Spider (The Transition of Titus Crow)

The "Spiders" (as they're referred to by Titus Crow) are an unnamed species of sapient, spider-like creatures, and one of the many races which inhabit the extradimensional realm of Elysia. It's not known whether they're native to Elysia or were brought by the Elder Gods from elsewhere.

Biology
The Spiders are Human-sized creatures with multiple hairy legs and arms, soft brown eyes, and twitching antennae. They produce whistle-like vocalizations and are capable of speaking English. Their movements are swift, and their multi-armed nature allows them to multitask easily. They are also surprisingly strong; capable of lifting adult Humans off the ground with no effort.

Culture and society
Like all inhabitants of Elysia, the Spiders are a friendly species. They act as maids or janitors in the household of Tiania, in one of the many floating islands that dot the Elysian skies.
