Their plot twist is that contrary to usual aliens, they can't reproduce quickly. This makes their background very sad.

 

But what if they manage to find a way to reproduce quickly ? They may threaten all other sentient beings. They will enslave them, treat them as animals, or kill them. They will not hesitate too much before doing this because they don't have much empathy for Kiths and think they are animals.

Actually contrary to what you believe, the in-game bestiary provided an explanation that is the exact opposite, They threaten kith precisely because their reproduction rate is so low. It is kith that hunt them for researching their cipher abilities (hence their brain being an ingredient for enchantment) and they can't risk their young. If they were not as threatened due to low numbers, they probably will be more curious about meat-creatures.

 

Don't know if this is relevant as well, but the Portia Spider is considered to be among the most intelligent invertebrates. They are capable of curiosity.

 

One of their leaders even apologize to you. So they do in fact value meat-creature lives. Since it's a mental link they communicate to you with (and you being a watcher and all), they probably can't lie this way.

 

They don't seem to be interested in conquering anything because they just don't understand concepts like property or greed.

Hehe very interesting for Portia Spider. I'm actually very interested in this kind of subject ^^

 

 

Well, my post above may just have been about my own imagination after all ^^
