Hurdler ()

History: Hurdler was a female Daimon specially created by Professor Tomoe for Eudial after she, as per his suggestion, located an athlete with a pure heart: a renowned young sprinter and hurdler by the name of Elza Gray. The product of the fusion of a hurdle with a Daimon Egg, her purpose, like that of all of Eudial's Daimons, was not to extract Heart Crystals from human beings, but rather to serve as a bodyguard and living weapon for her own personal use. 
                 Summoned to battle the Inner Soldiers after Eudial extracted Elza Gray's Heart Crystal, Hurdler managed to successfully jump over Sailor Venus's "Venus Love Me Chain" and tie her and the other Sailor Soldiers up using one one of her attacks, though they were quickly freed from their confinement by Sailor Neptune. While she managed to outdistance Sailor Mars' "Burning Mandala" during the battle which ensued, Sailor Uranus managed to catch up to the sprinting monster and restrain her long enough for Sailor Neptune to stun Hurdler with a "Deep Submerge", giving Sailor Moon the opening she needed to destroy the Daimon with her "Moon Spiral Heart Attack".

Abilities: A Daimon in excellent physical shape, Hurdler was a gifted sprinter, and, as her name implies, hurdler, a fact which allowed her to outrun, leap over (as in her "Hurdle Kick" attack), or otherwise dodge the Sailor Soldiers' various projectile attacks with remarkable ease. It is important to note, however, that Hurdler's abilities, while impressive, were not superhuman, as Sailor Uranus was able to keep pace with the monster and even restrain her without overt difficulty.
Paraphernalia: Hurdler possessed a weapon resembling a chalk wagon - a device normally used to mark boundaries on fields for various athletic events - which, when used during her "Hurdle Line" attack, could release a long, tapering stream of "chalk" that would surround her adversaries, then come together and solidify to form a ropelike mass capable of tying up her opponents, thereby incapacitating them.
