It's like the first book, but I've worked on the characters and their backstories a bit more so it makes sense to a certain degree. You can ask all the old/new characters!! But Just know, I will be drawing a couple cause the character look I want ca...
I wanted to go more in depth with my lil world and the heirarchies in them, as well as roles played and subspecies, etc etc. Specifically with the different species such as demons! (Also I wanted to make full-blooded designs for my hybrid characters for funsies-). Soooo, here's a new lil mini series for it! Yaaayyyy! Anywho, lesgo!
First up!

Spider Demons are a more upper-middle class equivalent of demon-kind.
They are almost everywhere, much like normal spiders, and have varying roles and positions for their society.
Though the most common occupation spider demons is weavers due to their ability to weave fine yet strong silk that makes for silky, breathable clothing for the wealthy and poor alike, they are also commonly found in positions such as: Librarians, sentry guards, cleaners, bankers, archivists, and especially bakers.
Spider demons appear differently based on biological sex in a few ways. First, the females typically are larger and generally stronger physically, with multiple legs, eyes, occasionally arms, and even entire lower bodies that match that of a spider. Males, on the other hand, are often much smaller and weaker, although faster than their female counterparts, and often only really have multiple eyes and fangs to differentiate them as of spider lineage.
Spider demons have a few tendencies they evolved over time in order to survive, such as the silk of their webs. Their webs are strong, for starters, and also very sticky which helps them catch their prey and organize their belongings. The most common way to remove an old web is to burn it, as the material is highly flammable. Be warned though, as if the web is still occupied these demons WILL remember you. And no one wants to deal with an angered spider. Another tendency is a form of cannibalism within certain spider subspecies of demon spider (example: the Black widow), similar to the praying mantis, where the larger of the two consumes the smaller after fornication. The final notable tendency is their fascinating obsession with organization. It's unknown as to specifically when or why this began, but it's theorized to be a learned habit for the spider demon species as a way to ensure their belongings remain untouched by others; in other words, it most likely began as a territorial habit that evolved into instinct over time.
A few biological traits to keep in mind with demon spiders are as follows:
- They generally have very poor eyesight compared to most other demons, they do not see in color or detail but simply the aura of the soul. They are not the only demon species who sees this way, but are the most notorious for it regardless.
- When they die, they typically fall onto their backs and curl inward onto themselves
- While most spider demons are not venomous, it is important to know they have a much stronger bite than their venomous counterparts
- Spider demons typically prefer to stay away from the spotlight of nobility or fame, preferring a calmer, quaint life where they can simply consume their prey and live without a care
