Facade Arachena

Facade Arachena are an illusionary Rare Species of Arachena.

Physiology
Facade Arachena have a glossy white exoskeleton with lavender hair and crest. The crest on their heads are shaped differently than other Arachena. They are significantly larger than normal Arachena, being about the size of a Seltas Queen.

Ecology
Facade Arachena are believed to have mostly the same ecology as normal Arachena, but as reliable sightings are slim, nobody knows for sure. Their larger size and strength means they can fight larger prey, even those capable of defeating a normal Arachena.

Any additional biological information, such as life cycle, interactions with other Arachena, and why they evolved their illusionary abilities, remains a mystery.

Behavior
Facade Arachena are infamous for their hostility, just as with their normal counterparts. Facade Arachena are known to violently attack any perceived threat, real or not. Their intensely territorial nature often results in clashes between other monsters. When enraged, they lock their attention to the offender and will attack relentlessly until they are scattered across the landscape. They take great pride in their webs, and will viciously attack those who damage them.

Abilities
Facade Arachena's most famous trait is the ability of its webs to bend and reflect light to distort one's view of reality. Observers cannot see an Inflamed Arachena through the web, and monsters' size become distorted. Destroyed or damaged objects seem to be entirely normal. Any damage to the webs can ruin the illusion.

Their other trait is the ability to create a doppelganger out of shed skin and silk. It is not known how they become animate, or if they even are real, resulting in disorientation when trying to fight the Facade Arachena. They can hit just as hard as normal Arachena, which adds to the confusion. A strange creature, indeed.

Habitat
The habitat of Facade Arachena have not been determined due to their elusive and uncertain nature. They have definitely been spotted at the Tower, but there have been occasional sightings in the Sunken Hollow.
