Crystal Spiders (also referred to as spider bombs) were mechanical spiders used by the Council of the Crystal King.
History[]
Bad Water![]
A crystal spider was spying the ninja stopping Miss Demeanor's plans to poison the city's water supply with chemicals.
Farewell the Sea[]
At the Ninjago Harbor, a spider secretly scanned the Police Commissioner on one of the containers shortly after the New Ninja stopped a Vengestone smuggling operation.
A Painful Promise[]
The spiders appear before the newly escaped Aspheera to recruit her for the Council of the Crystal King.
Ninjago City vs. Ninja[]
A Crystal Spider traveled to the Kingdom of Shintaro, where Vangelis was imprisoned until the spider arrived. The spider gave him a similar mask that he previously used as the Skull Sorcerer then showed him a projection of the Kabuki Mask.
Kryptarium Prison Blues[]
The spiders infiltrated Kryptarium Prison to free Pythor. After Pythor agreed to join the council, the spiders uses their laser to free him from prison and escape through a hole. During the escape, the Crystal Spiders carried Pythor to a crystal hovercraft as they attacked the ninja to prevent them from interfering. When Jay zapped one of the Crystal Spiders to stop Pythor, the spider rigged itself to explode, giving Pythor enough time to escape.
The Fifth Villain[]
Disguised as the Mechanic, Lloyd was met with a crystal spider and was invited to join the Council of the Crystal King by the Kabuki Mask. After accepting the offer, Lloyd was then told to follow the spider.
The Council of the Crystal King[]
Lloyd continued to follow the crystal spider at the Ninjago Metro until he arrived at a tunnel that would lead him to the Crystal Temple. However, another crystal spider recorded the ninja's fight with the real Mechanic, which was used to expose Lloyd to the Crystal Council.
The Spider's Design[]
A Crystal Spider spying on the ninja
Several Crystal Spiders were stored in one of the Crystal Temple's chambers as Harumi talked to Lloyd. Meanwhile, the Crystal Spider spied on the four ninja when they travel through the N line, in which Harumi triggered the spiders to detonate in an attempt to kill the ninja, though they survived in the BRTM-12.
The Fall of the Monastery[]
Dozens of Crystal Spiders infiltrated the hangar bay in the Monastery of Spinjitzu. They shot down the MiniPix and were set to detonate the entire Monastery after the Crystal Council left with the Golden Weapons, though everyone else were saved just in time.
After the Overlord's defeat[]
After the Overlord was defeated by the Golden Ultra Dragon, the Crystal Island was destroyed, and the Crystal Spiders inside were ultimately destroyed in the process.
