variety, the Spinnet like to decorate themselves with paints that often glow in the dark. The patterns they adorn themselves usually resemble the markings of spiders and tarantulas, though they sometimes choose unnatural markings they make up on their own.

Spinnet have eight eyes, their primary eyes being the closest together around the centre of their faces, and also being the largest. All eyes are the same colour (unless in the rare case of heterochromia, in which some eyes may be of one additional colour), which can be red, orange, amber, gold, or yellow. Only their primary eyes have pupils while the other six are devoid of them.

Lastly, the Spinnet have eight limbs in total, which consist of four arms and four legs. Their arms are the limbs located on the upper half of their body while their legs are the limbs on the lower half of their body. The hands on their upper limbs have three fingers and a thumb, all of which end in claws. The feet on their legs have three large hook-like claws in place of toes.

Unlike many other races, female Spinnet are much larger than males, while the height of the Zha'ne individuals varies greatly. Zha'ne individuals don't have a consistant height, though they're almost always taller than males. However, one thing that is consistant among the Zha'ne is that they are bulkier, with thicker and heavier exoskeletons.
