Nekonelle ()

History: Nekonelle was a female Daimon - the product of the fusion of a Daimon Egg with a jigsaw puzzle of a cat - who obeyed Kaolinite's command to find a pure heart she felt comfortable with and sought out a young girl named Miharu, whose kindness in attempting to care for a litter of stray kittens had made her an ideal target. Suddenly coming to life shortly after Miharu entered her room and approached the very puzzle from which she had been created, Nekonelle scared her selected human victim half to death in the process and eventually tracked both her and her feline tagalongs to an abandoned house - the same one where the young girl had originally discovered and cared for the homeless animals - when they tried hiding there after having escaped from the monster's clutches. 
                 While attempting to extract Miharu's Heart Crystal, Nekonelle was twice assaulted, first by the large number of stray kittens the young girl had been caring for in their attempt to protect her, and subsequently by Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter using their respective "Burning Mandala" and "Sparkling Wide Pressure" attacks. Unfortunately, the monster effortlessly dealt with both the cats and the Inner Soldiers, as well as Luna, Artemis, and a powerless Usagi Tsukino, who had lost her ability to transform following an encounter with the Daimon Mikuuji. Though Nekonelle eventually succeeded in obtaining Miharu's pure heart, she was blown apart after being struck by both Sailor Uranus' "World Shaking" and Sailor Neptune's "Deep Submerge" in short succession, but managed to reform herself a short time later.      
                 After trashing the entire team of Inner Soldiers a second time, Nekonelle nearly killed Usagi when she attempted to protect the restored but still unconscious Miharu from harm but was rescued by Tuxedo Mask, who was himself gravely wounded after engaging the Daimon in battle while attempting to protect her. During a subsequent attack attempt, the monster was once again blown to pieces after Usagi's determination to save her friends and love for Mamoru resulted in the birth of the Spiral Heart Moon Rod and the creation of the Cosmic Heart Compact from the defunct Crystal Star, thereby allowing her to reassume her Sailor Moon form. Following her second restoration and yet another attack attempt, Nekonelle was permanently destroyed by Sailor Moon's "Moon Spiral Heart Attack".

Abilities: Aside from the ability to teleport, Nekonelle possessed a star-shaped mark on her left thigh capable of emitting a beam of black energy that would cause a human being's Heart Crystal to emerge from his or her body after being focused on that person's upper torso for a certain period of time. In addition to her catlike speed, agility, and reflexes, as well as her superhuman strength and stamina, she also had an unusually high degree of invulnerability to physical injury, and could reform parts of herself or even her entire body from her constituent jigsaw puzzle pieces after being impaled or even blown apart entirely. Nekonelle's main weapons, however, were her razor sharp retractable claws that could effortlessly slash through clothing and skin, and her long prehensile tail that could catch objects and people in a crushing, vicelike grip and lift them off the ground, be swung with enough force to knock a full-grown human being over, and even split up into several tails and intertwine in braidlike pattern, presumably to form some kind of battering ram.
