Biography
Thousands of years after Makuta's Betrayal, the Lord of Skull Spiders was sent by the evil influence of Makuta to retrieve the Golden Masks of Power. Using the Golden Mask of the Skull Spiders, he commanded the Skull Spiders to attack the villages of Okoto and find the Masks of Power. Whenever the Skull Spiders controlled their hosts, the Lord also controlled the hosts.[3][4][5]
The Lord of Skull Spiders worked in connection with the Skull Army led by Kulta, defending the City of the Mask Makers on behalf of his allies and master. The Lord also had the Skull Scorpios serve him.[6]
After the Toa obtained the Golden Masks of Power and gathered at the bridge to the city, the Lord of Skull Spiders approached them.[7] Several of the Toa attacked on their own, and the Lord of Skull Spiders dispatched them with webs. After the Toa regrouped, the Lord of Skull Spiders was overwhelmed by their combined might, and was thrown from the bridge when Onua destroyed the pillar on which he was standing.[8][3][5]
The Lord of Skull Spiders survived the fall, but got badly hurt. The Skull Spiders found him, covered him in webs, and took him to his lair to help him recover. The Protectors and Harvali entered the lair, and the Lord of Skull Spiders awoke, broke through the webs, and started attacking them by chasing after them and a giant biomechanical snake they were riding. However, when the Lord of Skull Spiders was getting near the snake's tail to trap it, the Protectors managed to bring the cavern ceiling down, crushing the Lord and many Skull Spiders.[4]
Abilities and Traits
The Lord of Skull Spiders had excellent night vision and sharp, venomous fangs. He could use his great strength to squeeze the breath from opponents.[1] He also had an armored exo-skeleton, and could use his legs to defend himself from an attack by a Toa's bladed weapons.[3] He was able to spit webs to entangle his enemies. He was also very fast, as he could chase after a giant biomechanical snake that the Protectors and Harvali were riding.[4]
The Lord of Skull Spiders had established a telepathic link to the Skull Spiders, through which he controlled their actions.[1] When the Skull Spiders controlled their hosts, this allows the Lord to control the hosts as well.[3][4][5]
He preferred to hunt at night.[1] He also had a bad breath, and the Toa could smell it across the distance in the City of the Mask Makers' bridge.[3]
