Sphinx

**Sphinx** is an Earth Creature that can delay summons and conjure obstacles.

## How to Get

Sphinx can be found and caught in Free Battles by Iruse. She appears on the 'Floating Island' stage.

## Description

A sacred beast that protects a desert country. She has the face of a woman, the body of a lion, and the wings of an eagle. She also serves as a guardian of the graveyard, seeing off souls of the dead so they do not become lost. She believes herself to be good at riddles, but once she jumped into the ocean because she was so embarrassed at her riddle being solved.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

The Sphinx is a creature from both Greek and Egyptian mythology, known as a lion-like monster with large wings and a human head. In Greek myth there is only one sphinx, a dangerous creature that was sent by one of the gods from Aethiopia to block the path to Thebes and devour anyone who could not answer her riddles. One ending of the tale is that when Oedipus solved her riddle, she threw herself from her perch and died out of shame; Moekuri changes this to her surviving the incident.

In Egypt many spinixes were constructed, often with the heads in the likeness of pharaohs to display a connection between them and the lion goddess Sekhmet. These statues are meant to ward off evil and guard the area they are built in.
Kamaitachi

**Kamaitachi** is a Wind Creature. She has many close range attacks and healing abilities. She is one of Liia's summons.

## How to get

Kamaitachi can be obtained by beating Stage 24. She can also be found in Free Battle at 'Liday Forest'.

## Description

A weasel youkai that hides within a whirlwind. She approaches her target by wrapping her body in a ninja outfit and erasing her presence. She is extremely fast and can pass someone without being noticed and cut them with a blade of wind. There are various types of special wind, and it is said that wounds that are not painful or do not bleed are quickly healed because she secretly applied medicine to them.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Kamaitachi are youkai in Japanese mythology known for moving extremely quickly and slashing mountain travelers, often in groups of three. One would knock down the traveler, one would cut them, and the third would apply medicine to make it painless and bloodless. They move with the wind, invisible, with claws as sharp as steel. This was to explain the sharp pain mountain winds cause when one walks there. Exactly why they make the cuts depends on the story; it could be a competition among their kind, or perhaps they feed on the blood spilled.

Kamaitachi in Moekuri has a sharp blades instead of claws attached to her body, and a ninja-like outfit to match the weapons. It translates the special bloodless cuts to a sort of ninja professionalism, and invisiblity to using ninja techniques to hide her presence.

## Abilities

* *Ignore ZOC:* Kamaitachi ignores ZOC when moving.
* *Raging Speed:* Kamaitachi gains an extra move action on dealing damage with a skill.
* *Kamaitachi:* Characters Kamaitachi passes by while moving have their current HP reduced by 10%.
USA Network

The **USA Network** is a basic cable television channel in, as its name suggests, the United States of America. Launched in 1977 as the **Madison Square Garden Network** as one of the first national sports cable channels, its 1980 relaunch under its current name brought with it the children's programme *Calliope*.

## Calliope

*Calliope* was a children's programme that aired on the USA Network from 1980 to 1993. Referred to as a "children's film festival" in promotional material, the series aired various live-action and cartoon short films and series imported from across Europe, Japan, Canada and the United States.

The Henry's Cat cartoon was one of these series to be aired as part of *Calliope*, although it is unknown exactly when the network started airing the series, nor when it took the series off of the programme, although it is most likely that *Henry's Cat* was taken off of *Calliope* when it began broadcasting on either HBO with the US dub, or Showtime with the original episodes. It was prominent in promotional material for *Calliope*, with footage from *Henry's Cat* episodes appearing in several of its promos.
The series was aired in its original form on *Calliope*, with Bob Godfrey as the narrator.

## Trivia

* Henry's Cat was rumoured to have aired as part of *Pinwheel*, which was the first programme to be aired on and produced by *Nickelodeon*, and contained various short films and cartoons imported from around the world similarly to *Calliope*. This is not verifiably true, as *Pinwheel* ended production in 1984, only one year after *Henry's Cat* premiered on the BBC, and the same year as series 2 began airing. It is most likely that the rumour came from people confusing *Pinwheel* with *Calliope*.

Amphitrite

Amphitrite is a Water Creature. She is one of the Creatures used by Univa.

## How to get

The player may get Amphitrite after completing Stage 11. She can also be found in Free Battle and caught at 'Floating Island' and 'Before the Kether Temple'.

## Description

The gentle queen who governs the inland seas. She is a nymph that is descended from the gods and is a consort of Poseidon. She is the goddess the calms the turbulent waves and strong winds on the ocean. She is known for her love of animals, and dolphins are sacred to her because they are cute creatures that can sing and dance. She receieved the tiara that she wears on her head from Aphrodite.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Amphitrite is, as the description says, one of Poseidon's consorts, and queen of the sea, responsible for the creation of several sea animals and monsters. Her connection to dolphins is that one convinced her to accept Poseidon's offer of marriage after she fled from him, and the dolphin was rewarded for this with the constellation Delphinus.

