Echidna

, also known as Mrs E., is a Ligeian Presence Distraction available in the Exile legacy. Lalla Chaima, the Huntress has a special interest in her. Echidna self-styles herself as the Mother of Monsters, and also plays a role in the major Forge victory.

Acquisition
may appear when Reconnoitre is used in Marrakech.

Uses
As a Ligeian Presence Distraction, can be used to counter an attack by a reckoner. She produces Foe's Wound if used against the Foe's attack.

'LIGEIA REMEMBERS'
"Sit down, sweetie. Let's have a chat. Here you are, dear. From someone who really shouldn't have changed their mind."

- when gifting the Labhitic Memento

"Of course I remember him. I knew your mother, too. I had high hopes of her, once..."

- when revealing a Foe's Weakness

Communicating with Echidna while she's in a good mood, or presenting her with a suitable gift, will allow you to learn a Foe's Weakness, eliminate a reckoner, or acquire Labhitic Memento.

If Lalla Chaima is present, attempting to communicate with Echidna will provide the Fallen Labhite, consuming the Echidna opportunity.

"At the first rumour of Echidna's presence, Chaima vanished into the desert. She left one of her characteristically curt notes: 'Hunting. Not hunting the Ligeian.'"
