Mantid was assumed by his Invectid followers for years to be the ultimate in Invectid evolution, in reality Mantid actually wore a covering of high fidelity mechanics, which encased the body of a human.

Before becoming leader of the Invectids, Mantid was a Spider Rider. Sometime before Hunter Steele entered the Inner World Mantid switched sides and became the Invectid leader by fooling the Invectids into thinking he was one of them. For years he needed the Oracle Keys to sustain himself for some reason or else his body would turn pale and he would grow weak. (more...)

Prince Lumen has a good head on his shoulders and often uses common sense to reason through whatever Hunter Steele or the other Spider Riders have to say. He's careful to think things through because he has no wish to hurt innocent bystanders. Lumen would much rather settle disputes through negotiation than fighting and war. Lumen can appear quite lazy at times and flirtatious with any pretty girl that crosses his path. His devotion and love is showered upon his younger sister--which often leads him to steal credit from Hunter whenever the new Spider Rider wins a victory or gives her a gift. (more...)

Grasshop was member of the Big Four before he was "fired" do to his many mistakes in attempting to capture the Oracle Keys. Grasshop had (unfortunately for him) seen little success in his career as a member of the Big Four, and even less in his battles against the Spider Riders. Grasshop was often been looked upon with disdain and disappointment by the other members of the Big Four. He cares dearly for his wife, Weeval and his children. According Grasshop's wife, Weeval, his promotion to the Big Four was a mistake as he is gentle and loves children. This might explain why he gets along so well with Sparkle, allowing her to call him "Uncle Hop". It may also explain why he is so reluctant to actually fight in general. (more...)

Lastly, when asked what changed Hunter's mind about the flowers, he became a bit embarrassed as it was Corona's image that changed his mind. Also, since Corona was the first person to discover Hunter, he has known her the longest besides Shadow. (more...)
