Arachnids are a faction ~~that consists mostly~~ of ~~arthopods~~. ~~They~~ are ~~initially aggressive~~ towards ~~the player character, but will only attack other creatures if attacked first or if the creature gets trapped in their web~~.

'''Arachnids''' are a faction consisting of spiders, scorpions, ticks, and the arachnid-like spawn of the [[Girsh]]. All factions which inherit from the [[Beasts]] faction are neutral towards arachnids.

~~Although some~~ arachnids ~~prefer to attack like other factions~~, ~~some prefer to avoid combat and wait until something gets~~ [[~~stuck~~]] ~~in their web to strike~~.

Having the {{f|Spinnerets}} mutation grants {{Player reputation color|+300}} reputation with arachnids, while having one of the three variants of [[Stinger]] mutation grants {{Player reputation color|+200}} reputation with arachnids.

== ~~Legendary Arachnids~~ ==

== Faction Encounters ==

~~Legendary~~ arachnids ~~spawn as~~ a dynamic encounter on a ~~screen~~. ~~This means their "lairs" do not automatically mark its location~~ in the ~~journal~~. ~~An arachnid lair will have~~ {{~~favilink~~|~~web~~|plural}} and {{~~favilink~~|~~phase~~ web|plural}} ~~strewn about the screen~~, ~~with~~ a ~~legendary arachnid surrounded by their posse of other~~ arachnids~~. The legendary one will sometimes have an additional title like~~ "~~Virtuoso Weaver~~". ~~Fittingly~~, ~~they~~ will ~~spawn with different types of cloaks~~, the ~~most valuable being~~ the {{~~favilink~~|~~rainboweave cloak~~}} ~~which can only be found~~ on ~~legendary arachnids~~.

A cluster of arachnids, led by a [[legendary creature|legendary]] arachnid with the title of ''virtuoso weaver,'' are a possible dynamic encounter.{{XML Reference|pop|GenericFactionPopulation}} The inventory of a virtuoso weaver may include {{f|scarlet shawl|plural}}, {{f|vine-weave tunic|plural}}, an {{f|ironweave cloak}}, a {{f|nanoweave vest}}, and a {{f|rainboweave cloak}}.{{XML Reference|pop|FactionEncounterLeaderInventory_Arachnids}} The zone they appear in will be covered with {{f|web|plural}} and the scattered corpses of [[insects]].{{XML Reference|pop|FactionEncounterPartyObjects_Arachnids}}

Notably, {{f|girshling|plural}} are not excluded from leading an arachnid encounter.

== Combat Overview ==

Non-[[Girsh]] arachnids are generally themed around restricting or otherwise controlling the movement of their target, both for offensive and defensive purposes. Aside from weaving {{f|web|plural}} to trap prey in, arachnids may also inflict [[paralyzed|paralysis]], teleport a target within melee range, or avoid damage via [[phased|phase]] mismatch.

In melee, arachnids use a natural weapon on their face, typically a [[Short Blade|short blade]] often called ''fangs.'' {{f|scorpiock|Scorpiocks}} and all varieties of {{f|girshling}} have multiple natural weapons.

A zone encounter with arachnids is an opportunity to obtain a {{f|rainboweave cloak}} and/or a {{f|nanoweave vest}} at a much earlier point in a run than usual.

* If the virtuoso weaver has equipped the desired armor, and if the player does not want the reputation changes they would receive from killing it, they can instead recruit it via {{f|Proselytize}} or {{f|Beguiling}} with relative ease due to its low [[Mental_Armor_(MA)|Mental Armor]].
