Tradesmun Spider

A large, spindly spider (roughly dinner plate sized) with a pair of long claw-like arms. They are relatively rare and prefer warm, dry environments. They have a rudimentary intelligence, and are incredibly friendly and helpful; they will happily retrieve lost or dropped items, bringing them back to whoever it deems the likely owner.

All it wants is another item as a token of thanks, holding the found item until given something in exchange, hence their name. Each Tradesmun Spider has its own preferences, but they are happy with most things they are given, providing they are capable of carrying it. They do not enjoy captivity, but are occasionally willing to “ride” on creatures for a time.

They are seen as lucky in most cultures, and attacking a Tradesmun Spider is extremely frowned upon. Even if the item they are offering is not the owner, a common superstition is that such an item will either bring luck, or be of great use at some point.
