Same thing. Multiple_* is the more common wording (e.g. multiple_wings, multiple_heads, etc.)

Eyes are a natural pair, as are arms, thus more than the average of the latter becomes extra_arms.

They're not a natural pair when it comes to spider girls like Rachnera_Arachnera, but I see your point. Maybe then we should have multiple_* for when the extra parts are "standard" for the character, and use extra_* when they aren't?
Edit: It seems extra_wings is already aliased to multiple_wings though, so I'm not sure what our stance is on this.
I'm more in support of multiple_eyes -> extra_eyes, too.

Ditto. Multiple eyes are the normal. "Extra" eyes imply otherwise. The "extra" is compared to human normal, not extra for the character. It's what makes the character be identifiable -- just like you still tag a character who normally has a ponytail with ponytail.
Thus, if it weren't possible for an artist to draw her with normal eyes, Rachnera Arachnera would imply extra eyes. She should always be tagged with them if present and visible.
That's a good question on its own: should third eye implicate extra eyes, or should extra eyes require 4+? (My vote is the former.)
Ugh, I forgot about the Komeji sisters. Hmm...
I suggest not creating the implication and putting a note under third eye to the effect that characters with a third eye actually integrated into their head or elsewhere on their body should also be tagged with extra eyes.
peacock_(skullgirls) currently dominates the extra_eyes tag. Is she eligible for the tag? I say no, since they don't seem to be biological.

The red eyes on her arms are what she sees with; those are empty sockets in her head.
Okay, I overreacted. MUH BAD.
I guess Peacock fits well enough. I just don't want extra_eyes to decay into a shitheap like so many other tags, which is why I asked about Peacock's situation.
