Naraku (奈な落らく, "Hell") was a spider hanyō who was born from the human Onigumo and various other yōkai, and the primary antagonist of the entire InuYasha series.[3][4] He was directly responsible for the death of Kikyō, the seal placed on Inuyasha, and for nearly all the other characters' misery, something that he enjoyed. Naraku desired the Shikon no Tama, a jewel that would be able to grant him near-invincibility should he acquire all the pieces of it. He desired the jewel to purge his half-human self from his body, and enhance his strength even further. Close to the end of the story, Naraku gained all Shikon shards and made the Shikon no Tama whole again which resulted in him fully transforming himself into a spider yōkai shortly before his defeat and death by the hands of Inuyasha, his archenemy, during their final battle.
