[@Akayaofthemoon] Yeah, that's always a possibility.  My inspiration for it came from how spiders have such large, surprised eyes like I want Spinel to have, only less round.

[@Loony] That's pretty hilarious.  I'm aware of the arachnids liking shadows thing but to be honest I'm not sure how I'd react if I saw a large spider or camel spider getting too close to me, in my experience some creepy-crawlies get [i]too[/i] affectionate with me and get mad when I try to shake them off, I'd hate to experience that with something terribly large.  

Also who are Idocrase and Kornerupine they sound great!
