Arachnorb family: Difference between revisions

The names of the creatures in this family are a pun on "daddy long legs", the name given to real world spiders on the {{w|pholcidae}} family and {{w|opiliones}} order. Those spiders have long, spindly legs and a small body, much like the arachnorbs. The name of the Man-at-Legs is a pun between that and {{w|man-at-arms}}. These creatures's Japanese names follow a scheme along the words "Orb Spider" ({{j|ダマグモ|Dama Gumo}}), referring to their spidery appearance and bulbous centers. The word ''Pseudoarachnia'' used in the scientific name of these creatures represents the genus, and means "pseudo-arachnid", with ''pseudo'' being Greek for "fake", and an English word in its own right, and ''arachnia'' being a reference to ''arachnida'', the real world class for spiders.
