Tasloi

Creeping from the treetops lurks the Tasloi and their eight legged hunting companions. They are specialized to hunt from the tree tops with some living their whole lives without treading upon the jungle floor. They are perfectly suited for their primitive lifestyle as they hunt and cause panic on suspecting folks that fail to look up.

One with the Jungle

Tasloi dwell in trees, building their homes in them and hunting from them. They run along branches and jump through the trees faster as any other race would traverse flat ground. They live primitive lives based on who is the strongest. When on the ground they tend to struggle as their talons and hunched posture impede their movement.

Humanoid Jungle Dweller

Tasloi are 3 ft tall with gold, cat-like eyes; their green skin is thinly covered in coarse, black hair. They have a stooped, crouching posture and their knuckles drag on the ground when they walk. Their faces are wide and short with tall pointed ears, a bulbous nose, and a toothy smirk. Their feet have three toes and end in talons. They wear ragged clothes and carry all of their weapons and necessities at all times.

Working with Spiders

The Tasloi are close with spiders of every kind. They share the canopy of the jungle with them and though they do not share a language they are able to hunt together and share prey. They are able to use spider silk to make nets and ropes to hold up their treehouses. They adorn themselves with bits of spider silk products like bracelets and necklaces and often have spider tattoos.
