Midnight Hunter
If Hanternos is adjacent to an evergreen tree or jungle piece, or occupies a shadow space, he may not be targeted for normal attacks from non-adjacent figures. If Hanternos begins his turn adjacent to an evergreen tree or jungle piece, or occupying a shadow space, he may ignore elevations, pass over water without stopping, pass over figures without becoming engaged, pass over obstacles such as ruins, and never takes leaving engagement attacks when moving, and, if he also began his turn unengaged, he may attack one additional time.
Soul Slicer
Opponents’ figures that are not Soulborgs may not roll defence dice against Hanternos’s normal attack.
The Ancient Hunt
After revealing an Order Marker on this card and taking a turn with Hanternos, if he inflicted one or more wounds with his normal attack this turn, you may take an immediate turn with any other Spirit or Hunter Army Card you control and you may not take any additional turns with other figures you control.

Unit Bio
Spoiler Alert!
Bio - I walked through the shadows of Bleakwoode, my fellow samurai by my side. Our bows were drawn, our arrows strung - the eerie forest around was making our nerves uneasy. Thin, pale shafts of moonlight penetrating the canopy were our only source of vision. I constantly thought I could hear something rustling in the underbrush - nothing happened, so I told myself it was just harmless forest creatures scavenging for food in an attempt to calm my fear. I needn’t have worried about that - what struck us made no sound whatsoever.
It came in an instant, no warning, none at all... it was gigantic, a great, translucent, viridescent insect, more than twice the height of a man, with large, delicate wings and scythe like claws longer than my torso. Within a second, it slashed twice, and my comrades fell - it left no mark on their bodies, its scythes just passed through them and they collapsed, dead, as though it had cut through to their very souls. I was petrified.
The forest echoed with an ethereal cry, whether of triumph or agony, I could not tell - it could just have easily come from the creature or my comrades. Whatever it was, I knew it would act like a beacon to more of this monster’s kind - more would come, following the cry as surely as a shark follows blood in the water. I was not prepared for just how swift they were, though - it was all over in an instant.
Before I could even run, I thought I caught a glimpse of movement, and a flash of red eyes out of the corner of my own. I turned towards it...
The last thing I saw in life was a large, white rabbit with blood red, savage eyes lunging at me, its colossal teeth bared, aiming for my throat...
