Trivia
Origin
It is based off the diving bell spider, although it‘s skinny, long legs and slender body also make it resemble a sea spider. The face-like markings on its head may be derived from the happy-face spider, which is native to Hawaii. It may also be based off of a helmeted diver or astronaut.
Etymology
Araquanid is a portmanteau of arachnid and aqua. It may also derive from Arrakis, a desert planet from the Dune series of books, on which non-native lifeforms would need special suits to keep from dehydrating, similar to the function Araquanid's bubble serves.
