History[edit | edit source]

The Sea Spider species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis as one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.

These Spiders were the only known natural predator of the Visorak, and for this reason, a large number of the Sea Spiders would often migrate to follow the Visorak as they moved from island to island. During the Visorak occupation of Metru Nui, Rahaga Gaaki released any Spiders she caught so that they would hunt the Visorak.

Abilities and Traits[edit | edit source]

Despite their name, Sea Spiders are actually amphibious Rahi of the sea. While not large enough to pose a threat to a potential prey, the front legs of a Sea Spider are able to inject venom that shrinks a foe down to a more manageable size. Sea Spider spinners can then throw prey into temporary stasis until such time as when the hunter is ready to feed.

Sea Spiders are characteristically solitary hunters and are actually hostile to each members of the species. Over the course of history, much of the Spiders' prey has been spared because two specimens were hunting at the same time. Sea Spiders are almost fearless and never back away from anything. The only thing that makes them uneasy is the natural fear all Rahi have of Krana.
