I didn't find any proof that Arachne or either Bakasura are gods, but i hope that Hi Rez has their facts. I'm sure they search every fact before adding characters to game.

They wouldn't have to add a whole bunch of new beasts. Heck, it'd probably be better for them as it would give them more variety to work with.

Also, OP is right, Arachne and Bakasura are beasts/ non-deity mythological figures, not gods.

I have no idea why Bakasura are in the game, one can't solely know everything :D
I do however know that Arachne is the goddess of spiders, it's told that she was the worlds first spider.

Arachne is a goddess? I didn't find it anywhere, i know that Athena turned Arachne into a spider, in two diferent versions, one by envy, and other Athena find her death, and ressurect her as a spider, she was a weaver, that's why spiders can shoot webs.
Arachne is neither god or demigod, she is only a transformation, a "curse" from a goddess, indeed she is the world first spider.

This is correct. Arachne challenged Athena (the Goddess of weaving and many other things) to a weaving competition and when Athena went to humble her, Arachne created a flawless blanket that recorded all of the indecencies and lewd behaviors of the Greek Gods. Athena became angry that she couldn't properly humble her and in return made her a weaver for the rest of her days, i.e. the first spider. From my readings there is no indication that Arachne became a Goddess. It wouldn't make sense for her to since it was a form of punishment.

I feel as though Cerberus could definitely be added to the game. He is the only 3-headed dog in Greek myth as far as I know and he could make for a badass character.

Also, Sun Wukong was not a God, he was a demon.

What bbenoid. He's not a god, just a mythical beast, an offspring of Echidna, a hybrid half-woman and half-serpent, and Typhon, a gigantic monster even the Greek gods feared. Its siblings were the Lernaean Hydra, a serpant woman; Orthus, a two-headed hellhound; and the Chimaera, a three-headed monster. It would just be wrong by them to add Cerberus into the game as they then would have to add a wide variety of other mythical beasts.

You guys must've forgot that they said that not only gods would be in the game now and On another note, cerberus is a guardian of the river styx, the river that passes through the tartarus relm.

Must have missed out on that, then I guess we'll probably be seeing him in the game at some point.

Here are some sites who states that she's a goddess, although it doesn't include that the fact is true, it's still nothing that says it isin't.
Arachne - Goddess of Weaving, Mistress of Labyrinths
Arachne, The Greek Goddess Who Became the First Spider

She's informally known as the goddess of spiders. I doubt anyone would actually worship her.

The second link doesnt explain how she is a goddess, the first one says that athena allows her to be goddess of weaving...i dont remember exemples of mortals turning to gods like that, not even demigods...

Does it really matter? Honestly, I dont even think they would add It to the game because we already have a dog, and that's fenrir. But on another note, I would want to be in Greece before Arachne was made because I flooping hate spiders.
