This avatar is a lower body, Bento-rigged attachment designed for use with both male and female shapes! Six coats are available (see below) and each package includes the avatar body mesh, an alpha layer, and animation overrider. The avatar is mod, copy, no trans, with some no-mod scripts for updates.
Full, most up-to-date documentation can be found at http://bit.ly/2yJegH9 .
Please note! This avatar uses hind, wing, and tail bones! It may be incompatible with other Bento-enabled products – please try a demo first, as I cannot give refunds (other than for duplicate purchases).
CHANGELOG:
2017/10/21 - This update provides two crucial changes to the avatar mesh - first, attachment points have been moved to accommodate the lower limbs and abdomen as much as possible. Second, extensive testing has taken place with regards to matching with many mesh bodies. One additional mesh shape was added to accommodate Avatar 2.0 and other mesh bodies which do not have sufficient alpha granularity. Please check the documentation link for full details.
Badily Needs More Animations
While the mesh body it self is very nice, there is a super lack of animations. It's bare minimal, and the running animation is terrible. (Looks like your riding a horse) Some suggestions I would have is more options on the stands and a better run. Even if it's a separate animation bundle, or even an open source file people can use to develop animations for this. - Overall I don't think it's worth the cost in it's current state.
How I would improve the stands? Make more animations that are less bobbly, with the limited animations now they look like the spider is ether humping something, or looping a battle animation. Animations for males could cross their arms and give a more stronger poses, while the females could have more flirty animations.
For the running animations I would suggest a Open armed running animation (for chasing people) and maybe a spear holding animation.

Amazing avatar!
One of the reasons I got on SL was a friend told me I could have centaur and arachne avatars. It's taking 3 years but I finally have an amazing arachne avi! I do wish a few things were different; It stood higher up, it had pedipalps, you could add markings on the abdomen, and could turn the leg hair off. But otherwise, it's beautiful. I love it! ♥
Body's great but lacking
I love the fact that there's now a Bento Drider,arakne bodyon the market but I find it sorely lacking in features other Drider, Arak bodies possese IE a Web rezzer they are part spider afterall so naturally they'd produce Silk, wall climber and hanging thread.
maybe in an update we can get these features potentially other then that it's a good solid body.
Best spider/drider related avi you're likely going to find
Before saying anything, this is pretty much the best quality drider you will find. The use of bento bones for the limbs makes it so the animations look smooth when walking, which I like.
- I'd like for there to be a little bit more animations in this. Sure there's walk, run, jump, etc, but I've seen similar products that come with many more options for animations.
- I had issues putting stuff onto the abdomen. Parts put on "pelvis" would often move away with certain animations. Just a notice to anyone looking to put stuff on the abdomen.
Final notes: Spiders are cool, so is this avatar part. I recommend checking the documentation in the desc and checking out the demo before you purchase. My #1 wish to the creator is a dance animation so I can "shake dat abdomen".
Very good. Works well with my 3 mesh bodies.
It goes well with my male mesh av (Slink Physique), as well as my Maitreya Lara and [female] Slink.
It isn't laggy. It works well. Being modifiable is a bonus, especially since I was able to remove the leg hair.
Clothes-wise, a lot of tops (jackets, shirts, and vests) work fine with it too. I feel it was worth the cost.
^^;..;^^
Very fun, good movement and one or two of my dance animations even still work out. I know it's in the name and all but i was a little surprised at the red widow hourglass underneath, since in the pic it just looks solid black/hairless... but the leg hairs were easy enough to turn transparent. So if you're looking to be solid black I'd suggest coloring the white body instead, which is what I will be doing when i can afford it.
