        Hmmm.  I don't have the Faerun book, but two out of three 
of the Aranea's forms are explicitly humanoid.  True, it's 
"natural" form is that of a spider, but I would say that this 
qualifies as partly humanoid at least as much as a centaur or 
lycanthrope.  From the SRD: 

: An aranea's natural form is that of a Large monstrous spider. It can
: assume two other forms. The first is a Small or Medium-size humanoid 
: (the exact form is fixed at birth). The second form is a Medium-size,
: spider-humanoid hybrid.
