This figure once pretended to have an argument with his wife over how strong a python was in order to capture that python by tying him to a pole; and after also capturing a leopard in a pit trap and some hornets in a gourd, this son of Asase Ya gave those creatures to the sky god Nyame in exchange for ownership of all the stories in the world.

Another story tells how this figure attempted to hoard all the wisdom of mankind in a gourd, but this was foiled by a turtle, whom this figure had angered by refusing to share a meal. Another storty tells how this figure was beaten by a mob after getting stuck following his encounter with the wax girl. For ten points, name this West African trickster god, whose name means "spider".
