Description
the best parts of some arachnids into one animal

this arachnid hunts and spins webs, which ever it wants to depending on environment and prey. it uses the spikes on it's pedipalps for defense. chelicera and pedipalps are used for making burrows as well as capturing and dismembering prey. it possesses 3 means of envenomation, it's fang (moving "finger" in chelicera or jaws), it's manus (the movable "finger" on the claws of the pedipalps), and it's telson (the stinger at the end of the "tail"). and with the great eyes (by arachnid standards) of the jumping spider this animal is made for acquiring food. the way this species care for it's children is a mixture between some species of solifugid and scorpions. some individuals may wrap the eggs in a silk cocoon and leave it someplace safe. this animal lives in trees, under rocks, in caves, in burrows, it's web, anywhere really because of all it's animal parts and the variety in which they lived. it is very adaptable and has many different ways to hunt and live unlike most animals with predictable behaviors.

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” -Charles Darwin
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chelicera: rhagodes solifugid (spider venom gland in fang)
Pedipalps: emperor scorpion, spikes amplypygid (pseudoscorpion venom gland in manus)
1st Legs: solifugid (all legs have the glass climbing sucker of solifugid pedipalps)
Last 6 Legs: nephila komaci spider
Metasoma (Tail): fattail scorpion (spinnerets of spider on end)
Mesosoma (Abdomen): amalgamation of all animals involved
Eyes: jumping spider
Cephalothorax (Head): solifugid

i think i shoulda made the legs and mesosoma bigger, but i wanted it to be able to spin webs and use them without it's weight knocking it through.

coincidentally this contest came during my impossible creatures binge. i think we should all play some impossible creatures (with the insect invasion expansion pack of course) to commemorate this contest/movie!
