Katakana

Katakana is a Chelicerata first introduced in Monster Hunter Frontier: New World. This Chelicerata first appears as a hidden monster in Low Rank, hunting Nerusukyura, but later on appears as a huntable monster in late High Rank Quests.

Physiology
Katakana is very similar to real life tarantulas but is also fairly similar to trapdoor spiders. It has gray mixed with yellow hairs on its body along with blue markings on its legs. Its abdomen is larger than Nerusukyura but like Nerusukyura it has four legs and two long huge pedipalps. Katakana has black eyes and only has six of them. Its legs are larger and a bit more robust than Nerusukyura's legs. The main thing that puts it apart from Nerusukyura is that its fangs reach a shorter range yet they are still extendable.

Habitat
It can only be found living in places where its truly hidden and dark like the Underground Cave, Underground Volcano, and Neopteron Hive. In these areas it can either hunt in webs or ambush prey from underground.
