Spider
The source material for the Avatar franchise provides extensive detail on the moon Pandora, its native species, and the plots of the films, but it contains no information about a character named Spider. Consequently, no factual details about his parentage, affiliation, first appearance, or status as a human-Na'vi hybrid can be derived from the text.

Lore & Background
The source describes the Na'vi as a blue, cat-like humanoid and intelligent species native to Pandora. It lists eighteen known clans, including the Omatikaya who live in Hometree (Kelutral) and the Metkayina introduced in Avatar: The Way of Water (2022). While the text describes humanity's exploitation of unobtainium and later the hunting of Tulkun for amrita, it does not mention any specific human-Na'vi hybrid characters.
In Their Own Story
The source recounts the plot of Avatar (2009) where Jake Sully bonds with a Great Leonopteryx to become Toruk Makto after the RDA destroys Hometree. In Avatar: The Way of Water (2022), the story shifts to the oceans, focusing on the Metkayina clan and the Tulkun's production of amrita. Despite these detailed plot summaries, the source makes no mention of Spider, his survival among humans, or any interactions he has with the Sully family.
