what exactly does Malachi do when he’s in his spider form? No ones around so how does he pass time?
Hi! Sorry for the late answer, though I hope thus response helps!
Mini disclaimers:
-This is a fanon au, so not all of this is canon, including my oc Malachi's related to Arachne.
-I am aware that Arachne is from Ovid's Metamorphoses (Book 6) and that is from Roman. So I am just adding this as a inspiration for my au. (I am very sorry if I upset some people, pls don't smite me-)
-This is a mixture of Filipino myth, Malachi is half spider half aswang. Aswang are basically vampires but Filipino. They are creatures that can shapeshift, they eat blood and organs mainly the fetuses of mothers womb.. So uh yeah their target are pregnant women.. They are also nocturnal too. (The term aswang according to what I searched varies to ghoul, vampire, or witch or other evil creatures from the filipino folk lore.. Though correct me if I am getting some few information wrong ^^.)
Warnings ⚠️:
This contains mentions of blood, hunting animals, monstrous transformation, ommetaphobia (fear of eyes. I mean Malachi’s form a spider, he's gonna have multiple eyes for this, yikes.) Etc. Pls read this at your own risk. Feel free to skip this if you feel uncomfortable.

ABILITIES
Heightened sense: He can sense EVERYTHING. The footsteps, heartbeats voices, anything. Even lies. He's basically a walking lie detector at this point. A advantage to use when hunting preys.
Unhuman Flexibility and speed: Basically he has flexible bones and can do the most atrocious pose ever that it blinds the freaking creatures in the forest and terrifies the nymphs or centaurs. Moves fast silently.
Can do Wall walking, bro doesn't need handholds. HE is the handhold.
360° eyes: Has multiple pairs of eyes, acts like cctv camera. So no backstabs.
Web silk manipulation: Creates or produces silk webs from his palms or from his mouth. Can bind anyone. The silk can range from thin to thick and it's very strong that anyone will struggle to break it.
Venom bite: Sharp manibles that can bite or suck the opponents skin, they will have vemon on their skins. Symptoms like dizziness, nausea, and death. Depending how lethal it is. It can also make the victim numb or sleep depending what he chooses.
Plant hybrid:
Toxin web: Malachi can apply toxins to his web and they have paralytic plant based venom, the scent is metallic with a mix of crushed mint.
Immune to poison, or pain in general: Malachi can consume poison without taking any damage as well as pain. Although stuns could slow him down.
Camouflage: Blends into the dark forest. Difficult to spot in.
Blooming wrath: When provoked, his carapace or his shell cracks flowers and release a bunch a fog, and a bunch of pollen intoxicating people, or creating fear or hallucinations out of them.
Aswang part:
Blood drinking: Yes, he can suck internal organs through his tongue and mandibles, sometimes both.
Durability and Regenertiok of wounds: His saliva or blood can heal him from his wounds. Though not all scars were healed cause he chooses not to.
My laptop crashed two times when making this. I decided not to finish the shading cause of that. This is as finished as it gets.
We have Zestial in demon form. His bones are pinkish and muscles jadish in color. He has fuzzy feet, eyebrows and... Let's go with butt. I know the spine shouldn't be like that, but it looks cooler. The dark grey parts are actually his skin. The legs have a hard shell that hides the rest of the fuzziness.
His spit is actually acidic, wgich would have been drawn as, if the laptop didn't say no....Computer said no.
The lines outside are actually a haluccination by the sinner on the floor. The affected siner thinks he is trapped in a silky cacoon., inflicting more fear into him.