## Abilities

* *Awareness:* Amphitrite will not hit allies with her skills if they are in range of them.
Ukobach

**Ukobach** is a Fire Creature. She excels in fire attacks and can power up other fire Creatures. She is one of the Creatures summoned by Haruka.

## How to Get

Ukobach can be earned by beating Stage 13. She can also be found in Free Battle and caught at 'Souple Hill', 'Liday Forest', and 'Floating Island'.

## Description

The guardian of the kettle who manages the flames of hell. A lower ranked demon that appears engulfed in fire. She never lets the oil pot she uses for her job leave her possession. Under the orders of a great demon, she ensures that the flames of hell never die out by pouring oil on them. She is an expert in handling fire and is talented enough to have invented fried foods and fireworks.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Ukobach is described in the Dictionnaire infernal as 'a demon of an inferior order', describing as having a red or flaming body, large eyes and ears, and often carrying a pan full of coals or a hot poker. He was sometimes credited with inventing fireworks and fried foods, and was ordered by Beelzebub to keep Hell's boilers active.

Moekuri more or less keeps all of this, though it being a kettle is a odd distinction, perhaps to seperate her from the coils and boiler of the original concept while still maintaining the idea. It also fits with one of her skills, which lets her increase the power of other fire Creatures.

## Abilities

* *Crit Rate Up 2:* Ukobach has 20% more Crit rate.
* *Damage To Attack:* When Ukobach deals damage with a skill, her Attack raises by 5%.
Snow Child

**Snow Child** is an Ice Creature. Her unique Fake Tears skill is useful for catching new Creatures.

## How to Get

Snow Child can be found in Free Battle and caught at 'Souple Hill', 'Liday Forest', and 'Floating Island'.

## Description

A snow spirit that arrives with the cold. It is believed that a certain old couple made a doll out of snow that was then given life by a god. Her main features are her young appearance and large three-cornered hat. It is said that she carries snow to various places and that the days she runs around a lot will have a blizzard. Those who earn her friendship are given the power to escape from disasters in the snow.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Snow Child is a youkai from Japanese mythology called the Yukinko(literally 'Snow Child'). It sometimes appears along with the Yuki-Onna as a baby she is holding- in some cases it is a simple trap where she tricks someone into holding the baby and it becomes heavier and heavier until they cannot move and will freeze to death. However, in other stories it seems to genuinely be her child, as she is shown to care for it.

However, Moekuri's description seems to actually point to a different legend- the 'Yuki Warashi', which also means 'Snow Child', hence the confusion. Yuki Warashi's story matches Moekuri's description, of an old couple who shaped a child out of snow and it came to life once they went inside due to a blizzard. They were happy and took care of their new child, those as the seasons changed, he vanished once winter ended, only to appear once again next winter.

## Abilities

* Reflex[Attack D]: When Snow Child takes damage from an enemy skill, their Attack goes down by 5%.
* Freeze Immune: Snow Child is immune to the Frozen debuff.
Golem

**Golem** is a Neutral Familiar summoned by several Earth Creatures. They have no abilities or skills, but they do have voice lines. They generally serve the same purpose as Decoys. Notably, the summon description refers to them as 'obstacles' instead of Familiars, pointing out their inanimate nature.

## Description

A mud doll made from alchemy. Without souls, they simply carry out orders of the master who created them. They are created through a form of linguistic alchemy, a forbidden art that works by reproducing the work of the gods. As such, characters that spell out the word "Emeth", meaning truth, are always found carved somewhere in their bodies.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Golems are an artifically made creature made from inanimate matter, usually mud or clay, usually into a humanoid shape. Jewish folklore states that Adam, the first man, was made from mud and was functionally a golem, but God breathed true life into him. While human-made golems are described, they are not fully human like Adam and always had some sort of flaw, such as being unable to speak, and they generally only have the capacity to fulfill a task they are assigned, being unable to do anything else without human instruction. This is likely why the game's golems cannot act on their own.

The Golems of Moekuri can speak, though they do so in an emotionless, robotic manner. They also seem to be somewhat unfinished, being melted at the knees. Their profile picture shows they have legs, but the puddle under them is always there, implying either they are slowly melting or that they form from the puddle somehow and cannot take an entirely human shape.

As the descripton says, the word 'Emeth' is supposedly required for the golem to activate, and it does mean 'truth' in Hebrew. If the word is wiped off, the golem is said to instantly become inert.

## Skills

Normally Golems lack any skills, but under the effects of Pygmalion's Puppet Master ability, they can move and act using the same active skills as her(minus Summon Doll).
The Cat's Eye Kid

**Episode title** is the Nth episode in the series.

Fan

**Fan** is the Head Miko over Susu, Bell, and Yona, and manages the Floating Island.

## Unlock

Bell is unlocked by beating Versus Master mode, a bonus challenge after beating the game.

## Ability

Fan's ability is *Balance Keeper*. This keeps element levels at zero, and removes all elemental weaknesses or resistances from the battle for her summons and her enemy.

