Arachne

Encyclopedia Entry:
The Arachne is a monster with the torso of a woman and the lower body of a spider. They are highly intelligent, but have an intense lust that is even greater. Due to their hostility and immense physical capabilities, they are considered extremely dangerous.

They’re capable of producing sticky thread from their bodies, which they use to create a network of webs. These webs often serve as traps to ensnare prey, and any animals or humans that touch them will be trapped by the strong, sticky fibers, unable to escape. Catching food is the primary purpose of course, but the webs are used to catch things for personal use as well. For example, if a human man happens to wander into her trap she will begin to forcibly have sex with him in order to reproduce. Being that she is very sexually active, if the man is unable to keep up with her or if she takes a liking to him, she may restrain him inside her nest so that they can continue later.

Furthermore, as for what Arachnes fancy, in addition to thread they also have a soft spot for the fiery tempered. In case of being caught by an Arachne, cooperation would the best course of action. For some reason, if the man she catches is able to struggle and resist, she will be pleased with him and fall in love, which decreases any chance of being released nicely.

Even more surprisingly, they take pride in their sewing, and will give clothes to men that they’ve taken a liking to. However, the significance here is that this is how they propose to their love interests. If he accepts her gift, she will keep him for good, regardless of whether he likes it or not.
