Daikumo-no-Kami

The Great Sea Spider was a spider monster that lived in a whirlpool near the southern Crane coast. Courts of Stone, p. 68
== Enmity with the Daidoji ==
At the center of an atoll off the coast of Daidoji lands churned a dark whirlpool. An ancient being rested at its center, deep at the ocean floor, where no light could reach it. This whirlpool was the tunnel web of Daikumo-no-Kami, the Great Sea Spider. This monstrous spider, bound to the atoll by Asahina shugenja, was an ancestral enemy of the Daidoji family. Kumo, the spirits of shape-changing spiders, feed off the negative emotions of living beings. The Great Sea Spider bound itself to the Daidoji family, and the family's feelings of anger and vengeance allowed it to grow to its massive size. The regional colloquial saying “to feed the spider” refered to harboring such a negative emotion and allowing it to build up without productive outlets. Courts of Stone, p. 71
