Hebihanabiko counts among the odder foot soldiers of the Dead Moon Circus, a Lemures handed a hunt instead of a kill. Tiger's Eye set her loose to slip inside a sleeper's shadow and corner Pegasus, the winged prize the whole circus was chasing.
Rather than standing on legs, this creature ends in a single tail that pins her to a shadow thrown across the floor, and that link can stretch to almost any length. The quirk earned her the nickname the Wall-Walker. Her name stitches together three Japanese sounds, one echoing the word for snake, another the word for fireworks, and the last the word for child.
When Pegasus arrived to aid the Sailor Guardians against Tiger's Eye, the villain slipped Hebihanabiko inside the winged shadow, then withdrew without realizing that the sleeping target was actually Chibiusa in her Super Sailor Chibi Moon form. Trapped in the girl's dream, the Lemures pressed her to seize Pegasus and rule the world, a move that would have chased him out of her mind for good. Chibiusa turned the offer down flat, wanting only his friendship, and that refusal set Pegasus free. He flung Hebihanabiko out of the dream, and Super Sailor Moon put an end to her with Moon Gorgeous Meditation. She was the second monster to invade Chibiusa's dreams after Jakoku, and the first creature ever to learn whose dreams sheltered Pegasus, though she was destroyed before she could carry word back to Tiger's Eye or Zirconia.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
Her gift lay entirely in dreams. By entering a sleeper through their shadow, she could take hold of the mind inside and pull the owner of Pegasus into that same dreaming state. Once there, she meant to coax the dreamer into craving control over Pegasus, a wish that would scare him away from the Dream Mirror hiding him. The scheme never fully unfolded, since Chibiusa never took the bait.
