No, that's too humanoid. Essentially a spider with the mass of a human and graspers. But few people seem to want to draw a more normal spider as opposed to a half humanoid one.

Finding a good picture has been difficult but I'll keep trying. If you decide non sapient, then I would hope it would cost less Power so I could do some other stuff too.
If we're going with the cliche of only humanoids are sapient, that is pretty boring in my opinion. We already have lame gnomes and humans.
Humanoid bias!
The God of Destruction is likely capable of destroying any of the current races at the moment.
Based on what logic?
I wrote it in the post. It's east of the Gnomes.
The great pine forest.
Eeeeventtualllyyyyy.
HUM, Handler of Souls, God of Life and Death
Father of Shadows
HUM finally emerged from Sanctuary once he felt his power had grown substantially, leading him to the first Gnome to reach the end of its life upon the Natural World. A small, unusual creature it was, very similar to Humans. Boringly similar. HUM embraced its distraught soul in his shadowy arms and sent it off to Sanctuary, before soaring above the grasslands of the Gnomes. To the east, HUM's attention was drawn to a heavy pine forest, and into it he set off.
Flying between the trees, and at times through them, HUM casually meandered about until he came to rest on a branch. The embodied shadow looked around before its eyes settled upon a spectacularly beautiful work of nature, a spiderweb. He gazed upon it admirably as he watched a fly become trapped in it, the web's owner quickly setting to work wrapping its prey up. HUM lifted this skilled predator up into the sky in his palm, bringing it closer to his face. Despite HUM's size, the spider reared up at the God's face, ready to fight to the death.
HUM laughed deeply, his voice resounding through the forest as he returned to spider to its place, declaring so loudly that the trees themselves shook, "Truly, this one is more worthy to become a great Race than the pitiful Gnomes and squishy Humans." And so HUM set to work, analyzing the spider's body, replicating it, morphing it. To it he gave proper lungs so it could breath more effectively. Its pedipalps, he turned into limbs with graspers capable of careful work, much like the humans. Its size, HUM increased to that of a human, at least equivalent in terms of mass. To ease feeding the population of spiders, he gave to them an omnivorous digestive tract. To allow them to work together, HUM twisted their minds towards socializing with one another in communal groups. And finally, HUM gave to them his own Blessing in hopes that they would become one of the most physically capable species upon the planet.
Thus, the Arachnids would be born, children of the shadows.
