Temponae (From Tempo, Italian for time and Aranea, Latin for spider, but then inversed. Could also relate to aether, in its spacetime split)
Temponae would be a giant spider, locked in an "infinite" chamber in spacetime. It produces many strings which connect all matter, antimatter and dark matter in the universe and without it everything would be separate and in chaos. Its cave would be filled with huge strings of web, but they should quickly become thinner until they're not visible.
Typing: Bug / Psychic
Stats: 100/110/90/130/100/150
Ability: Safety Net (Safety Net prevents Temponae from being knocked out in any way the turn it switches in. Attacks still hit it, but it'll always survive the turn with at least 1 HP damage, so even with status or hazards.)
Move: Temporal String (Bug-type, 85 BP, 10 PP, 100% Accuracy, Lowers Target's Speed by 1, Target: Any One Foe, No Contact, Affected by Protect and Clones, Affected by King's Rock, Not Affected by Snatch, Not Affected by Magic Coat)

These moves are all quite standard. Many STAB moves, and some fitting status moves. I added Ancient Power since many legendaries get it, it lives in a cave and has existed for a long time. Future Sight is the last move since it connects pieces of time too. Not much special to see here. Small movepool since many cover legends have small level up ones, strangely.

I gave it quite some coverage here. Most legendaries go past the limits for coverage, so I gave it most things that I could see a spider do in some way. I notably excluded Fire, Ice and most Rock-type moves, since they are not fitting. I kept Rock Slide though since it lives in a cave and can probably cause it to change, and so cause rocks to come loose. I don't think anything too controversial is here.
HM01: Cut
HM04: Strength
HM06: Rock Smash
Just those that fit it, I gave it Strength since its quite "powerful" unlike the other spiders. Its feet can Cut.

Miscellaneous Information
Appearance: Its body has the shape of a spider, which is a bit orange-y (though the artist may change this if he feels he has a better idea) with black stripes. There may be some rough spikes or irregularities on its skin, but I'll let that be decided by the artist. Its legs are quite large, so that it is quite large if it stands upright. Additionally there are small puffs of whitish hair on its "knees". Its face looks quite vicious and it has two large teeth. Of course its "behind" is quite large and there should be a clear place where the string comes out, probably a large black circle. Sorry if this is vague, but it should be better with an artist who'll be found if this wins. It may even change a bit to what seems good to him.
Location: It lives in a cobweb / string filled spiral cave which is hidden in spacetime.
