Is Grandmother Spider based on Anansi?


Pathfinder Second Edition General Discussion


I think so, as they seem rather similar (both gods of spiders and trickery) and she's chiefly worshipped in the Mwangi Expanse (which is based on Africa). And yes, I know there's a Native American goddess named "Spider Grandmother", but Grandmother Spider seems a lot closer to Anansi in personality/portfolio.


Very likely, she is also known as Nana Anadi which sounds similar enough to me.


2 people marked this as a favorite.

I had almost taken it for granted that she was, tbh.