## Summons

### Stage 21

* Minotaur
* Valkyrie
* Medjed
* Vaisravana
* Artemis
* Satori
Caim

Caim is a Wind Creature with many attacks that change the enemy's position. She is also used by Elisha.

## How to get

The player may get Caim after completing Stage 6. She can be found in Free Battle at 'Liday Forest' and 'Floating Island'.

## Description

One of the 72 demons and a President of Hell. A diligent warrior who lives a life focused on swordsmanship. Her spirit aspect is strong but she is a demon that is not so demon-like. Her demonic power is to turn the sounds of animals and nature, such as water, into words to tell the summoner. She will become your debate partner if you wish, and will give sincere answers to any questions you ask her.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Caim is one of the 72 demons described in the Ars Goetia, and all of Moekuri's description seems to be tied to that, where he is indeed called one of the presidents of Hell, and could be summoned to give understanding of animals and nature or answer questions in general. Caim is often described as taking the form of a bird or having bird-like features, which translates in Moekuri as having wings.

While there is little mention of swordsmanship, he is described has carrying a rapier with him when summoned.

## Abilities

* *Flying:* Caim always has the Flying buff.
* *Shock Immune:* Caim is immune to the Shocked debuff.
* *Wind Stability:* Wind skills aren't affected by elemental weakness or resistance while Caim is summoned.
Tengu

**Tengu** is a Wind Creature with many elemental powers and very high range. She is one of the Creatures summoned by Haruka.

## How to Get

Tengu can be earned by beating Stage 13. She can be captured in Free Battle at 'Souple Hill', 'Floating Island', and 'Before the Kether Temple'.

## Description

A mountain-dwelling wind youkai that stands at the apex of youkai. As a god that protects mountains, she flies through the sky creating wind with her fan made of feathers. Dressed as a mountain priest, she trains every day in order to fulfill her dream of becoming a Daitengu with the other Crow Tengu. The divine power that she gains from her training gives her the ability to use various special techniques.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Tengu in Japanese mythology are sometimes considered youkai or deities, and Moekuri's description is fairly accurate to these stories. Sometimes they are portrayed as villainous, however, and were sometimes said to be the spirits of fallen priests. But they were also said to be protective forces in other stories, and their exact nature and intent changes from one story to another.

## Abilties

* *Range Up 1:* Tengu's skills with 2 or more range have +1 range.
* *Flying:* Tengu always has the Flying buff.
* *Lock Immune:* Tengu is immune to the Immobilized and Silenced debuffs.
Hel

**Hel** is a Dark Creature that specializes in buffing Undead Familiars.

## How to Get

Hel can be found in the 'Before the Kether Temple' level in Free Battle mode, though her encounter has a lower chance of appearing than the others.

## Description

A goddess of the underworld that rules the land of the dead. A child of Loki who was prophesized to bring disaster to the land of the gods. She was born with half her body being the skin of the living and the other half the color of the dead. She was given the responsibility of managing the dead and ruling the land of the dead by Odin, and she manages those who die outside of battle. All of the tools she uses have names.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Hel is a goddess in Norse mythology, and Moekuri's description is very accurate to it. Hel is described as being a goddess who maintains a realm of the dead named after herself, appointed to the position by Odin, with half her body appearing to be dead. Her bringing disaster to the gods is more vauge, but the tale of Ragnorok does state that 'all of Hel's people' will rise up to aid Loki then.

## Skills

* Smack: Neutral Physical attack with 45 power. Costs 1 SP.
* Dark Wave: Dark Magical attack with 60 power. Costs 2 SP.
* Summon Wright: Summons a Wight Familiar at her level. Identical to the Necromancer skill aside from reduced range. Costs 6 SP.
* Fumes: Inflicts Poison on a target. Costs 5 SP.
* Black Fog: Inflicts Blind on a target. Costs 5 SP.
* Obsidian Wave: Dark Magical attack with 60 power a Crit Rate of 5%. Costs 3 SP.

## Abilities

* *Undead Boost:* When Hel is on the field, the player's Undead Familiar's Attack/Defense/Magic are increased by 25%.
Amy

Amy is a Fire Creature specializing in magical attacks.

## How to Get

Amy can be found in Free Battle and caught at 'Liday Forest' and 'Before the Kether Temple'.

## Description

One of the 72 demons and a President of Hell, a noble who rules over the flames and a portion of the fallen angels. When she shows herself she likes to appear magically shrouded in explosive flames. It is believed that she will grant the desires of humans in exchange for their souls. She is talented in the scholarly fields of astronomy and liberal arts. She can see far away or into the future by looking into fire.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Amy is described in the Ars Goetia as a President of Hell who takes the form of a pillar of flame when summoned. He ruled over 36 legions of demons and could teach the summoner about astronomy, liberal arts, and how to conjure familiars and garner favor from rulers.

