PikminFanon:Taxonomy Project/Pseudoarachnia

Pseudoarachnia is a genus of creatures on the Pikmin Planet, and the most common genus in the arachnorb family. The name comes from pseudo-, a prefix meaning false, and arachnia, a common misspelling of the class arachnida. As such, pseudoarachnia is the arachnorbs' closest in physiology to the arachnida class but they deviate in a way specific to the arachnorb genus. Their most obvious difference from arachnida is that they have both half the number of legs and half the number of body divisions as arachnids, four and one respectively compared to eight and two. However, they are similar to arachnida in that they are carnivorous, eating pre-digested animals, and have an exoskeleton.
