It's easy to distinguish a paiga adult from other spiders because of their bodies. There are many gold and yellow spiders, but no others have patterns that display feelings in their abdomens. The paigas are sociable and seek a magis' company from the day they hatch. By the time they reach adulthood, the paigas are so accustomed to humans that they have no desire to live in the wild. The adults are comfortable living in the Keep, accompanying magi wherever they go, happy to use their magic to show the emotions of those around them. They act as mood rings, wrapping their long, thin legs around a finger and showing what the wearer feels. On some occasions, they can even be convinced to change their patterns to the amusement of children. However, the paiga adults are honest creatures, refusing to show a different emotion than the one felt. Because of this, they are trusty beings, the magi knowing a paiga will never lie for its owner.
Many creatures show their emotions, mainly when sad, angry, or happy. The paiga and melcu are no exceptions, but they show their feelings in very different ways. Their behaviors remain the same - considered apathetic by most - with their emotions showing on their bodies. The paiga's emotions show on its abdomen, while the melcu's appear on its shell. Since they are very empathic, they can be trained to display on their bodies what others feel. Happily attaching themselves to their magi, the paiga and melcu show not only their owner's feelings but also the ones of those around them. With a robust body and sturdy legs, the paiga will hold around one's finger and act much like a mood ring. The melcu, on the other hand, will curl up in its shell and stick on clothes like a badge of sorts, poking out its eyes only to see the reactions of those around it when it displays the true feelings of others. Children, of course, are excited about these creatures and their ability to change the shapes on their bodies. However, they are more prized by adults as the paiga and melcu are some of the few creatures that can sense and show the true feelings of people.
