Habitat: Frozen wastelands, jungles, volcanic regions, just about anywhere. (Invasive)

Disposition: Aggressive, vicious, lustful,

Diet: Carnivorus, men's spirit energy, thermal energy.

A large species of reptilitan-insect hybrid mamono native to the ever-changing lands of Invasive. These Akrids are a Category-M, though the Queen Chryatis are Category-G.

When the first groups of humanoids found their way to the spirit realm of Invasive, one of the first threats they encountered were the Chryatis. These strange hybrid-like mamono were highly aggressive and were found just about everywhere, plauging the colonists wherever they went. Seemingly able to survive in any environment. Many of the humans lost to themselves to the rampant kidnappings these mamono caused and the Chryatis was forever known as the scourge of Invasive.

Like many other Akrids of Invasive, the Chryatis shares a strange combination of reptilitan and insect traits, long antenna ending in yellow bulbs full of heat dangle off from their back. Two long straight horns protrude from their head. Their arms are both scaled and segemented and at the start of each arms are much more soft glowing flesh that radiate a more intenser version of heat and thermal energy. These 'arms' are quite long and end in two pronged claws. Their legs share many the same characteristics, save for the energy-storing packs and the 'longness' of it. They have an abdomen where a tail would be on beastmen mamono that is mostly translucent with that same bright yellow themeral energy glowing within. Their scales and color usually match the area they are in... despite the bright glowing bits clearly giving them away in most circumstances. All Chryatis stand atleast a good 10ft to 13ft tall, and other varieties have been spotted in the past.

Chryatis, and most if not all other Akrids, are attracted to heat and thermal energy. As it is required to survive in the usual harsh environment of Invasive and other lands where they end up in. Usually a Akrid can acquire this through ingesting/bathing in the main thermal energy areas of Invasive, but another way to get some is through converting men's spirit energy into the heat energy they store. Chryatis are patient hunters, able to 'hibernate' beneath rock, sand, or snow waiting for a source of heat to come close to them and then they will gleefully pounce. Those that try to escape quickly might find themselves doubling over at their rather large range and ability to spit out sort of... molten rocks that function alot like demon realm silver. And while all will gleefully take this heat for their own, those in the frozen wastes of Invasive will also share back this energy so as to cause their new mate not suffer a frostbitten fate.

Other kinds of Chryatis can sometimes form a pack-like mentality, these giants are however very loose in this form of teamwork and only report back to each other if a single Chryatis gets more mates then the single one she needs to share. Such packs have that of a queen that is their alpha of a sorts, this queen appears to go under a bit of metamorphis that increases their size to atleast 18ft tall, increases their thermal energy storing capacity and makes them regenerate rapidly when damaged. As long as the queen has thermal energy, she is more or less immortal while like that. These queens are also able to channel the natural frost of Invasive into a deadly weapon they can employ as either a sweeping frozen breath or rain down large iciles from above. Thankfully such packs are rare and loners are much more common.

While Chryatises are extremely... proactive in how they procure a husband, due to the nature of the landscape they are in. They are more then a bit delicate when ascertaining the needs of their 'heat-source' as you will. Though of course, asking to be let go is out of the question. They try to make their man happy and in way that they won't be as readily to leave upon immedately finding the option to do so. But due to the rather savage nature of their race and not having much of a civilization they have rather low knowledge on a butch of subjects. Though they will attempt to follow their man's orders to the best of their abilities. Though will get fiesty if left without their or his 'heat-pack' for long.

Occasionally Chryatises will stop at the height of 13ft, but some others can grow up to atleast 16ft without the help of a pack making her into a queen. These Chryatises are known as Gorechryatis and are stronger in both durability and strength then the normal ones. Their unprotected heat-sources on their limbs and abdomens are now covered in hardened chitin-like plating that with enough damage themselves can explode off and be damaged regularly.

If it wasn't made clear enough already, these glowing points on their arms and abdomens is where their thermal energy is stored and is also their weak point. Some Chyratises will sustain enough damage to their limbs that it will be blown off, reducing their threat significantly. Though given a couple days or hours in a thermal energy pool and they will grow back the missing limbs as if they were good as new.

Out of all types of pleasure they can give to their man or others, it appears oral appears to be their forte, as they are expertly able to maneuver their tongue and just their mouth in general in a lot of 'interesting' ways that can make their man feel like they're melting. Their natural body heat doesn't help this sensation in the slightest.~

Chryatises encountered in areas other then Invasive are usually quite giddy about not having to rely on their thermal energy for as much, most of the times anyway. These Akrids are much more calmer in a sense and are more approachable, though this won't save you if you are seen as one they fancy and will gladly take you as a 'heat-pack' to bring back home if applicable.
