"Who will miss you, soft-skin? A wife? A child? Perhaps they will learn from your fate and teach future generations to stay away from the forest."-Quote based off the Magic: The Gathering card, Triton Shorestalker
The villified and fabled Arachne live alone in the deepest throws of the forest, mountains and jungles of the islands. Believed to have been cursed ages ago, their body is a grotesque union between the upper half of the body and the bottom half of a spider. Their upper half is usually a mix of skin colour, but usually favouring the extremities of either the dark ebony or the pale albino. The spider half also seems stricken by this polarization, usually being completely hairy or completely void of it.
The Arachne society is one frought with xenophobia and close-knit families. Usually, Arachne will live in tribes stemming of only a handful of families, with the average family consisting of 2 parents and 1-2 children, almost always 1 son and 1 daughter. The mother takes on the role of teaching the daughters, and the father takes on the of teaching the sons. The tribe leader tends to oscillate between the eldest female and the eldest male. Though tribes can vary on these aspects, they are all tethered together by a sense of betrayal and severe animosity towards the other islanders. Few even consider making contact with them, even fewer consider befriending one. Despite their hermit nature. Arachne's pride themselves on their worth to their tribe, usually proving themselves through hunting successes or their magic sensitivity.
Arachne society does not see physical maturity as the full maturation of a fledgling arachne, rather they must prove themselves to the tribe, and then the elder bestows them a new name reflecting their achievement.
Arachne tend to have two names, their child name (given by the parents) and an adult name (given by the elder).
Adult names depend purely on the achievement, and child name is usually the colour of their skin and a flower, followed by the season in which they were born.
examples include:
OrchidUmber Winter.
Whitelily fall.
Paletulip spring.
Adult names will typically include the season.

"Steigen, if you keep staring at me, I'm going to hit you..." - Eloton, an 'atypical' holstaur.
Paragraph exlpaining basics of the holstaur and their appearance Holstaurs are gentle beasts and amiable creatures, often living in rural villages and working as farmhands. They are descendants of the Minotaurs, and keep the hooves and horns that they are well known for. Although their horns are typically more white and smoother than a Minotaur's. They stand taller than your average human, and are considerably stronger. Unfortunately, they are considerably less intellegent than your average human, and often considered a child in a minotaur's body. They can be quite aloof and whimsical, albeit a bit clumsy and not always knowing their own strength. Their milk is very well regarded for its taste and some local adventurers, who cannot afford the price tag of a healing potion, rely on it during their adventures.
Holstaurs almost always live in farming villages or small towns, preferring the simplicity of farming life to the confusing toils of city life. They are very well known for being kind and helpful, and almost never consider committing crimes.
