This nightmarish predatory Kreature was designed for nocturnal reconnaissance missions. Not only is it an agile flyer with sharp reflexes, with its keen hearing it can lock onto prey while blindfolded and even avoid attacks that it can't see coming. Its hairless body also allows it to feel air currents directly on its skin. All this together makes it a Kreature that's hyperaware of its surroundings at all times. This suite of abilities makes it useful to Kreature Trackers in addition to Kreature Tamers. Its primary offensive attack is a sonic beam it emits from its mouth, which penetrates the target with concussive ultra high-frequency vibrations. It prefers to sleep during the day, finding a nice sturdy branch to hang from with its grasping toes and prehensile tail. Mother Mardaxes will carry their young inside their pouches until they're ready to fly, which they can seal shut to keep their babies from falling out. Mardaxes mostly prefer flesh but also have a sweet tooth for fruit, nectar and honey.
