*'''Oolathu''': ''Throughout the entire pen was a massive network of webs. And spaced out on those webs were, as he could count, a half dozen arachnid like creatures worthy of a certain tactical officers ‘nope’ status. And while they varied in size, the largest ones were roughly the size of an Argo buggy. Larger, counting the span of their eight legs. They were fuzzy, or looked like it. Covered in hair. Possessed of several sets of compound eyes, six sets or so he counted. Eight legs far larger than the already robust bodies they had. A spinneret. Two of the smaller ones were weaving more web into the larger, if aesthetically lovely framework. And pincers. Or mandibles. Or whatever they were called. He couldn’t ever recall. They are soft. Some breeds of Oolathu are docile enough that one can ride them. They spin much of their silk that the Endaasi weave it into clothing. As well as industrial tethers and the like. It’s quite strong.
