Shoji Akalis is an Elder Dragon that lives around Castle Schrade, created by BannedLagiacrus, which is now owned by Nin10DillN64.


Physiology[]

Shoji Akalis
Shoji Akalis Icon by YukiHerz A legendary dragon said to hold a special connection to the Black Dragons, many have sought to slay it, through few have lived to tell the tale. Shrouded in steam intense enough to melt steel, it appears to have been boiled alive at first glance, and any who dare to challenge it are doomed to share a similar fate. When threatened, it forms darkness from ice fused with draconic energy, freezing over the area before it and drowning its victims in an umbral tide.


Shoji Akalis is very similar to Fatalis in body shape, but unlike Fatalis, it prefers to walk and fight on all fours, only taking a bipedal stance on occasion. Its eyes are pale yellow-orange in colouration, and much like White Fatalis, it has a mane, which is dark pink in colouration. The scales on its body are pink with dark pink markings, whereas the underbelly is a pale pink with dark pink markings, making the monster look as if it was boiled alive from a distance. Its legs are dark pink with dark fuchsia markings, and in addition, the claws are a dark fuchsia, whereas the pale pink webbing has a large, monocle-like, burgundy marking that holds various small, burgundy circles. Its back holds stegosaur like plates that are burgundy in colouration, and its tail holds a thagomizer. It has a total of eight horns on its head, with two being located above its eyes, one on the nose, and the other five being seen on the sides of its face. Its tongue is white and forked like a snake's, and smoke and steam can be seen emanating from its pores, with them constantly flowing when the monster is enraged.

Ecology[]

Shoji Akalis is a top-level predator, feeding on humans and a wide variety of smaller monsters and only facing competition from other Elder Dragons and monsters on their level. Its shell is very thick, allowing it to withstand blows that would kill lesser monsters, and its wings are flexible, yet rigid like steel, allowing it to fly at high speed and support itself while in flight. While on the ground, its strong muscles allow it to run on all fours at high speed and land mighty blows onto its enemies, crushing them with its bulk. It holds control over boiling water and ice, being able to shift between them on a whim thanks to specialized dorsal plates that allow it to shift its body temperature at a moment's notice, not unlike the Wassellipse species, and in addition, it is believed that its natural ability to harness the Dragon Element, an ability seen in many Elder Dragons, helps speed up the process of shifting between ice and boiling water, and to sustain this ability, it will drink large quantities of water and store the contents in specialized organs within its body and release excess steam and ice through its pores. Due to it frequently being coated in steam and smoke produced from said abilities, its shell is a noticeable shade of pink, indicating that it was boiled and suggesting that Shoji Akalis itself isn't immune to the effects of the boiling water it controls, though this does not appear to cause it much, if any harm due to how resilient its shell is. Its tail comes equipped with a thagomizer that can inflict nasty injuries onto anything within its reach, and the wings hold a monocle-like pattern that, in addition to the plates on its back, serve as a means of intimidation, encouraging lesser foes to back off if they want to live. However, its most noable ability is the control it holds over darkness, merging the ice it creates with the draconic energy within its body to form it and using it to form projectiles and enhance its physical blows, and when pushed to the brink, it can summon an intense storm that cloaks the area in darkness before raining down giant balls of Dragon-infused ice and slamming onto the ground while cloaked in darkness to form an umbral nova, obliterating anything in its path. It is said that, similar to Black Dragons like Fatalis and Alatreon, it maintains control of its powers through its horns, and damaging the horns can weaken its powers as a result, leaving it more vulnerable, but not crippling it entirely. Interestingly, it has been observed forming a mutualistic relationship with the Fatalis species, with one protecting the other's young while the other is out hunting in exchange for a portion of the kills gathered, with this relationship forming to ensure survival in a place as brutal as the Schrade region, which has no shortage of threats, ranging from valiant hunters to other Elder Dragons that aren't willing to share territories or resources.

Behavior[]

Shoji Akalis is very hostile to most other forms of life, attacking them on sight and bombarding them with darkness and steam until they perish, and is particularly aggressive towards humans, laying siege to their settlements the moment it sees them and offering no mercy in battle. Interestingly, it has been observed to hold a mutualistic relationship with the Fatalis species, with both species caring for each other's young while the other is out hunting in exchange for a portion of the spoils, indicating that is more intelligent than it appears.