## Abilities

* *AoE Up*: Amy's skills with 2 or more AoE gain +1 AoE.
* *Burn Immune*: Amy is immune to the Burn debuff.
Falim

**Falim** is a maid who serves under Princess Univa, and is her lifelong friend. Polite but blunt, she has no qualms about speaking her mind.

## Unlock

Falim is unlocked by defeating four different types of Undead Familiars. As such, she is likely to be unlocked before the main game is completed, though there is a degree of luck depending on what is summoned and which creatures you face in Free Battles.

## Class

Falim in story mode is a Necromancer; this is also the only class she can have when playable.

## Ability

Falim's ability is *Sacrifice Summon*: This replaces the normal method of summoning used by characters. Rather than placing a creature's gem normally, she can choose to sacrifice a existing creature to reduce the amount of turns needed for the new creature to be summoned. The sacrifice itself can be anywhere on the map, but the summon itself will be within a range of 4.(twice that of normal summons)

Rather than appearing as a gem, the summon instead emerges from a cross with a spirit floating around it, presumably indicating a tombstone.

## Summons

Falim only fights once in the story, supporting Elisa, so she does not summon many Creatures. There is no particular connection between the two, but Eurynome is a necromancer like Falim, and Argos matches her maid aesthetic and works well with her unique summon type.

### Stage 10

* Eurynome
* Argos
Byakko

**Byakko** is a Thunder Creature and one of the Five Gods. She is one of Touka's summons.

## How to get

Byakko can be earned by completing Stage 20. She can also be found in Free Battles at 'Souple Hill' and 'Liday Forest'.

## Description

A sacred beast that is the personification of the moon goddess. As her name suggests, she takes the form of a white tiger. With divine power, her tail is a thunder whip that can turn into lightning to strike evil spirits. She is one of the Five Gods of the Taoist elemental system, and she guards the west and governs autumn.

She values righteousness and is a personification of justice, protecting her friends and acting as a mediator. Accompanied by a hundred beasts, she serves as a mountain sage. She likes spending time with the other Five Gods.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Byakko is one of the Chinese Four Symbols, guardian of the west, and is associated with the element of metal.

## Abilities

* *Metal to Water:* Summon time and cost are reduced by 2 for Water Creatures when Byakko is on the field.
* *Thunder Defense:* Thunder Creatures take 30% less damage from their weaknesses when Byakko is on the field.
Fortuna

**Fortuna** is a Light Creature. She can grant a unique ability to her allies.

## How to Get

Fortuna can be found in Free Battle and caught at 'Before the Kether Temple'.

## Description

The goddess who control the tides of fate. She controls people's fates, and mainly guides them in a direction of a better fortune. She can predict the fate of someone byturning the wheel that she carries in her hands. She is a goddess of good harvest like the flower goddess Flora, and she uses a horn from the same goat as Aegis as proof of a good harvest. Gamblers worship her as a guardian of gambling.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Fortuna is the Roman goddess of fortune, and the personification of luck, also called a goddess of fate. She was often depicted as blindfolded, representing the idea that 'luck is blind'. She is also often shown with a ship's rudder, a ball, a wheel or fortune, or a cornocopia, the latter two of which are presented in Moekuri in her picture and description respectively. She also wears a laurel wreath in this game, representing her Roman roots.

## Abilities

* SP Restore 2: Restores 2 SP on turn start.
* Fortune: Fortuna can grant others this ability through her skill. While Fortuna is summoned and this ability is granted, all positive effects with 99% accuracy or less have 100% accuracy, and all detrimental effects to this Creature with less than 100% are reduced to 0%.
Onyankopon

**Onyankopon** is a Neutral Creature with many varied abilities.

## How to Get

Onyankopon can be found in Free Battle and caught at 'Souple Hill' and 'Floating Island'.

## Description

The kind-hearted God of the Sky that breathed life into 12 humans and 24 animals. Although she used to live with humanity, their actions, such as hitting her with things or tearing the clouds, caused her to move beyond the sky. Even so, it is believed that she has continued to interact with humans using the spirits she commands, bestowing upon them rivers, seas, and other things.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Onyankopon is a deity of Akom myth, known by many names that speak to the many things he had made as a creator deity. He once lived with humanity, but decided to leave to the heavens because of one old woman who kept hitting him with her pestle as she pounded yams. Despite this distance, Onyankopon is said to communicate and bestow new creations to the world through various spirits as intermediaries.

The Moekuri version of the deity seems to have cat-like features simply because 'nyan' is part of her name, a Japanese onomatopoeia of the sound a cat makes. Her many skills do relate to her creator status; speeding up summons and creating objects.

## Ability

*Spirit's Gift:* When Onyankopon's Master summons a Creature, it's Summon Cost is reduced by one.
Skeipnir

**Skeipnir** is a Water Creature. She has few skills but excels in supporting her Master. She is one of the Creatures summoned by Bell.

## How to get

Skeipnir can be earned by beating Stage 16. She cannot be found in Free Battles so the only other way to get her is through Contract Gems.

