how do they feel about spiders? Why?: I have arachnophobia XD not sure why tbh but I always shake when they surprise me n cry, I've only now started being able to opt them in cups n get rid if em but I still can't go anywhere near them, yet despite this I actually like Turantula which makes NO sense XD they don't scare me tho I'm sure if one was in the room with me they or in would n yet anything smaller til a baby spider freaks me out.

how do they feel about spiders? why?
They love spiders, and often hang out with them. They used to be scared of them when they were young, but have grown a fascination through being left with them and don't mind when they crawl on them. They're especially fond of wolf spiders, and like to watch all spiders hunt or weave webs. Their best friend is a texas brown tarantula.

Hopefully I'm not intruding, but... It looks like a Puella Magi Madoka Magica Witch/Familiar... So pretty!

how do they feel about spiders? why?
Mårā loves and respects Their smol comrades. Spiders keep Them good company and never ask too much or too little from the colorful xurse. Spiders will feast upon what they need to survive and help Mårā keep pests away, They hope that one day the spiders will help rise up and feast upon the pests of the capitalist regime that currently run everything.

how do they feel about spiders? why?:

Qééz feels really good near spiders and isn't afraid of most of them. Hovewer, she still keeps distance of about 50 centimeters to avoid getting bitten, since she's not really good at recognizing species of a spider. The only species she knows well are the black widows and peacock spiders.

Qééz, as all the other xurse hasn't got a gender, but she's considered a female, though she doesn't mind to be called a "he".

But back to spiders. When she notices a peacock spider, she always walks up as near as she can, carefully, not wanting to squish it. For some reason she feels really interested in them, she also feels safe in their companion.

But when she notices a black widow, the situation is... a bit more chaotic. She freezes for a second, kind of playing dead so the spider doesn't bite her. When the black widow is either too near or about to bite, Qééz runs away, almost breaking her legs. Same with the situation when the black widow decides to leave and it's far enough for Qééz to move.

Other than that, Qééz is really interested in spiders and doesn't mind them crawling on her, unless the spider can be dangerous. There's not much explanation, why Qééz acts like that and is so interested in these 8-legged creatures. While others fear spiders and would just smack them with their shoe, this xurse would stand up for the spider and get hit with the shoe herself.
