#20 – Half- Arachnidian Dreamwalker

A half- arachnidian is seen as an abomination by most human tribes, but can live in the shadow of it’s terrifying inhuman parent only if brought up by a slave- a proposal that would put the already endangered prisoner in even more trouble. The only saving grace is that, as the half- arachnidian devellops, it gives off no mamillian scent, making it invisible to casual searches from the monsters. The sad part is that most slaves, unless they possess demonstrable value in a trade or craft, are also food.

A half- arachnidian that can survive to puberty gains the enhanced mental powers of it’s human parent, combined with the superior senses, blinding speed and strength of the arachnidian.

This one, and it can be surmised that for now he is the only of his kind, has escaped from the deep barrows of the arachnidians, and through it’s foster parent’s inclinations and tutelage turned to mysticism, and now wanders the edges of the wastes, where it can sense people’s dreams with it’s incomprehensibly enhanced sense of smell.
