Animal Mystic is a comic book series by Greg "Dark One" Williams.
Animal Mystic debuted in 1993 and ran through 1995, originally published by Cry For Dawn Productions and then by Sirius Entertainment.[ citation needed]
For 1998's Crypt of Dawn #5, Kevin J. Taylor wrote and illustrated a crossover story which featured Safety-Belt Man traveling through several Sirius Entertainment-published titles, including Animal Mystic, wherein he met Klor and Queen Jatarri. [1]
The daughter of a wealthy philanthropist, southern California native Nikki Ranoakke dreamed of becoming a great warrior. [2] Trained since youth in martial arts by the secret order of Glass Mantas, she became a student of ancient civilizations and their ways of combat. [2] Traveling to the Brazilian rainforest, Ranoakke befriends a white tiger that she names Mingus, discovers the secret temple of Thalk, and is initiated as lost amazonian tribe's true champion and leader through the right of trial by combat. [2]
Ranoakke, now known strictly as Queen Jatarri, is destined to enter "The Dark" and confront a mystical artifact called the Hypromid for the safety of reality. [3] Doing so, Jatarri is transported through time and space to the alien moon of Praktill, arriving there with the permanent body modification of pointed ears. [4] On Praktill, Jatarri rescues and eventually befriends Klor, a fierce warrior of great wisdom who is a centorg (horse-headed centaur). [5] From Klor, Jatarri learns of a threat to all life on Praktill: the hordes of carnivorous creatures called Spigmodites, which she vows to help eradicate. [6]
Learning that the wizard Rudapogg knows the secret to defeating the Spigmodite hordes, Jatarri and Klor embark on a quest to find him, the pair joined along the way by a female Kisabian ( anthropomorphic tiger) named Ryntha and a Draco ( dragon) called Shadu. [7] Upon finding Rudapogg, Jatarri learns that she holds the power to control Spigmodites, which she uses to ultimately force them to devour one another in a feeding frenzy. [8]
After Jatarri defeated the Spigmodites, Klor delivered to her the Hypromid, which transported her and her new friends to the underwater world of Antakia. [9] On Antakia, Jatarri learns of Lord Multa's tyranny and she vows to overthrow him. [10] In her quest to do so, Jatarri learns of her cosmic origins and meets the being who initiated her path as the universe's savior. [10]