## Description

A mythical beast that races through the battlefield together with the gods. She is a servant of Odin and is descended from Loki. She is so fast she can fly beyond the horizon in an instant, and she can fly from the world of the heavens down to the depths of hell without resting. The divine protection she provides brings out the power of a warrior. She is friends with the watchdog of Hell and can pass through the gate without permission.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Skeipnir in Norse mythology is the 8-legged horse rode by Odin and was birthed by Loki. It was described as 'the best of horses' and was written by Odin to visit the realm of Hel. This is likely why Moekuri says she is friends with Cerberus and is allowed in. While Skeipnir appears human in this game, the eight legs are still referenced in her having eight wings. Her being her owner's steed is also referenced in her Auto-Follow and Master Boost ability, meaning she is always at her Master's side, and the Master gains movement from riding Skeipnir.

## Abilities

* *Auto-Follow:* Skeipnir cannot move, but will always teleport next to her Master when they move.
* *Flying:* Skeipnir always has the Flying buff.
* *Master Boost 1:* Skeipnir's Master gains a 30% boost to Attack/Defense/Magic and +1 to Move when she is summoned
* *Divine Wings:* Skeipnir's Master has the flying buff as long as she is on the field.
Neberius

**Neberius** is a Dark Creature that can summon many Familiars. She is one of the Creatures summoned by Univa.

## How to get

The player may get Neberius after completing Stage 11. She can be found Free Battles at 'Suple Hill', 'Liday Forest', and 'Floating Island'.

## Description

A demon supervisor who is accompanied by the spirits of the dead. She belongs to the highest ranks of the 72 Demons. She is also known as a devil and is the strongest necromancer in Hell. She excels in necromancy and spiritualism, and she has knowledge of plants, animals and minerals.

Her job is to supervise demons and ensure they are doing their jobs, and she can find those who run away, even if they hide, using a magic tool called the 'Hand of Glory'.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Naberius is one of the 72 demons described in the Ars Goetia, described as having three dog-like heads and raven feathers, said to be a marquis of Hell. He is said to be to be knowledgable in many subjects, but especually rhetoric.

The demon is conflated in the Ars Goetia with Cerberus, the three-headed hound of Hades that guards the gates of the underworld and prevents the dead from escaping.

Moekuri's Neberius draws from both, being a high ranked knowledgable demon that prevents lesser demons from escaping their duties. The 'Hand of Glory' she is described having is a magical tool made from the severed hand of a hanged man, said to be able to put others into a charmed sleep, among other things.

## Abilities

* *Hand of Glory:* If the target is asleep, inflict 'Deep Sleep'. If they are not asleep, make them immune to Sleep. Has one use and an AoE of 3.
* *Flying:* Neberius always has the Flying buff.
* *Para. Immune:* Neberius is immune to the Paralysis debuff.
Garuda

**Garuda** is a Wind Creature with both Wind and Light element attacks.

## How to Get

Garuda can be found in Free Battles at 'Liday Forest'.

## Description

A half-human, half-bird god, that is said to be the ruler of all living beings that fly in the sky. She is revered as a symbol of virtue because she fights evil and has good manners. She serves the God of Creation and has a friendly relationship with Indra. She is called the Sunbird and has beautiful red wings that can even fly into dreams. It is even said that those who are brushed by her feathers will have their wings healed.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

In Hindu myths, Garuda is a divine sunbird and called the King of Birds. He once waged war with several gods to free his mother from slavery induced by a bet she lost, fighting several gods including Indra, and defeating them all.

Garuda later seemed at least civil with Indra, perhaps why Moekuri says their relationship is friendy. There is no particular connection to Brahma however, so perhaps that is a added connection by the game.

## Ability

* *Flying:* Garuda always has the Flying buff.
Cat Sith

**Cat Sith** is a Neutral Creature. She has no abilities but a vast array of physical attacks and strange skills.

## How to Get

Cat Sith can be found in Free Battle and caught at 'Souple Hill'.

## Description

A cheerful and free-sprited cat fairy. It stands on two legs and can speak the languages of humans, but it lives the free and easy-going life of a normal cat. Since it is descended from a certain noble cat, if it hears news from the Kingdom of Cats it may sneak off on a journey to become king.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Cat Sith is a animal from Celtic myth, a fey cat. It is sometimes thought to be a witch that became stuck in the form of a cat as well. The Cat Sith said to be all black except for a white spot on it's chest, as large as a dog. It's been said to bless the houses of those who leave out a saucer of milk on Samhain, or curse those who do not.

The final sentence of Moekuri's description refers to a British folk tale related to Cat Sith, where several of them tell another that the king of cats is dead, making the one they speak to the new King of Cats. This implies the Cat Sith in the game would be this particular one in line to the throne.
Hraesvelgr

**Hraesvelgr** is a Wind Creature. She can hit several weaknesses with her Wind skills and takes the abilities of those she defeats.

## How to Get

Hraesvelgr can also be found in Free Battle at 'Souple Hill' and 'Floating Island'.

