Ayatoriko
CharacterAyatoriko is a string-obsessed Lemures unleashed by Tiger's Eye against the Sailor Guardians in Sailor Moon SuperS, a spider-like creature who weaves cat's-cradle patterns into snares and hurled weapons.
Appearance
She takes the form of a spidery monster fitted with several extra arachnid legs, and she is fond of chirping the phrase 'Cat's Cradle.'
History
Tiger's Eye set Ayatoriko loose on the guardians as they tried to stop him from combing Miharu Akiyama's dreams for Pegasus. Using strings held in her hands, she bounced Sailor Mars's Fire Soul right back at her through a portal and steadily gained ground, though Sailor Jupiter tore apart the web meant to ensnare the team. She eventually bound them all, and when Miharu tried to fight, she snatched the girl's sword with her threads.
The moment Miharu released it, the blade struck Ayatoriko and dropped her. Sailor Chibi Moon summoned Pegasus with Twinkle Yell, and Sailor Moon destroyed the Lemures using Moon Gorgeous Meditation.
Abilities
Her repertoire is built entirely around string. She can spin countless cat's-cradle configurations, fling sharpened stars of thread, and drop giant webs from above to bind or trap her targets, and she can even liquefy her patterns into a sticky sludge. Her one limitation is that she cannot form a six-rung ladder figure.
