Earth Spider

The Earth Spider (土蜘蛛) is a spirit. It currently resides in the city of Pappelt, under the care of Regin Suwen and Marone Lisbon.

Appearance
The spirit's original appearance is unknown.

Starting from an unspecified time in the past, the spirit began gathering various living beings and mixing them into a single mass, which became the spirit's provisional body. This mass was covered in skin of different colors: one part red, one part black, and one part white. Its surface exhibited fibers similar to fur, along with several eyes and mouths scattered unevenly on it. It also had around twenty limbs, plus tentacles, which is why it was named the Earth Spider.

The size of its body increased with each new creature that the spirit incorporated into the mass. The first reported sighting of the Earth Spider indicated that it was nearly the size of a child at the time, whereas three months later, at the time of its last sighting, it was more akin to the size of a hill.

After being adopted by Regin and Marone, the Earth Spider freed all the creatures mixed into its provisional body and took the form of a small spider, which it currently maintains.

Personality
The Earth Spider was born as an emotionless spirit, with barely any conscience.

It started developing interests of its own when it first witnessed the anguish of dying creatures. After fusing with one of those creatures and vicariously experiencing the fear of death, which was the first emotion the spirit ever felt, the shock drove it to develop an obsession with saving every being from death. Thus, the Earth Spider began to absorb other creatures while searching for a method to save them.

When Regin, Otto, Garfiel, and Marone first tried to reason with it and tell the spirit that its goal was impossible, the Earth Spider refused to accept the truth. However, in the end, thanks to Regin and Marone's words, it abandoned its fixation on death and accepted the two as its mentors.