## Description

A great mythical bird that eats souls and tears apart the deceased. In the form of a massive eagle that carries the blood of giants, she can send wind across the world with a flap of her wings. She gathers the voices of the dead from that wind and harvests the souls that interest her before the valkries or Thanatos can. She usually uses Ratatoskr as an intermediary to quarrel with Nidhogg.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Hraesvelgr is a jötunn, or giant in Norse mythology. He is known to take the form of an eagle, which is why the Moekuri version has wings. He is described as sitting at the end of the world and causing wind to blow when he beat his wings. There does not seem to be any afterlife connection, meaning the description took a somewhat loose interpetation of 'end of the world' to make her a underworld resident that preys on souls.

## Abilities

* *Flying:* Hraevelgr always has the Flying buff.
* *Ability Drain*: When Hraevelgr kills a target with a skill, she steals their ability (excluding rank X abilities).
* *Devour:* When Hraevelgr kills a target with a skill, she is healed for 25% of their max HP.

## Trivia

* Like other Creatures, Hraesvelgr will lose stat changes when she is removed from the field. However, she will keep gained abilities until the battle ends.
Ymir

**Ymir** is an Ice Creature. She has incredibly high attack and many skills to use to defeat her enemies.

## Ymir

### Summon time, cost, capacity

* Summon Time: 9
* Cost: 5
* Capacity: 1

### Abilities

Freeze Immune, Petrify Immune, Lock Immune

## How to Get

Ymir can be found in Free Battle and caught at 'Floating Island'.

## Description

The original giant who was born from a drop of water that fell into the chaos. She is revered as an ancestor by a tribe of frost giants. However, she pays that no mind and lives a life disconnected from the mortal world. She feeds from the milk of the cow Audumbla that was born the same way as her, and it is said that is all she has sustained herself on. Loki, Fenrir, and the others are all decendents of Ymir.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

In Norse myth, Ymir is the first of all giants, or 'jötnar' as they are called. The cow Audumbla appeared from the nothingness in the same way as Ymir, and was indeed how Ymir survived, drinking from the cow. The cow herself survived by licking at salt rocks, which were slowly eroded to reveal Bori, the ansestor of the Norse gods, called 'æsir'.

Ymir eventually died, and from his body the world and all other realms was fashioned by Bori, acting as the creation story for Norse mythology. In this sense, everything except for the æsir is decended from Ymir. Moekuri likely says that she takes no interest in the world because Ymir has no connection to the world since it only existed after his death.

Moekuri's Ymir wears a bright blue dress covered in constellations, referencing her primevial origins. The character has no particular association with ice, but it may be because it was stated that frost giants specifically revere her.

## Abilities

* *Freeze Immune:* Ymir is immune to the Frozen debuff.
* *Petrify Immune:* Ymir is immune to the Petrified debuff.
* Lock Immune: Ymir is immune to the Immobilized and Silenced debuffs.
Basilisk

**Basilisk** is a Neutral Creature with a variety of self-buffing abilities and very high attack. She is a creature used by Nika.

## How to Get

The player may get Valkyrie after completing Stage 4 or 15. Basilisk can be found in Free Battle at 'Souple Hill' and 'Before the Kether Temple'.

## Description

A venomous monster birthed from the blood of Medusa. It is feared by all other venomous snakes as the "King of Snakes". Those who look into it's glowing magical red eyes are instantly turned to stone. Although it has such a terrifying offensive ability, it can be defended against by using a mirror to reflect its gaze, or with it's natural enemy, the weasel.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Basilisks are described in Europeon stories and writings as a 'serpent king', called such because of a crown-like crest on it's head. It has been described as being less than twelve inches in length, making it a fairly small snake, but it is so horribly venomous that it leaves a trail of venom in it's wake that scorches the ground, and that it kills anyone that meets it's eyes.

It also is weak to the smell of weasels, which will kill them. According to some stories they can also be killed by hearing a rooster crowing or having their gaze reflected by a mirror. It is sometimes also compared to or said to be the same as a cockatrice, which looks closer to a rooster with a serpent tail.

Moekuri, like several other works of fiction that use basilisks, changes this outright lethal gaze into turning to stone. It also has no direction connection to Medusa outside of Moekuri.

## Abilities

* *Poison Power!:* Increases Basilisk's Attack by 30% when she is Poisoned.
* *Magic Eye:* Increses Basilisk's Accuracy by 35%, and grants immunity to the Blinded debuff.
Master

A **Master** is both the player's character and their main enemy in a stage. Masters summon Creatures to fight for them, and if a Master is defeated, they lose, regardless of how many Creatures or Familiars are still there. Masters are usually Neutral element. Masters also have a Class, which determines what skills and abilities they have, aside from their innate ability. Unlike Creatures or Familiars, Masters regain 4 SP every turn, and will not die from being reduced to zero SP, though unlike Creatures, they cannot use a skill or summon that would drop them to zero.

