Crato Spora was an earthbending Swamp Chief of the Foggy Swamp Tribe, serving from 135–137 AG. He succeeded Tuwii and was later succeeded by Lokum.

In 135 AG, he succeeded Tuwii as Swamp Chief. In 137 AG, he claimed the remote island of Seilkuq in the northwest of the known world, which caused diplomatic tension with the Water Tribe. He also entered a military pact with the Sun Empire, drawing criticism from the Earth Kingdom. Later that year, he publicly joked about assassinating other world leaders, leading to his arrest and trial in the Water Tribe. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, and during his imprisonment Lokum Vynal became Swamp Chief.

In 140 AG, Water Chief Kenuk declared that the trial had been biased due to the involvement of Zia Yuka-Fang and ordered Crato Spora’s release from prison.

In 141 AG, Crato Spora, now acting as Zongdu of the Swamp, declared independence for the Foggy Swamp Tribe along with its former overseas provinces Patajara and Moungga from the Earth Kingdom. He was supported by Water Chief Kenuk and Air Elder Palkyi Kirimiko, who accused Earth Queen Déshà of escalating tensions over the island of Renritsu. Déshà Beifong denied the accusations and invited Crato to a formal debate, which he rejected. Avatar Daiyi argued that Crato had not pursued diplomatic solutions before declaring independence, and the movement ultimately collapsed without securing recognition. The rebellion failed, and he was removed from his position.
