Acklashi

Acklashi is a Neopteron.

## Physiology

Acklashi greatly resembles a Praying Mantis. It is green in color, with a white underbelly. It has six highly developed legs. These legs are very large and long, making up the majority of its body. Its back is supported in the air by its legs, and covered in a large spiny shell that is very resistant to damage unless it is wounded. Its head is connected to a short neck, and has two small blue eyes on either side. Its jaws are large and contains a multitude of sharp spikes.

## Behavior

Acklashi is extremely aggressive and territorial, and will pursue intruders relentlessly. They have extremely short tempers as well, becoming violently angry from the slightest provocation. They live in forests, swamps, and mountains, and will scour these areas in search of prey nonstop. All of this makes Acklashi considered a nuisance, and many tend to avoid their habitats because of their presence alone.

## Abilities

Acklashi are notorious for their incredible physical strength, owed mostly to their brutally strong legs. These legs are used to crush, stab, and mutilate their opponents. They can even jump great heights, run at high speeds, and climb with them. This alone makes them infamous, but they also have one more trick up their sleeve. Their bodies contain a strong paralyzing agent, that they can spit out of their mouths with precision. Because of all of this, Acklashi is considered the rival apex of the Deciduous Woods.
