== Lion Clan and Spiders ==
Many Lion had an aversion to killing spiders. The Lion traditionally believed that if spider was killed, its spirit would follow them home and plague their house with bad luck. After the Great Sea Spider rose and destroyed much of the Crane farmlands during the War Against Shadow, Lion samurai tended to fondly move spiders to safety rather than kill them, and some houses had "lucky spiders" fondly regarded as family pets. Secrets of the Lion, p. 5 The Lion Golden Spider Dojo was named after this belief. Secrets of the Lion, p. 48
