Arachnian



Arachnians (pronounced uh-RAK-nee-ens) are one of the minor races in Minecraft.

Personality
Arachnians are a quiet and shy sort, not needing much communication to get by. They have the ability to tame and control Spiders as easily as taming a dog, hence their name. They have only four towns, being rather small compared to the larger and major races. Despite their little courage, they have the advantages of Spiders and usually blaze through the wars they go through.

Culture
Arachnians are neutral to everyone except their enemies, being too shy to make true allies. Due to this, not many people know who or where Arachnians are. They are an Observist race.

Observism
Races with Observism believe that all of the world is an experiment and that they are to study it in order to understand it clearly. Due to this, many of the citizens within the race end up scientists, biologists, astronomers, ect. They are the ones that end up writing all the books that talk about how the world works, animal biology and anatomy, constellations, and other scientific topics.

Appearance
Arachnians usually wear clothes according to their main colors (teal and orange) and have red eyes, goldish yellow hair, and tan skin. Some wear lab coats.

Sports
Arachnians do not normally play sports or games, but sometimes they do Spleef and Ghast Blasting as well as their unique Arachnian sport called Spider Bucking.

Spider Bucking
This is very similar to some rodeos, where instead of riding a bucking horse or bull, a pair of Arachnians ride a bucking spider. They see who falls off first, and whoever does looses. The other person is allowed to use swords to knock the other rider off. If the spider lands on his back, either both people loose or it is counted as a draw.

Towns, Cities, and Colonies
Spidopolis - The oldest Arachnian town and medium-sized; known to hold the most Spider Bucking tournies

Cave Central - The latest town with a new variation of Spider Bucking for using Cave Spiders rather than regular ones

Silvermine City - The biggest Arachnian town, holds several different Spider Bucking tournies and has a giant mine next to it known for holding rich ammounts of iron ore

Moontown - The only city known to be out in the open rather than underground

Merchandise
Arachnians use the same <> currency as Witherans do, however they have more books than all other races, mostly talking about the world of science and life's mysteries. Food includes pork, lamb chops, beef, and bread.
