So i yassified (very slightly, more like redrew) These Two from the last post

Also, freakily enough, Camel spider bartender actually has silicone "skin" and hair on its face and abdomen, so it feels organic. For no reason other than gross factor. It works

Also, pseudoscopion windup! They work alongside the schizomida freaks and are generally stronger, and aren't as populous as the schizomida ones.

THIS RICINULEI ONE, WHICH, OH MY GOD. WHY WAS I NEVER INFORMED OF THESE CUTIE PATOOTIES.

LOOK AT THEM THEY LOOK LIKE IF A WEEVIL AND A SPIDER HAD A BABY!!! ITS GOT BOOTS ON!!! colloquial name for em are hooded tickspiders and despite their name they aren't bloodsuckers just unfortunately named, and they don't have eyes, which is why this guy has constantly closed eyes. I lvoe him so so much. he was inspired by koalas and Uncle Klunk from showbiz pizza, thank you garf for introducing me to Klunk.

I think he and DJMM would be good friends not just because they're both very spiderlike but also because he's not very popular in comparison to the rest of the cast.

DJMM DELUXE!

Many of his improvements are very based on their restaurant location, as DJMM deluxe is one of the few who are not up for auction. He coordinates shows and oftentimes is on the design team for just about anything in the restaurant, be it a seasonal theme or new, upcoming feature. That and he actually produces "silk!"

He's based on habronattus clypeatus, a paradise spider, ones that dazzle their women with their hairy, colorful armpits. Cool!

big gallery of adult forms of almost every species in habronattus

More salt to DJMM's wound but DJMM was actually very popular when he was in the restaurant (partially because he was the most recognizable arachnid, yknow, an actual spider) and when he was sold there was a lot of demand for him to be back, and because of that demand he was hoping that he just might have a chance of getting out of the plex just due to the nostalgia of the original DJMM not being there.

And then Deluxe was made.

And because Deluxe was made, there's not only no chance of him getting back, but there's also now no place for him even if he did get back.

SonicAsura's Doodles #53

His body still felt like it was burning and so did his eyes. Everything now smaller, clearer, yet completely wrong. Hank could feel every appendage, both new and modified, move in tandem with his thoughts. What was the name of that damn project? The one 2BDamned wanted him to dismantle... 'Project Arachnid King'.

I decided to take a spin at the whole Spider Hank niche. Went for a more chimera approach than just sticking to one animal. I looked up what animals were a relative to the spider which led to the idea of the Arachnid King.

This form of Hank stands about 17'8 ft in size and around 700 lb. His abdomen is actually a foldable scorpion tail around 12 ft in length with very powerful paralyzing venom. It can also spin webs just like his hands, feet and Hank can spray large globs of webbing.

The spider limbs on the back of his head can fold to form a makeshift face mask and move similar to a face hugger. He has 5 eyes with two hiding underneath the large goggle lense. Hank can climb walls just like any spider.

That's all I can share for now. Until next time folks, continue to thrive in the madness. Here's the list I found on arachnid classes.

Hooded tickspiders (Ricinulei) are an order of small, predatory arachnids that feed on other arthropods. Despite the name, they are neither true spiders nor ticks. First described from fossils, these arachnids were once thought to be extinct, but more than 70 living species have since been described worldwide.

They are notable for their hood (or cucullus) which can be raised and lowered over the head; when lowered, it covers the mouth and chelicerae entirely. Hooded tickspiders have no eyes, but do have light-sensitive areas of cuticle on their exoskeleton.

After receiving a spermatophore from a male, the female will carry a single fertilized egg under her hood until it hatches.

How do spider lungs work?

@theflashisgone asked: “So why do even tiny spiders have book lungs and how do those work?”

Arachnids and insects are both arthropods, so they have similar breathing systems. As you stated, spiders have book lungs. Arachnids, can be split into two groups, those with book lungs (pulmonate arachnids) and those without (apulmonate arachnids). Pulmonate arachnids consist of spiders (order Araneae), scorpions (order Scorpiones), whip scorpions (order Thelyphonida), tail-less whip scorpions (order Amblypygi), and short-tailed whip scorpions (order Schizomida). While apulmonate arachnids consists of microwhip scorpions (order Palpigradi), harvestmen (order Opiliones), ticks/mites (subclass Acari), false/book scorpion (order Pseudoscorpion), hooded tickspider (order Ricinulei), and camel spiders (order Solifugae).

Pulmonate arachnids, breathe using one or two book lungs. Similar to insects, they also have spiracles that bring air into the body. A book lung is named due to its many folds similar to the pages of a book. Unlike insects, the hemolymph (arthropod “blood”) is used to transport oxygen. These many folds increase surface area, which increases gas exchange. A large amount of gas exchange allows more oxygen to be brought into the hemolymph. Even though this form of breathing transports oxygen similarly to us humans, it is still not a lung like ours. A book lung is still a passive act of breathing, like insects, as the air flows in on its own without the aid of the body.

untranslatablejapaneseidiom reblogged your post: Spider - Camel Spider Tick - Hooded Tickspider...

#I love this but I also wish they had separate names#bc tailless whipscorpions deserve to have their own name#and not be named after not only regular scorpions#but also whipscorpions#i mean whipscorpions also get the name vinegaroons#let my children have their own name

I agree, it’s unfair. At least scientific names exist so we can call them solifugids and amblypygids and so forth. But even then, pseudoscorpions remain in the shadow of scorpions.

Hooded Tickspiders (Order: Ricinulei)

...a small group (58 spp.) of arachnids that have been described worldwide, and are most common in west-central Africa and the Tropical Americas. Like most other arachnids Ricinuelei are predators and will feed on small arthropods. Ricinuleids have impressively complex pedipalps which are mainly used for good manipulation but also bear sensory structures and are used as 'short range' sensory organs. Their pedipalps also end in small pincers, which have been found in Trigonotarbids. Ricinuleids also have a modified second pair of legs which are used as 'long range' sensory organs. Unlike other arachnids ricinuleids lack book lungs and breath through their trachea. One species from Brazil has a 'plastron' that prevents it from getting wet and allows it to breath if covered in water.

Ricinuelids were once thought to be the last living relatives of the extinct Trigonotarbids but this theory was overlooked. However some evidence and sources suggest that they were a sister group to the trigonotarbids. Recent studies have shown that ricinuelids are actually closely related to the Acari.

Spider - Camel Spider

Tick - Hooded Tickspider

Scorpion - Pseudoscorpion - Whipscorpion

Whipscorpion - Tailless Whipscorpion - Shorttailed Whipscorpion - Microwhip scorpion

Arachnids tend to be named in relation to eachother. That is why I propose that mites are now known as “baby shortlegs”
