Aranta

The Aranta, sometimes also referred to as Arantañans, were a Sentient Arachnid genus native to the planet Arantaña. When native to their homeworld, they were notable for their warlike and tribal ways, with an aggressive demeanor universal to all members.

They had a very noteworthy sexual dimorphism, with the females generally being larger, stronger, and living longer than their male counterparts. Their increased size and stamina ultimately made them better hunters and warriors on their homeworld, and, due to their culture having surrounded Hunting and War heavily, would most often be leaders of tribes, resulting in many of their off-world colonies being primarily matriarchal.