Abilities[]

Shoji Akalis is an immensely powerful monster, being able to lay waste to entire hunting parties in mere moments, and it utilizes both the Ice and Dragon Elements, simultaneously using them separately and combining them to form the Darkness Element, making use of this hybrid element through icy projectiles and melee strikes infused with dark energy. In addition, it can also make use of the Water Element through intensely hot steam released from its body, creating a steaming aura around itself that drains the health of nearby hunters, jets of steam released from its body, and forming rain clouds with its breath that rain down boiling water onto foes.

Habitat[]

Shoji Akalis can be found within and around Castle Schrade, but it has been observed in other areas on occasion, attacking villages like Harth.

Attacks[]

Shoji Akalis shares many attacks with Dire Miralis and the 4th gen Fatalis while it is on all fours, but possesses attacks of its own.

Steaming Roar

When it first sees a hunter, Shoji Akalis will roar, and steam will be released from its body, obscuring its body and covering the area in a thick fog. This ability acts like a Smoke Bomb to hunters, greatly blocking their vision and preventing them from seeing the monster clearly, but it can still see the hunters.

Boiling Water Roar

Shoji Akalis stands up on its hind legs and roars, much like Dire Miralis summoning meteors. When it roars, the boiling water puddles surrounding it will shoot up into the air as geysers for a few seconds. While it does this roar, they will remain as geysers until it is staggered twice by hunters. Contact with the geysers deals high damage and inflicts Steamblight.

Ice Burst

While on all fours, Shoji Akalis will make three large blocks of ice before discharging Dragon energy from its body, causing the ice to explode around it from the combining of the two elements. This attack deals high damage and inflicts Darknessblight if hunters are close to the ice blocks when they explode. In Rage Mode, the blocks of ice can actually be set off if hunters are close enough to them during the attack.

Armour Coating

Shoji Akalis will fly up into the air before body slamming into the ground, causing debris to land all over its body. It will then make itself extremely hot, to a melting point where the improvised equipment will melt to its skin. After a few seconds, the armor will melt on its skin and its defense will increase, making weapons bounce without access to Mind's Eye. After this, its underbelly will be the only soft part. If hunters are close to it while it does this, their health will slowly decrease while near it from the heat. The armour coating will become more brittle if hunters are able to lure Shoji Akalis into boiling water or hit it with Water attacks, allowing them to break it off more easily.

Ice Coating

Shoji Akalis will fly up into the air and roar before enveloping itself in water and making itself extremely cold, causing the water to freeze and form armour akin to that seen on Zamtrios and Glacial Agnaktor. After a few seconds, the armor will fully form and its defense will increase, making weapons bounce without access to Mind's Eye. After this, its underbelly will be the only soft part. If hunters are close to it while it does this, their stamina will slowly decrease while near it from the cold. The armour coating will become more brittle if hunters are able to lure Shoji Akalis into boiling water or hit it with Fire attacks, allowing them to break it off more easily.

Howling Moon

Shoji Akalis will fly up into the sky and position itself in front of the moon before howling. When it howls, its pores will release freezing air, covering its body with freezing air before forming a sizable ice ball around itself and falling from the sky on top one of the hunters. When it hits the ground, ice will scatter on the ground and Dragon energy will surge from the ice. This attack deals high damage and inflicts Darknessblight, and contact with the flying ice shards inflicts Snowman. After the attack, it will flap its wings, sending the hunters backwards unless they have Wind Res (Hi).

Boiling Skin

Shoji Akalis will increase its body temperature with the aide of its plates, forming a burning aura around itself that causes hunters to lose health when they are close to it. It is only able to do this while its Armour Coating is active. From it increasing its body temperature, some of the equipment on the ground will melt in near seconds while its stands. Its chest will glow bright yellow-red when it performs this ability.

Freezing Skin

Shoji Akalis will decrease its body temperature with the aide of its plates, forming a frigid aura around itself that causes hunters to lose stamina while standing near it from the cold. Shoji Akalis can only perform this ability while its Ice Coating is active, and its chest will glow white when it does this.

Aerial Bombardment

Shoji Akalis takes to the skies, and while flying around the area like a Rathalos, it will shoot ice balls at hunters while circling around the area, and it will then fire one huge ice ball before landing, with each ice ball bursting into Dragon-infused ice chunks upon hitting the ground. This attack deals high damage and inflicts Darknessblight and Snowman.

