PC Humanoid Insect: Aberration or Humanoid?


Homebrew and House Rules


I am creating a homebrew world including custom races and I have created a humanoid insect player race.

Now, an Ettercap is similar to what I have done and it is an Aberration.

But in some 3rd party stuff where humanoid insects have been included as PCs, they make them "Humanoid (Insect)" or "Humanoid (Aberration)" so that they are not immune to some spells that only work on humanoids.

I'm more interested in if any first party stuff has ever used "Humanoid (Aberrant) or (Insect)" before?

The race I have created has 2 arms, 2 legs, one head and is humanoid in every way, but is evolved from arachnids (the arms and legs are the result of fusing 8 limbs into 4)


Nope. Paizo sticks to the favored enemy list of humanoid subtypes.

You want "monstrous humanoid"

Silver Crusade

Pathfinder has the Thriae in Beastiary 3 that are a race of humanoid female bees. They are classified as monstrous humanoids.


Thank you to both of you.
