Monster Girl Hunter - Athal-Ka

Ahtal-Ka is a large insect-like monster. It somewhat resembles a devil's flower mantis in appearance and the color scheme is similar to that of a classical Egyptian Pharaoh. It looks like an insectoid sphinx. The majority of the body is golden. It has six limbs, each of which are yellow with a set of purple triangles beneath them. All six are legs, four of which are for walking and two of which are raptorial; at the end of the main legs are small tarsi/feet while the forelegs have elaborate wing like extensions at the base and have a pair of large hooks at the ends. The Ahtal-Ka has a large headpiece that has alternating gold and blue lines like those on a Pharaoh's crown. It has a pair of purple eyes, each with a minuscule black pupil (much like a mantis).

Its "walking fortress'", the Ahtal-Neset, is a towering war machine crudely assembled from scrap metal, debris from ruins, and the Ahtal-Ka's own silk. It is quadrupedal in structure, with a "head" vaguely reminiscent of a wyvern's and a tail tipped with metal spikes. The Ahtal-Ka's silk is visible through gaps in the joints and armor plating, and allows the Ahtal-Ka to control the movement of its creation like a marionette. While controlling Ahtal-Neset, the Ahtal-Ka itself is covered in a silken cocoon hidden in the "chest" of the machine.

Ahtal-Ka compensates its lack of physical strength with cunning, using the golden silk it produces to bind to its back some steel beams it throws at enemies. Even without them, it is a dangerous opponent which attacks with its sharp claws and produces a pheromone that reduces the hunters' defense.

When cornered, it uses the silk to pull out of the ground the massive Ahtal-Neset, inside which it hides and controls like a puppet to crush foes. In this state, it takes advantage of the physical strength of its creation, stomping its legs on the ground to generate quakes that send hunters flying or shooting silk from the cocoon in the center of the machine to immobilize them.

Once it suffers enough damage, Ahtal-Neset disassembles and the monster returns to fight normally. This time, however, it binds a Dragonator to its back, hurling it at enemies like a spear. Additonally, using the golden silk, it can lift in the air up to three Dragonators and throw them at hunters.

When enough damage has been dealt to it, Ahtal-Ka digs at the center of the area and pulls out Ahtal-Neset once again. This time, however, it can attack hunters on its back directly, using the machine's "tail" to throw them off or expelling the pheromone from the small cocoon.

Once Ahtal-Neset is finally destroyed, Ahtal-Ka emerges from it, having binded to its back the last piece remaining of its creation: a massive wheel, which previously kept stuck in the machine's back. In this final phase, it sprinkles the whole area with silk (which can trap hunters whos step on it) and fights mainly with the wheel, using it to move quickly and swinging it around. In addition to this, it can pull out of the ground three Dragonators and spinning them around itself, dealing massive damage to hunters..
