A scorpion-like Category-M Akrid with a strange elastic stinger tail. Quite deadly as a result in both close and mid-range combat.

These scorpion mamono were encountered by the second colonist group after escaping with most of them there from the Debouses mentioned eariler in their profile. This was encounter was much more immedaite, as just as the colonists were leaving the moving ecosystem of Red Eye, three appendages resembling a scorpion's stinger had wrapped around the waist of three of the twelve remaining colonists and quickly pulled them back into the arms of three Neegals, which was surpursing in hindsight, as they aren't a mamono to form a pack of any kind. The colonists; tired from having run away from another encounter, only haphazardly shot back to save their kidnapped comrades.

Unlike other scorpion mamonos like the Gandharva, Neegals don't have a centaur-like body shape and instead are bipedal. Their legs and arms are chitinous as always, but there are flaps of skin between each limb that allows a Neegal to glide over short distances when needed. They have extremely long and thin antenna sprouting from their heads and going down past their feet, they are more then a bit sensitive to pleasure and they do enjoy such things being gingerly touched. All Neegals have a single tail that ends in a stinger, around the base of this tail is where one of their thermal energy storages is, it is of course one of her weakpoints and shooting it enough will cause the tail to rip off. Neegals don't have venom in their stinger but their tails are extremely elastic and bendable, allowing her to stab things from a couple hundred feet infront of her or do a whipping motion 360 degrees around her incase any threat wishes to come up behind her. They can also use it as a improvised grappling hook, if the thing they are stabbing into is sturdy enough of course. Their second and much bigger thermal energy storage is in their belly and as such, that area grows a reddish-orange at all times.

As said above, most Neegals are loner types that feel as if they are not to be restrained by any sense of group or 'working-together' peferring to do things very much their own way. That doesn't mean Neegals are selfish, if someway another forces their way into either helping them or vice-versa they will somewhat begrudingly give back or share what is due. Most other times the Neegal likes to explore the frozen wastes and moving ecosystems of Invasive, in a much more deterimined matter then like the Vodogg or Sepia as well, they set out a point in their mind and move towards it. If nothing is discovered 'oh we' and they will move onto the next. They like to keep a extensive map in their minds and do so very well so that even though it might seem she's been walking in the same exact frozen wasteland for five hours she will know that its actually a bit different from where she was just before.

Due to the above, calmer and 'tamed' Neegals make excellent guides for the uninitated to Invasive, and are quite glad to help those unaware in need. Though more wild Neegals use this photographic memory for laying out ambush points for anyone they might fancy, or caravans that happen in the area carrying food. While all Akrids don't need physical food to survive due to both either men's spirit energy or thermal energy sustaining them, Neegals seem to be the most inclined to eat foods from other planes like the material plane. Hence why they sometimes attack these caravans for a different kind of taste. Though very rarely will they take a man for this instance, seemingly more focused on trying new things.

When they attempt to catch a man, they usually use their elscatic tails to wrap around him and pull him close. Due to the strength of their tail, squirming one's way or trying to break free is more then a little hard. While a Neegal's stinger holds no venom, its material is very similar to demon realm silver and getting stabbed by such a large appendage multiple times is more then enough to cause the entire person's body to go limp. A rather deadly looking juxtaposition from their usual whimsical selves. Though when proceeding with this forceful sex, they jump back to their energeticness in a rather literal manner, jumping and humping onto the man's rod in a almost uncareable way. Though later attempts can be more delicate if desired. Again, almost somewhat begrudgingly.

Compared to all other Akrids in Invasive, Neegals seem to be the most prepared for a 'regular' life-style as they would have usually learned about the other planes, especially the main material plane and how things work there rather then usually not for the other denziens of this plane. Due to the Neegal's love to travel, they will usually attempt to leave the plane of Invasive and experience new ones. Though will understand if the one they fancy isn't so used to traveling all over the place and will attempt to take it slow.

As you might have guessed, Neegals love it when they are displaced from the plane of Invasive and are one of the only mamono there that are happy to leave such a place. Its not that they hate Invasive or anything, its just that their love of travel is much stronger then their love of home.
