Talk:Arachnians

From Ultima Codex
Jump to navigation Jump to search

UO refers to the creature in the picture as a terathan. They are never referred to as arachnians to my knowledge. While I personally convinced they are the same creature, UO often deviates from the world of Ultima Prime. Given how precise this Wiki tends to be about information I wonder if at the least this speculation should be qualified as such. --Anarch Cassius 14:14, 12 December 2010 (PST)

I'll add the info, but where do the "terathan" name come from?--Sega381 14:57, 12 December 2010 (PST)
Whoops, I actually meant the other image, the thing from U:X is as likely to have been called an Arachnian as a Terathan as that game was set in Prime. No explanation for the term Terathan is given in game that I know of. The term is mentioned in game and in the T2A manual for UO. Having seen screens shots from the beta referring to a land called "Teratha" I presume this was an old scrapped name for the Lost Lands, which the Terathans orginate in, or something like them. --Anarch Cassius 20:24, 12 December 2010 (PST)
