He's not a Spider, but he is a Centitaur AKA a Centipede 'Centaur' of sorts.

Living through two years of abusive owners, cruel masters and otherwise evil men who would rip off his legs. Caohm has grown to be quite the specimen and has developed what appears to be many new features to his body. Living a life of peace now, he has been freed from those slavery bonds of the past. This freedom allowed for him to grow and develop into a beautiful specimen.

With his age, it seems that his antenna have grown in length. These long appendages on his head, combined with his human ears allow for him to have the most superb sense of touch and hearing around. Due to being blind in his humanoid eyes, and his smaller, insect eyes being completely useless Caohm has had to develop his other senses to greater heights. Tough, smell, taste and hearing are all above normal for him.

Caohm's body has also developed some rather interesting features, he has grown into a set of 'pseudo' or 'fake' legs. These large, boney appendages are generally placed on each side of a segment of his body. They are sharp, and actually very dangerous should he act aggressively. His legs are fragile due to the many years of abuse he faced and as such, these large spikes help him to push around and move when several of his brittle and fragile legs break. Caohm has a very serpent like mouth structure, in which his bottom jaw is split in two, this allows for him to swallow large prey if he desires but many times he chews his victims (Meals) with his teeth and the large mandibles that are hidden inside of his human mouth. The mouth itself is very large, shown by the longer lip line of his mouth, this helps him to hide the mandibles and also allows for a greater stretch when he opens his mouth to eat.

Despite all of the abuse he has suffered, Caohm is naturally not aggressive. Unlike others of his species, he will not show signs of aggression nor will he attack anything. His acts of aggression in the past were what got his legs to be so brittle in the first place.

Sexy bug is sexy... what more can I say? I really do blame Sheba For bringing this boy back out from me. I adore her bugs and her more recent fella Gyaraku put me in the mood to redraw Caohm. He is naturally very curvy and bendy. So I always try to give that feel in his pictures.

I decided to play around with his design a bit, incorporating some personal touches to make him more original. He is based off the Indian Tiger Centipede, with a hint of Giant Tiger Leg Centipede in him. And them some personal traits brought in for myself as well.

Caohm is venomous, and his venom is highly toxic. You do not want to get bitten by him <<
