Anansi
Anansi is a trickster and the keeper of knowledge and stories. He took the form of a spider and spun giant webs in the forest. There he caught all the stories from every creature's dreams and gossip.
Anansi sometimes kept the stories for himself, but other times he shared the knowledge with the world so they might become wise.
He acted as a go-between for creatures and other gods, and he was the one responsible for tricking the divine into creating night, rain, and other natural phenomena.
However, his aims were never noble.
Anansi entertained himself by tricking humans (and Gods) through complicated pranks. Sometimes he gained nothing from the pranks other than the joy of having made the creature work harder. He had even gone so far as to trick followers into believing he created the world.
Ren quickly threw a series of [Duds] when he noticed that the corpses were marching in his direction again.
