Lord of Skull Spiders

The Lord of Skull Spiders was one of Kulta's Skull Creatures and leader of the Skull Spiders, and guardian of the bridge to the City of the Mask Makers.

History
Although it is unknown where the Lord of Skull Spiders came from, it is speculated that he came from another island, possibly with the Skull Raiders when they began to attack Okoto thousands of years ago. He is then said to have gone into hiding when all the Skull Raiders were pushed into the mountains of Okoto.

When Makuta began to enact his revenge, he commanded the Lord of Skull Spiders to retrieve the Golden Masks of Power that had been forged by Ekimu just before the Great Cataclysm. Using the Golden Mask of the Skull Spiders, he commanded the Skull Spiders, a race of beasts on Okoto, to attack villagers in search of them. Around this time too Makuta commanded Skull Grinder to recruit the Lord of Skull Spiders into his Skull Creatures. The beast became the guardian to the City of the Mask Makers once he joined.

One day the legendary Toa were summoned by the Protectors due to the growing attacks by the Skull Spiders. They moved their way through Okoto, fighting off countless of Skull Spiders. After they obtained their Golden Masks, they began to journey to the City of the Mask Makers. Around this time he lost the Golden Mask of the Skull Spiders to the chasm that surrounded the City.

Once the Toa had gathered, the Lord of Skull Spiders appeared to them. Several of the Toa attacked him on their own, all falling to the Lord of Skull Spider's counter-attacks. After the Toa regrouped and attacked as one, they made short work of the beast and sent him over the edge into the chasm below.

After the Toa had disappeared into the City, his Skull Spiders found him, still alive, and the Mask and brought them both to the Lord of Skull Spider's lair to recover. The Protectors and Harvali then entered the lair, and the Lord of Skull Spiders awoke and attacked them. However, the Protectors managed to escape and brought the cavern down, crushing both the Lord of Skull Spiders and many of his minions.

He is presumed deceased.
