History: The Jigumo is a clan that is native to the lands of Otogakure. Ancient in blood and lore, they have no real definite history. However, the most prominent story heard about the clan (which they fully believe) is able how they gained their unique characteristics. According to the old tale, it was many centuries ago. The clan was still young and were full of hot-blooded men and women. They say that back then, the clan worshipped a very powerful creature. A tsuchigumo named Raesatsu who practiced powerful magic to trap its prey and to ward off enemies. The clan saw it as a deity and, thus, left offering for it despite the danger it posed to them. One day, the clan came to Raesatsu's cave to bring food for it. However, they found the creature cornered and injured by a group of warriors. Without being commanded to do so, the Jigumo rose up and fought the warriors, driving them off. They then bowed before the mighty yokai, showing deep respect. Raesatsu, grateful to these humans who willing serve him, blessed them with its magic. He granted them six arms, which gave them eight limbs in-total, and the ability to produce webs. He made them his people. Ever since then, the Jigumo have shown deep respect to the creature. They paint about it and its supposed "deeds" it has done for the clan. In present times, they no longer worship it, but still celebrate its name every November 3rd (the supposed day it granted its blessing).
