- Anansi is a powerful trickster from the animated series Gargoyles and a Child of Oberon, id est mystical beings that act as deities and mythical spirits in various human cultures. He is largely based on the West African deity of the same name; however, unlike the Anansi of the African folktales, this depiction of the spider god was more openly antagonistic on his first encounter with the Manhattan Clan. Ironically, while the real world deity was worshiped as a god of freedom and a patron for Caribbean slaves, the Gargoyles character would force humans into servitude.
