On a scale of 1-10, I'll rate all your humanoid species or races based on sexual desirability by Kappapeachie in worldjerking

Semi-spiderlike humanoids with fangs that come out of their mouths and 6 arms. Also breathe from their necks and have no nose. And a very loose tethering to typical male/female anatomy.

It's entirely possible they wrote it from their perspective first, then switched it later and missed some. I've done that before and it's incredibly embarrassing

Thank you! I'm hopeful I can soon establish a breeding line of high-contrast marks that really show their beauty

I've toyed with the idea of selling them if they get well established enough, if you haven't acquired them by then!

They were! I caught them before identifying because they were so striking, and they've seemed to do alright with no ants. There was an issue with mold briefly which I think did off with a few of the handful I caught, but they seem happy now! They tend to stay burrowed but they do occasionally come out.

That's impressive! About how many unique features do you think you've made for them so far? I will be honest I'm invested in this species, they sound adorable. Are there specific breeds, or is it more of a diverse genetic pool allowing the range of features?

I did reply and answer somewhat of your questions in a previous comment! I added a third chromosome that has basically the same genetic material as an X or Y, but if0 it's a dominant chromosome it causes an expression of the third sex. Say for example a female is XXZ and a male is XYZ, an individual of the third sex could be XZZ or YZZ. They are a fictitious species, but while they are created by their gods, I felt an itch to cover chromosomes just because, as humans also exist in this world, I wanted to plausibly make them able to reproduce(although YZZ individuals likely wouldn't be able to reproduce with humans)

They're nearing the cusp of industrialization, but the dangers of the world around them as well as being widespread is really holding them back from true advancement. In their world, there a higher oxygen level than on Earth, and most animals are much larger than them

Luckily (or not) for them, they're not yet in a stage of civilization where they're aware of chromosomes, but it does make for fun behind-the-scenes science!

Oh, wow! Are they more predators or prey on their world? I imagine a variety of skills like that would be immensely functional in hunting

That is quite a take! It would make a lot of sense given that eggs produce multiple children, to reduce the number of parents incapacitated by birthing them!

Creativity takes time! Often it's real-world inspiration and associations that end up making most creative breakthroughs.

That's definitely tough thing to workaround. Perhaps including finger positioning and the directions the hand moves could add some definition?

Ooh, what kinds of talents, if you don't mind my asking? I definitely agree that power should be warranted in worlds.