Double Dragon Bite

Shoji Akalis crawls backwards quickly before biting forward two times like Tigrex, combining its bites with the Dragon Element. This attack deals high damage and inflicts Dragonblight.

Tail Whip-Bite Combo

While facing another hunter, Shoji Akalis will quickly turn around to bite the hunter before swing its tail to hit any hunter behind it. Both attacks deal high damage.

Ice Claw Swipes

While on all fours, Shoji Akalis will fly backwards and land before swiping forward like Rukodiora. It will freeze its claws and swipe forward with them. While swiping forward, small spikes of ice will flinch hunters and make it harder for hunters to evade the swipes. This attack deals high damage and inflicts Iceblight.

Boiling Rage

While in Rage Mode, Shoji Akalis will release steam from its pores before large amounts of water is released from its pores and jet out from each pore. This attack deals high damage, inflicts Waterblight, and forms sizable puddles that rapidly decrease hunters' health by standing in them.

Rain Summon

Shoji Akalis will stand upright and make a huge cloud around the area by forming one with its breath in the air. After forming it, it will begin to rain and cause Steamblight to all hunters under the rain while also making the boiling water puddles in the area larger, granting them greater range and area of effect. It will only use this attack when enraged.

Boiling Grapple

Shoji Akalis will do its Steam Roar move and target one of the hunters. It will fly right behind that hunter before wrapping its tail around them and pulling them towards its face. It will then stare at them and breathe an intense stream of steam into their face, rapidly draining their health. Hunters will have to mash buttons so it doesn't instantly kill them, but it's extremely hard to do, since the meter also accounts for the amount of damage the hunter has taken. If the hunter has taken to much damage and has little health, it will finish them off by brutally biting into them.

Tracking Ice Crush

Shoji Akalis will slam its forelegs on the ground, and freezing air will surround it before a track of ice flows from its forelegs to a random hunter on the ground before popping up as a huge spike of Dragon-infused ice, which will send them flying into the air. This attack deals high damage, inflicts Darknessblight, and can be combined into another attack from Shoji Akalis.

Swirling Dragon Dance

Shoji Akalis will fly around in a circle like Rukodiora before summoning huge spikes of ice from under it, which deal high damage and inflict Iceblight and Frostbind, greatly slowing down hunters caught in them. After that, it will breath Dragon energy onto the ice, and it will surge throughout the ice, damaging hunters every few seconds before the ice melts and inflicting Darknessblight. Due to the nature of this attack, it can easily result in instant death without the use of items like Lifepowder. It will only use this attack when enraged.

Water Pulse

Shoji Akalis shoots out large jets of water from its pores before it spits a huge burst of water from its mouth. This attack deals high damage and inflicts Steamblight. It will only use this attack when enraged.

Stealth Bomber

Shoji Akalis will howl in the air and swing its head wildly before targeting a random hunter by shooting ice balls at them. It will then follow the hunter, shooting a huge stream of Dragon-infused ice at them while chasing them from the sky before stopping to catch its breath. This attack deals high damage and inflicts Darknessblight. It will only use this attack when enraged.

Umbral Cataclysm

Shoji Akalis rears its head back before letting out a mighty roar, then flies up into the air and into the sky. It will let out a mighty howl, causing the area to fill with darkness, and after that, it will rain Dragon-infused ice onto the area. As the area is cast into darkness, hunters will need to avoid the shadows because they will drain their HP. Shoji Akalis will then summon a large storm of Darkness, causing large Dragon-infused ice balls to fall from the sky, and flies down while enveloped in darkness, creating a shadowy nova that covers the entire area upon impact.

If Shoji Akalis's head wasn't broken prior to using it, the attack is an instant kill without the True Guts skill and bypasses evasion and guards (unless Guard Boost is implemented; if it is, the attack can be blocked, though hunters will still take heavy chip damage), and survivors will be inflicted with Darknessblight and Snowman; fortunately, it can be avoided by using a Farcaster.

If Shoji Akalis's head was broken once prior to using it, the range and power of the attack will be noticeably reduced, with the attack no longer being an instant kill, though it will still inflict heavy damage along with Darknessblight and Snowman.

If Shoji Akalis's head was broken twice, it will not use the attack at all, instead continuing to fight normally.

It will only use this attack when at around 12% HP.

