question!

You do understand that the spiders that do most of the hunting and are the most aggressive and dominant are usually the females right?

How do you reconcile Arak as male then? Shouldn't Arak be a spider queen instead of a king?

I may have made this tl;dr, forgive me;;

There are a few reasons as to why Arak is a dominant male as you have implied, besides the fact that I have made too many submissive characters and felt like making a dominant one

"besides the fact that I have made too many submissive characters and felt like making a dominant one."

If this is your main line of reasoning, why not just make a dominant female?

to add to that

1) Even if the residents here can be mostly human, that doesn't stop a female from being able to be dominant and aggressive. Futhermore, I would like to add that, if spiders (any spiders, spiritual non-Earth archetypal spiders included) were personified and given a culture, it would probably be a matriarchal society.

2) I don't understand what you mean by 'dominant genes'? Are you referring to genes that are dominant instead of recessive or are you talking about genetics giving someone a dominant personality?

3) If the Queen only had one child that was a boy that had to be raised as a king, that I can understand. Fair enough.

4) Just because it's fantasy doesn't mean it can be unrealistic. Usual spider behavior can be used as a sort of motif for how they would behave, and therefore should apply to them. Take a look at the Drow dark
