The harkalan is a species native to western Australia. Standing normally it looks like an arthropod, but with vastly increased size at an average of 1.4m high. They possess a hard exterior exoskeleton and strong mandibles that inject a potent necrotic agent. In the wild it has been observed to live very much like a yoperkuz tarantula, so much that harkalanae are suspected to be a merge between human and ancient tarantula genetics. Harkalanae are extremely well adapted to urban environments due to two reasons:
- Harkalanae can move, hunt and set nests very stealthily in urban environments. Movement between buildings is swift and natural. This is particularly dangerous at night-time.
- Harkalanae can imitate the posture of a human woman begging, and even mimic a grown human's wail by using a small atrophied vocal cord system. They use this ability very efficiently, "begging" to people during the night when visibility is low. Their "coat" extends to appear like a robe while not "begging", and they can walk like a (somewhat crippled) bipedal.
Harkalanae feature different colour and pattern designs, making such identification difficult. However it also means wild harlakanae can be easily spotted in the wild.