Carves[]

G-Rank[]

Icon Item Name Description
Scale Icon Pink Shoji Akalis Shard A thick, pink scale shrouded in steam and smoke. The ice that forms around it is cold enough to render armour brittle and leave its victims as little more than icy husks.
Shell Icon Pink Shoji Akalis Cortex A rigid, multi-layered carapace carved from the Shoji Akalis's back. It scoffs at normal weaponry, deflecting even the strongest of slashes, impacts, and projectiles with ease.
Shell Icon Pink Shoji Akalis Pectus A carapace that covers the Shoji Akalis's chest. Its vents release steam hot enough to melt armour and boil hunters alive in an instant.
Horn Icon Pink Shoji Akalis Hardhorn A mighty horn that once lined the Shoji Akalis's scalp. Its mesmerizing pink-red hue hides a deep darkness that threatens to consume anything the Elder Dragon deems a threat.
Wing Icon Pink Shoji Akalis Fellwing An unusual wing notable for the burgundy, monocle-like pattern that lines its webbing. Incredibly hard to work with, only the most skilled blacksmiths can forge equipment with it.
Plate Icon Pink Shoji Akalis Plate One of the many dermal plates that line the Shoji Akalis's back. Its design allows for thermoregulation unlike that seen in other Elder Dragons, granting the Shoji Akalis the ability to shift between ice and steam on a mere whim.
Eye Icon Orange Shoji Akalis Devileye The Shoji Akalis's menacing eye. Stare into the abyss, and it will stare right back at you before claiming your soul and condeming you to an eternity of darkness and despair.

Breakable Parts[]

Head- The head will lose some of its horns (1st break), then the rest of its horns will be broken off, and its right eye will be gouged out, with a scar appearing over its socket (2nd break)

Chest- The shell on the chest will be cracked, exposing the flesh underneath it.

Wings x2 - The webbing will be torn.

Trivia[]

  • Unlike the original Shoji Akalis, the revamped version is not a Conquest War monster, instead being designed as being more like the Iceborne incarnation of Fatalis in terms of battle, nor does it hold the power to possess other lifeforms. This is due to Nin10DillN64 wanting to make it more like something a player would face in a mainline game.
  • Instead of being the guard of Fatalis like the original is, the revamped Shoji Akalis instead forms a mutualistic relationship with it, with both protecting the other's young while they are out hunting in exchange for a cut of the spoils. Interestingly, this mutualism is only seen in the nominate Shoji Akalis, with Hellion Shoji Akalis competing with Crimson Fatalis for resources, with both preferring to do harmless territorial displays instead of actually fighting to avoid the risk of injury, and Yurei Shoji Akalis stealthily, but benignly following the trail of White Fatalis for reasons currently unknown.
    • This is more of a lore aspect, however, as in gameplay, they are rarely, if ever seen together.
  • Similar to Fatalis, hunters that use any equipment from Shoji Akalis are rumoured to strangely disappear, though there is currently nothing confirming this.
  • Breaking Shoji Akalis's head twice will lower the range and damage output of many of its Darkness-based and Steam-based attacks, making it easier to slay.
  • Credit goes to Ukanlos Subspecies for the artwork.
  • Credit goes to ElusiveSeeker and CometTheValstrax for suggesting new ideas for Shoji Akalis's ecology.

Shoji Akalis is an Elder Dragon that lives outside the Castle Schrade, created by BannedLagiacrus, which is now owned by Nin10DillN64.





Physiology[]

Shoji Akalis is very similar to Fatalis in body shape but prefers to walk on all fours and fight on all fours with only occasionally standing upright like Fatalis. Its eyes are pink colour and much like White Fatalis it has a mane, which is pink in colour. Shoji Akalis' skin is undeadish with a smoky appearance and steam is coming from pores in its skin. Its wings have monocle markings on them that are raging with smoke and steam along with a white forked tongue like a snake. Shoji Akalis' has stegosaur-like spikes on its tail used as weapons and 8 horns on its head. Two horns adorn the top of its eyes, one on the nose, and the other five on the side of its face.

When enraged, steam will constantly flow from its pores.

In-Game Description[]

Shoji Akalis
Shoji Akalis Icon by YukiHerz Linked to the Black Dragons, the Shoji Akalis guards the fields of the Castle Schrade where many have failed to pass. Shrouded in armour-melting steam, the dragon's scales are as pink like it was boiled alive... a fate the fallen share in common. Threatened enough, it may even call on it's master...