## Playable Masters

* Nika
* Penalu
* Liia
* Elisha
* Falim
* Univa
* Fan
* Bell

Lamassu

**Lamassu** is a Light Creature. She is great for buffing her allies.

## How to Get

Lamassu can be found in Free Battle at 'Souple Hill', 'Liday Forest', and 'Before the Kether Temple'.

## Description

A guardian spirit that defends good fortune and safety. She takes the form of an angel and protects people from bad things such as demons and misfortune. Although she mainly guards gates, temples, and other buildings, she also guides humans safely on the path to the gods. She is also called the Goddess of Blessings, and it is said that meeting her in a dream will bring good fortune.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Lamassu is a being from Mesopotamian myth. At first she was portrayed as a mediating goddess named Lamma that heard the prayers of worshippers and passed them on to the other gods. Later on they were protrayed as protective spirits, said to have a human's head, the body of a bull, and wings of an eagle, symbolizing intelligence, strength, and freedom. They also are shown with bull horns frequently. Statues of them were made flanking important entrances.

Moekuri's version has the horns and wings portrayed on the statues, and a white bull tail. Her description blends Lamassu's role as a deity and protective spirit together, acting as both.

## Abilities

* *Flying:* Lamassu always has the Flying buff.
* *Amulet 1:* Lamassu reduces damage her Master takes by 5% when she is summoned.
* *Stat Resist:* Lamassu is immune to stat decreases.

Cupid

**Cupid** is a Light Creature that can charm others to turn on their allies, and cure various debuffs.

## How to Get

Cupid can be found and caught in Free Battle at 'Before the Kether Temple'.

## Description

The angel of love who pierces hearts with the bow and arrows of romance. She is a daughter of the goddess who governs love, and she pushes those who are troubled by love on the whims of her childish heart. In addition, she brings together the feelings of lovers when her mother requests it. However, she can cause people to become the prisoners of love without regard for the true feelings of those involved, so other gods occasionally get angry with her.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Cupid is a deity from Greek and Roman mythology, often portrayed as the son of Aphrodite. Generally he is not the focus of the tale, but pushes things into motion by inducing love on mortals on the whims of the other gods, especually his mother.

Cupid is an angel and not a god in Moekuri, and has wings to match- this fits the Christian interpetation of Cupid as an angel that fills mostly the same symbolic function.

## Abilities

* *Cupid's Arrow:* Target enemy Creatures and Familiars and inflict the Charmed debuff. Can be used twice.
* *Flying:* Cupid always has the Flying buff.
Liia

**Liia** is the main antagonist of Moekuri. She seeks to create a perfect world by any means. Penalu is her friend and lackey. She is also responsible for saving Touka from death proper, allowing her to linger as a ghost.

## Class

Liia in story mode is a Magician; this is also her only class when playable.

## Ability

Liia's ability is *Scale of Heaven*: This lets you pick a stat on yourself and your nearby creatures to average it out between them. You can pick between Attack, Defense, and Magic.

It should be noted this Ability takes 6 points to use and cannot be unequipped; this means she will not be able to equip other abilities until level 26 when she has enough spare points to do so.

She held up the heavens and created the environment necessary for plants to grow. She is also the guardian deity of buildings, and the trees that she gives her blessing to grow big and storng become that many living creatures call home. She is the unseed divinity that supports the foundation of our livelihood.

## Description

One of the 72 demons and a Great Duke of Hell. Appears in the form of a panther and knows the secrets of the flames. She handles flames freely and uses them to burn away her enemies. She has the power to know the past, present and future, but if her summoner is immature she will tell only lies. However, she will teach even an apprentice the skills necessary to protect themselves from demons.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Flauros is described in the Ars Goetia as a Great Duke of Hell controlling thirty-six legions of demons. He has understanding of the past present and future, but will only speak lies unless entrapped in a magic seal. He also can set the summoner's enemies ablaze and can ward his summoner against the the influcence of other demons.

Valkyrie

**Valkyrie** is a Neutral Creature with strong physical attacks and self-buffs. She is summoned by Elisha, Univa and Fan.

## How to get

The player may get Valkyrie after completing Stage 6 or 11. She can also be found and in Free Battle at 'Liday Forest'.

## Description

A half god, half human maiden that serves Odin. She chooses which brave humans who fall in battle to guide to Valhalla, in preparation for a day to come. In addition, she continues to train for the time she too must fight. Despite this, she has a devoted caretaker side as well, and spends her days in Valhalla waiting on the souls of the dead.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Valkaries in Norse myth are, as the description says, warrior women who bring the souls of deceased warriors to Valhalla in service of Odin. There are somewhat conflicting accounts of if they are daughters of Odin and thus goddesses themselves, or mortal women in service of Odin, which grants them their supernatural status. Moekuri saying she is a demigod seems to be a combination of both answers.

