During the Harmonic Convergence of 171 AG, the spider spirit was sleeping in its nest inside a tree hollow. The spirit did not take kindly to being woken up by Tenzin, who inquired its assistance. Declaring that humans in the Spirit World belonged in one place only, the creature shot forward toward the airbending master, Kya, and Bumi. As the three ran for their lives, the spirit attempted to trap them with its webbing, though missed and continued to give chase, driving them off a cliff. As its prey was out of reach, it returned to his tree hollow to resume sleeping.