Habitat[]

Shoji Akalis can be found outside the Castle Schrade in the Field of the Fallen but it has been seen in other areas attacking villages like the Harth.

Attacks and Moves[]

Level 1-Level 100[]

It shares attacks with Dire Miralis and Fatalis(4th Gen.) while its on all fours.

Steaming Roar: Shoji Akalis will roar when it first sees the hunters and steam will shoot from its body, making it harder to see it and covering the area in a thick fog. This ability acts like a Smoke Bomb but Shoji Akalis can see the hunters while the hunters can't see it easily.

Boiling Water Roar: It will stand up on its hind legs and roar much like Dire Miralis summoning meteors. When it roars, the boiling water puddles will shoot up into the air as geysers for a few seconds. While it does this roar and they will remain as geysers until Shoji Akalis staggers two times from hunters. If hunters by any chance are damaged by the geysers, it will cause Waterblight.

Ice Dance: While on all fours, Shoji Akalis will make three large blocks of ice before discharging Dragon from its body causing the ice to explode around it combined with the Dragon Element. This attack causes Darknessblight if hunters are close to the ice blocks when they explode. In Rage Mode, the blocks of ice can actually be set off if hunters are close enough to them during the attack.

Armor Coating: Shoji Akalis will fly up into the air before body slamming into the ground, causing armor to land all over its body. It will than make itself extremely hot, to a melting point where the equipment will melt to its skin. After a few seconds, the armor will melt on its skin and its defense will increase. Now its underbelly is the only soft part. If hunters are close to it while it does this, there health will slowly decrease while near it from the heat. The armor coating's defense will decrease if hunters are able to get in boiling water.

Howling Moon: Shoji Akalis will fly up into the sky and fly in front of the moon before howling. When it howls, its pores will release freezing air, covering its body with freezing air before forming a moon made of ice and falling from the sky on top one of the hunters. When it hits the ground, ice will scatter on the ground and Dragon will surge from the ice causing Darknessblight. Despite the attacks name, its not the size of the moon but much smaller. After the attack, it will flap its wings sending the hunters backwards.

Boiling Skin: It will increase the body temperature of its body with the Dragon Element and will make itself warmer, causing hunters to lose health when they are close to it. Its only able to do this while it has its armor coating on itself. From it increasing its body temperature, some of the equipment on the ground will melt in near seconds while its stands. Its chest will glow bright yellow-red when it performs this ability.

Freezing Skin: Shoji Akalis will decrease its body temperature with the Ice Element, making itself about as cold as a cold region, causing hunters to lose stamina while standing near it from the cold. Shoji Akalis can only perform this ability while armor is on its body and its chest will glow white when it does this.

Call of the Remobra: Shoji Akalis will roar into the air and mimic the call of the Remobra. It will summon ten Remobra into the area, to help it battle the hunters and to district them from another attack by another monster.

Fatalis Assist: After calling the Remobra into the area, it will howl into the air and call the Legendary Black Dragon, Fatalis, into the area to strike from the area from the sky. Fatalis will strike the ground while flying around the area like Rathalos. While flying around, it will shoot fireballs at hunters while circling around the area and it will than strike down from the sky at hunters with one huge fireball before disappearing back in the Castle Schrade without a trace.

Double Dragon Bite: It will crawl backwards quickly before biting forward two times like Tigrex. When it bites, it will combine its bites with the Dragon Element.

Tail Whip-Bite Combo: Shoji Akalis while facing another hunter will quickly turn around to bite the hunter before swing its tail to hit any hunter behind it.

Ice Claw Swipes: While on all fours, Shoji Akalis will fly backwards and land before swiping forward like Rukodiora. It will freeze its claws and swipe forward with them. While swiping forward, small spikes of ice will flinch hunters and make it harder for hunters to evade the swipes.

Boiling Rage: While in Rage Mode, Shoji Akalis will steam from its pores before large amounts of water is released from its pores and jet out from each pore. This attack will cause Waterblight and it will make puddles that decrease hunters health by sting in them.

Rain Summon: Shoji Akalis will stand up right and make a huge cloud by forming one with its breath in the air. After forming it, it will begin to rain and cause Waterblight to all hunters under the rain while also making the boiling water puddles larger.