## Abilities

* *Undying Will:* All allies gain 15% attack with Valkyrie dies.
* *Unyielding:* Valkyrie gains 5% attack/defense/magic when an ally dies.
* *Ally Boost 2:* Allied creatures gain 10% attack/defense/magic when Valkyrie is summoned.
Contract Gems

**Contract Gems** are items used to add Creatures to your roster.

## Acquiring

Contract Gems are given to you after winning Free Battles and some Story Mode battles, and battles with enemy Masters give more gems. However, if your level is higher than theirs, no gems will be given.

## Use

Contract Gems can be used by going to the 'Gems' icon on the main menu. From there you can see how many you own, and specify what sort of creature you want; you can get a Creature at the base level, or at your own, pick what element will appear, and if it's one you already own or one you don't have. Adding more stipulations increases the cost, however.

The base price is 10 gems. Changing the level adds 20 to the price, same with elements. Getting a Creature you already own costs 10 more, while getting an unowned Creature adds 50.
Satori

**Satori** is a Neutral Creature with many buff granting skills and is difficult to hit. She is one of the Creatures summoned by Haruka and Fan.

## How to get

Satori can be earned by beating Stage 13. She cannot be found in Free Battles so the only other way to get her is through Contract Gems.

## Description

A youkai that can read people's minds. It is as nimble as it's monkey-like figure suggests. Living deep in the mountains, it has a calm demeanor and avoids confrontations. It is said that the Satori can sense the intentions of humans and hides from them. It is very perceptive of danger, unexpected occurrences may surprise it and cause it to flee.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Satori in Japanese mythology that are said to be able to read minds and have a monkey-like appearance, living in the mountains. Moekuri is accurate to this, seeming to show a 'generic' Satori instead of any specific youkai character.

## Abilities

* *Danger Sense:* Satori naturally has 50% Evasion.
* *Mind Reader:* Satori can evade skills used on her up to 3 spaces away.
Skeleton

**Skeleton** is a Dark Familiar that can be summoned by the Necromancer class and some Creatures.

## Description

A skeletal warrior that moves by the power of magic. These undead are bright and energetic, and are skilled with attacks that make use of swords. They work diligently to carry out orders, but complicated ones cause them problems. Because of this, they are frequently put to use as guards protecting specific places or objects.
Kumbhakarna

**Kumbhakarna** is an Earth Creature with many powerful attacks, but may fall asleep at random.

## How to Get

Kumbhakarna can be found in Free Battle and caught at 'Before the Kether Temple'.

## Description

A rakshasa, a type of demon, that recieved the blessing of sleep. When she and her companions were having their wishes granted by the God of Creation, she tried to ask for a merciless 'cold heart', but due to similairities in the language of the rakshasa she accidentally asked for a 'sleepy heart'. In return, she received the power to gain immortality for a day if she sleeps for half a year. Others are cautious of her because she was completely calm after a strike from Indra's vajra.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Kumbhakarna is a figure from Hindu mythology, a rakshasa with immense strength and size who fought both Indra and Yama at once and came out victorious. Indra requested Brahma to curse the demon to stop him, and he was cursed to 'sleep like he is dead'. The curse was somewhat migated on request of his older brother Ravana, so that Kumbhakarna would only sleep for six months at a time, not forever, and have one day between rests in which he can destroy and devour to his heart's content.

A second retelling of this fits closer to what Moekuri uses; Kumbhakarna and his siblings performed a ritual in honor of Brahma, and when Brahma came to grant each of them a boon, the goddess Saraswati made him tongued so that instead of asking for the 'throne of Indra' he asked for 'a bed for sleeping', resulting in the same sixth month curse.

Design-wise, Moekuri's Kumbhakarna has small demon-like wings and wears a crown and dress, invoking the image of 'sleeping beauty'.

## Ability

* Sleeping Beauty: Kumbhakarna has a 35% chance of falling asleep at the end of every phase, which cures her of all other debuffs. She recovers 10% of her HP and 2SP if her phase starts with her asleep.
Oread

**Oread** is a Earth Creature. She can cure many debuffs and remove buffs from enemies.

## Oread

### Summon time, cost, capacity

* Summon Time: 3
* Cost: 8
* Capacity: 1

## How to Get

Oread can be found in Free Battle and caught at 'Liday Forest' and 'Floating Island'.

## Description

A type of fairy that lives on mountains and grassy plains. She is an active sprit that flies around in a dragon tank. She is a servant of Artemis, and under her orders she serves as an intermediary and transporter between various races.

Among the nymphs, she has a tendency to go ahead on her own. But on her first mission, she was so frightened upon seeing a human for the first time that she would not even approach until the human went to sleep.

## Design/Myth Inspiration

Oreads are nymphs from Greek mythology that reside in mountains. As with other types of nymphs, they are known to serve Artemis. Echo is an example of an Oread as well. Otherwise there is very little information on this type of nymph.

Exactly what the game means by a 'dragon tank' isn't clarified, but no such thing seems to appear in gameplay.

## Abilities

* *Nymph's Grace:* Increases Oread's Magic stat by 20% for every other ally with the same ability.
* *Stat Resist:* Oread is immune to stat decreases.
