Editing Aranea (section)

==Monstergirls==
Weirdly, despite the artwork shown at the top of the page, the aranea never really caught on in /tg/ eyes as a [[monstergirls]]-friendly species. Precisely why is unknown, and probably has to do with the species' obscurity amongst the modern /tg/-going crowd. This is a shame, because the species is actually very compatible with such a depiction. After all, their background as sapient spiders that developed the ability to assume wholly & partially humanoid form is reminiscent of the [[hengeyokai]], one of the older real-world monstergirl species. The fact that every "demispider" form is unique gives you all but explicit permission to make your aranea look like whatever floats your boat in terms of spider-girls; want a not![[Drider]]? A bipedal spidergirl? Something more human? Something more monstrous? You can go with whatever angle you like, and you're still being canon. Add in all the stuff about them being passionate, loving, and monogamous by their canon fluff, and they're practically tailor-made for the spider-waifu crowd.

Perhaps, one day, they will get the recognition they deserve, but until then, they languish in obscurity where only those MG fans most interested in D&D will venture to go.