Possession: Shoji Akalis will do its Steam Roar and target one of the hunters. It will fly right behind that hunter before wrapping its tail around them and pulling them towards its face. It will than stare at them and open up its wings too before actually saying, Kill your friends and I'll give you whatever you want if you do what I say!. Hunters will have to mash buttons so it doesn't possess them but its extremely hard since the meter also accounts for the amount of damage the hunter has taken. If the hunter has taken to much damage and has little health , it will instantly possess them and they will do whatever it wants. After possessing a hunter, it will clear the fog and will reveal itself and its possessed hunter before fighting normally. The possessed hunters objective is just to help Shoji Akalis kill and defeat the other hunters, making them fail the quests, while also attacking them with normal attacks.

Level 100-Level 357[]

Tracking Ice Crush: Shoji Akalis will put its hand on the ground and freezing air will surround it before a track of ice flows from is hand to a random hunter on the ground before popping up as a huge spike of ice. This attack causs Darknessblight and can even be combined into another attack from Shoji Akalis.

Swirling Dragon Dance: It will fly around in a circle like Rukodiora before summoning huge spikes of ice from under it and sticking hunters in the air. After that it will breath Dragon on the ice and it will surge throughout the ice damaging hunters every few seconds before the ice melts.

Water Pulse: Large jets of water will burst from its pores before it spits a huge burst of water from its mouth.

Fatalis Stealth Bomber: Shoji Akalis will howl in the air and swing its head wildly before Fatalis flies out of the Castle Schrade. It will land at the top of one of the buildings on the castle and targeting a random hunter by shooting fireballs at them. It will than follow the hunter shoot a huge stream of fire at them while chasing them from the sky before disappearing back in the castle.

Level 358-Level 750[]

Call of the Fatalis: Shoji Akalis will stand up right and roar in the air. It will mimic the call of Fatalis and summon it to the area to fight with it for the rest of the battle.

Remobra Barrier: It will stand up right and call for the Remobra but something unexpected happens. The Remobra will gather around it and make a barrier around Shoji Akalis. Shoji Akalis will than turn around send them around a random hunter too pin the hunter down. The hunter will have to mash buttons to get the Remobra off them and when they get out of their grip the Remobra will fight normally.

Level 751-Level 1999[]

The Mutation's Appearance: When hunters make it up to this level or hunt a Shoji Akalis of this level and beyond, Shoji Akalis has a five percent chance of calling for the Fatalis mutation, the G-Rank Fatalis.

Destruction of Castle Schrade: Shoji Akalis and Fatalis will rear back behind each other before they both roar at the same time. When they roar, both of them will fly up into the air and into the dark sky of the Castle Schrade. Both of them will howl and hunters will fall to their knees, trying to not get possessed by them. After that they will rain hell fire and blistering ice on the hunters. As their darkened lifeless shadows cast the area into darkness, hunters will need to avoid their shadows because their shadows can cause hunters to take extra damage. Shoji Akalis will than call for Remobras to attack hunters from the sky while it and Fatalis summon large storms of the Dragon Element around the area, leaving the Castle Schrade destroyed. As both of them fly down and flaming ice rains from the sky, hunters can hear the screams of the fallen in the Castle Schrade, as if they were still alive. This attack can cause Iceblight, Fireblight, and Dragonblight.

Notes[]

  • Its highest level is 1999, much lower than the Frontier G-Rank Fatalis.
  • If possessed hunters are able to make all of their fellow hunters faint and fail the quest, Shoji Akalis will actually reward that hunter with much larger reward than the Guild and even give them one or two rare items.
  • Interestingly, if hunters are wearing a full set of Fatalis, Crimson Fatalis, White Fatalis, or Dire Miralis, Shoji Akalis will try its best to avoid attacking those hunters as if they were those monsters and knowing its own power compared to their power.
    • Even though not of dragon kind, Burst Species Wilolu material is needed to upgrade its weapons and armor at least once for each.
  • Shoji Akalis is said to combine the heat of Dragon together with Ice in order to make Water Element attacks.
  • Shoji Akalis is the guard of the Castle Schrade while Fatalis is its more powerful master.
  • If any hunter faints and activates the skill, Black Lifeline, they will instantly become possessed with no warning and will do increase damage to hunters.
  • Despite what many hunters think Shoji Akalis isn't the only Elder Dragon able to possess hunters. The Fatalis Species is also able to possess hunters and the Fatalis armor actually whispers to hunters to do evil.
  • Similar to Fatalis, many hunters that have used any equipment from Shoji Akalis have strangely disappeared.
