The Mortarachnis is a strong Temnoceran first introduced in Monster Hunter Y. It can be fought in High Rank and G Rank quests, and came as a Halloween monster.

Physiology
Mortarachnis is very similar to the black widow spider. It is black in color, with a mahogany hourglass symbol on its abdomen. It also has giant jaws, similar to a stag beetle, and it has 8 blue eyes that turn red when it is enraged. As well as this, it has 8 long, slender legs, and a big abdomen used for creating silk.

Habitats
It is only seen in dark areas like the Sunken Hollow, where it can successfully stalk and kill prey.

Attacks
Bite: Mortarachnis will step back, extend its giant jaws, and attempt to bite at a hunter. This attack does moderate damage, and inflicts Poison.

Pounce: Mortarachnis will leap forward at a hunter. If the attack is successful, it will result in a pin attack where it holds the hunter in its large jaws. If the pin attack is successful, then it will suck out a portion of the blood of its hunter victim, inflicting Sleep, and throw him/her onto the ground, making it a very dangerous attack.

Rush: Mortarachnis will run at a hunter and deal damage and knockback if the attack hits him/her.

Kick: Mortarachnis will raise one of its first two forelegs and attempt to strike a hunter with it. This attack does moderate damage, and deals knockback.

Web Shot: Mortarachnis will rear up and shoot a big web out of its abdomen. If the attack hits a hunter, it will inflict Web Bound.

Web Swing: Mortarachnis will shoot a piece of silk up on the ceiling and swing in a direction towards the hunter, similarly to Nerscylla.

Glide: Mortarachnis will shoot a large web connected to a piece of silk up into the air and glide towards a hunter. If the attack is successful, it will result in a pin attack.

Ceiling Attack: Mortarachnis will rush towards a wall, climb it, and then walk on the ceiling and try to follow the hunter. Once it is directly above the hunter, it will drop down and inflict a lethal bite on the hunter, inflicting Deadly Poison.

Horror Screech: When enraged, Mortarachnis's eyes will turn red, and it will emit a loud, rattling screech that inflicts Fear on nearby hunters who do not have Earplugs on.

Blood Spit: Mortarachnis will open its jaws, rush forward, and shoot a ball of blood at the hunter. This can deal splash damage if a hunter is near the attack.

Blood Stream: Mortarachnis will rear back and emit a stream of blood from its mouth. This attack does moderate damage.

Surprise Defense: Mortarachnis will seem to screech in agony and then fall limp. As soon as a hunter gets close to it, it will lash out and bite him/her, inflicting Dark.

Intro
Location: Sunken Hollow Area 3

Synopsis: It is a calm night in the Sunken Hollow, and it has somehow not turned into the Volcanic Hollow. The hunter is looking around the area, when, all of a sudden, he/she sees an Abiorugu stare at him/her with eerie red eyes. The Abiorugu then collapses to the ground, revealing a large Temnoceran with giant jaws. The Temnoceran then snaps at him/her, and misses. It then successfully catches the hunter in its jaws, and proceeds to suck his/her blood. He/She throws a Dung Bomb at it, making it let go. After the stench fades away, the Temnoceran hisses at him/her, and the hunt begins.
