Appearance

Arachnoquake Spiders are large tarantulas of varying sizes. They possess bone-white exoskeletons with gray and black highlights near the tips of their legs and on their undersides; their bodies also possess sporadic black hairs. Their eyes are black, as are the dotted patterns on their abdomens.
