DESCRIPTION: Spider Lils have a humanoid body. They have four spiderlike arms attached to their back. Each arm ends in a three fingered hand that has spinnerets in the "palm." These arms and hands are very dexterous and are able to wield tools and weapons as well as their humanoid arms. Each humanoid arm has two fingers and a thumb. Their legs have an extra joint in them and they end in two claws. The spider Lils have eight eyes, the arrangement of the eyes depends upon the tribe. The spider Lils' coloration covers the spectrum, and they have varied markings. The bones and muscles of the spider lil are very dense.
The spider lils employ a wide variety of weapons around their home. There will be several traps on the outskirts. Also, there will be a variety ballista weapons. The first type of ballista weapons is a crossbow jury rigged for the spider lil to be able to fire. The bolts of this weapon will be covered in some type of local poison. The second type of ballista is a handgun secured to a wooden frame which allows the spider lil to move and fire the gun. The third type of ballista involves DNA locks. The spider lils take a freshly severed human or android hand and jury rigs it with the weapon to be able to fire.
In hand to hand combat, the spider lils poison their hand-held weapons with their own poison. Also, they will make "web bombs" that contains a powdered version of their poison. The spider lils can leap 3 meters upward and backward; and 5 meters forward. Those affected by the taller mutation can leap 6 meters upward and backward; and 10 meters forward.
Spider Lils also use allies in their defense and combat situations. In the Great Kudzu Jungle, the lurker is used troop carrier, tank, and general support. Also, the lorida orp is used as the lurker is and used as shock troops when required. Other tribes use whatever creature they can find that will work with them. It is rumored that tribes in urban ruins have modified ancient vehicles--yes beware the heavily armed and armored GO-CART of DEATH.
The spider lils prefer to set their villages up in out of the way places. They maintain a work and play hard ethic. Everyone has an important job to do, regardless of what the job is. The center of a spider lil village is the library. This is where most of the techs live, work, and die. The techs are responsible for all mechanical and technological goings on in the village. The techs do not believe in the impossible. Lately, they have been working on how to use cybernetics for their race.
Every 18 months, spider lil villages from around Mergia will travel to a secret location for a species "equinox." They trade many things here; animals, gadgets, gems, ideas, and DNA. The spider lil mate throughout the whole year, but the "equinox" celebration gives them the chance to share their bloodlines.
Every thirteenth generation there several spider lil are born who are affected by the taller mutation. While they are very welcomed in their tribe, they realize they are very different. The "equinox" celebration offers them a chance to meet others of their size.
