Description
~
A spider-esque creature with only three legs and one eye. Said legs having 2 sphere shaped joints covered in short but thick hairs. Each joint can rotate 360 degrees all around, giving the spider-like creature an amazing sense of flexibility and maneuvering on any terrain. Gifted with the ability to carry loads of about 10 times their weight thanks to their incredibly powerful manidbles and claws. Each limb ends with a spheric 'paw' with 6 tiny nail like appendages that can grasp onto surfaces and objects much like any other arachnid. Their claws however, prove useful defence tools as they can swat them with speeds that can knock a fly out of the air- although fast, they lack the strength to cause any real injuries to any well dressed man apart from cuts and bruises. Their single eye can rotate all around their socket, no one is sure whether the creature has any pupils but it is rumored that the entire eye is translucent and therefor, a pupil all on its own; giving the creature a 180 degree view of its world at all times.
Tri-Achnids are Monogamous, which means after finding a mate, they will stick together until one perishes, where the other will remain alone to protect the offsprings until they hatch and leave the parental web. The Tri-Achnids can spin webs that are in theory stronger than steel and incredibly elastic without stretching permanently. However, these webs are slightly thicker than normal spider webs, and take much longer to create. Tri-Achnids usually use webs as breeding grounds to store their eggs; the eggs usually made of coiled up webs made into a sphere like cacoon where the larvae can grow and feed off the webs' natural nutrient based fibers. The eggs usually weigh 130 lbs, which the Tri-Achnid can easily lift with their mandibles and carry around if need be. tri-Achnids are extremely protective about their eggs, ready to throw themselves at an enemy of any size or shape to protect their young or their mate.

Diet: Small Insects ; Herbs ; Berries ; Their own webs
(larvaes only)Area:Dense ForestsTri-Achnids whom reside in the dense forests, usually around small towns or near the sea will make their webs near small clusters of trees to guarantee the capture of small insects without risking having a large creature destroy their work accidentally. Tightly clustered trees are also a good way to evade predators. Forest Tri-Achnids are prone to migration and changing territory, if they are with a mate, both will follow each other.
DesertsWhen in the empty deserts, Tri-Achnids will usually build an underground den where they will await prey to walk near before lurching out to grab and drag them in. Desert Tri-Achnids are much more aggresive and dangerous than any other species. Mating usually happens when a male or female approaches a den after smelling it out; where the two will reside and live in permanently.
MountainsMountains are the homes of the most numerous species of Tri-Achnids. They live in caves, cracks and sometimes ledges, making large, elaborate webs to attract mates and curious insects. Mountain Tri-Achnids' webs smell very sweet, and therefor attract small insects all on its own. Some Tri-Achnids in this area, most commonly males, will sometimesshow cannibalism against the same gender if no food can be found.
