DnD 3.5 to 5e Monster Conversions: Aranea

The creature appears to be a monstrous spider, but it has two small humanlike arms below its mandibles. 
- Dungeons and Dragons v3.5 Monster Manual


Another monster from the 3.5 monster manual that got left behind in 5e is the Aranea. They aren't really lycanthropes, but they do happen to be one of the closest things to a werespider in the Forgotten Realms. Spider-like creatures with inherent spellcasting, they also have shapechanging abilities similar to a lycanthrope, with the ability to change forms between that of a giant spider, a humanoid and a hybrid form between the two.
