Solifuges always pushing things to the next level :)

arachnid pedipalps:

spiders: extra leg. also puts sperm here. sex leg.

scorpions: snip snop

pseudoscorpions: snip snop (venomous)

amblypygi & vinegaroons: *grabs you*

The Soliph, a race of intelligent arthropods. They are powerful, and very adaptable, and are worshippers of thought and celestial bodies. They are a stark contrast with most alien designs, even among the rare arthropods. Designed initially after spiders, but new design direction is the heavily understudied Solfugid. These arachnid-like aliens evolved the use of 4 arms as a hand of sorts, and went on from there. They are large in stature, and and relatively strong. They can move very quickly. Most of their organs are very redundant.

Notes: digestion not fully described. Cancerous biomass is destroyed, and the cells put in enzyme mixtures to assist absorption of broken nutrient. This means when they have their prey being digested, less energy is lost- as food breaks down externally, cancerous biomass absorbs it in the mixture, then they drink the remaining mixture. Fat filter catches metals, sends them to oil glands to make an oil that reflects sunlight. They send out waste through an oil gland in bottom of body. Edits: they have oil glands all over that waste is sent to from the entire body. They use it for defense and waste removal. Oil dies and falls off after 30 minutes in general. They are no longer large, their highest stature is 5 feet in human measurements. They relied on foraging more than hunting on early evolution. They do not break down cancerous biomass specifically now, but routinely replace parts of the body by first destroying it with a separate organ. Prevents cancer without me needing to understand cancer.
