The Hastur (ハスター, Hasutā^?) was an exosuit that was wielded by the leader of the Kur's Advance Unit. The exosuit was soon destroyed by Okarun during the Kur's attempted invasion of Earth.

Appearance

The exosuit was lengthy in height, shown to stand taller than an average human. Its head had a thin shape with very large black eyes that glow when its spatial carving abilities were activated, along with small nostrils and a slitted mouth. Its upper body had a shell-shape that split from the back and possessed two holes on the back. The opening of the shell where the head is had dark cords around the neck area that runs down to its small abdomen. It had reptilian features such as a long tail and scaly arms with three clawed fingers, including metal shoulder pads. It also had a loincloth with a scale pattern similar to its arms. The suit's legs were very long in comparison to the upper body.

Capabilities
Spatial Carving
	The exosuit has the unique ability of carving out space as its main form of combat.
Strengths
Okarun brought down by the carved space. Used offensively, the exosuit's spatial carving ability enables the wearer to attack their opponent with an invisible force, with a thrust of the palm causing a distortion of space being sent to destroy whatever is in its path or a hand grip gesture allowing the wearer to crush their opponent with carved space from opposite sides. Upon impact, the spatial attacks are devastating enough to bring down strong combatants such as Okarun, whose injuries from being crushed by the space around him were so severe that he had to be put on life support. The wearer can also grab ahold of the carved space to attack their opponents from up close. Hastur expelling debris that was previously absorbed into the suit's dimension. The exosuit wearer can use the carved space to swipe away anything heading towards their direction, sending them to the suit's pocket dimension on its back. This helps the exosuit wearer to avoid any incoming attacks and even banish opponents from the battlefield if they are in close-range. The wearer of the exosuit can choose to release whatever they have stored away, which can be another form of offense depending on what they are sending back at their opponent, such as Hastur redirecting a wave of debris back at Momo after the Esper previously sent it towards the Kur as an attack. Hastur shifting Okarun's position back. The spatial carving also allows the exosuit wearer to shift the position of their opponents. In the midst of battle, the exosuit wearer can rob an opponent a chance to land an attack by shifting them back and can pull them in towards them to close the distance and attack. As a result of this tampering of space, the exosuit wearer's opponents end up being caught off guard and are usually left too late to do anything to defend themselves. Defensively, the exosuit wearer can block oncoming attacks by placing carved space between themselves and the attack, which was shown strong enough to protect Hastur from an All-Out headbutt from Okarun.
Weaknesses
While the spatial attacks are strong it is possible to cancel them out if clashed with an attack of equal power, such as Momo's Moe Moe Tri-Beam that is capable of destroying exosuits with a single shot. An opponent with enhanced speed that is constantly on the move can make it difficult for the exosuit wearer to land a hit with the carved space or to shift their possession, as the few times it is shown to work is when the opponent remains stationary.
Dimension
	The exosuit possesses its own dimension that stores whatever the wearer swipes away with the suit's ability to carve out space. The storage space is located on the suit's back from which everything that is sent is visible on the two large holes.
Strengths and Weaknesses
The dimension is able to store an infinite amount of whatever the exosuit wearer has captured inside the suit's body. While any living thing is kept alive within the dimension, it is impossible for them to escape unless the wearer wishes to expel whatever is inside. However, as demonstrated by Momo, if the exosuit wearer just so happens to absorb a being who possesses powers that transcend dimensions, then it can be made possible for them to force their way out using a special attack. This will result in the exosuit taking major damage due to the attack being unleashed from within.
Tail
	The tail of the exosuit can be used as a weapon, as the tip is sharp enough to pierce through flesh, shown when Hastur impaled Bamora through her abdomen.

History

Past

Hastur was already in possession of this exosuit at the time of his race's invasion of Sumer.

Kintama Hunt Saga

Space Globalists Arc

Upon the arrival of the Kur's Advance Unit on Earth to track down the Sumerian girl Bamora, Hastur used his exosuit to eliminate two Serpo at their base and to raid the facility to secure the alien race's technology and data. By the conclusion of the raid, Hastur's exosuit received a signal from Bamora's exosuit, inadvertently transmitted by Jiji, enabling the Advance Unit to track down their target and her new companions.

Later, Hastur utilized his exosuit against Okarun after his team confronted him. Using his exosuit's spatial carving power, the Kur tampered with Okarun's positioning as he engaged in a one-on-one fight against the Jet Booster Exosuit Kur and made the final blow to put him down.

In the course of the Kur's attempted invasion of Earth, Hastur inflicted a lethal injury to Bamora by utilizing the tail of his exosuit to penetrate her abdomen. Following this, the Kur used his exosuit to engage in combat with Momo, and later Okarun upon his arrival on the battlefield. Ultimately, the exosuit sustained damage from Momo's Moe Moe Tri-Beam after she used this technique to escape the confines of the exosuit's dimension and was soon destroyed when Okarun charged straight through it at full force.

Later, after the conclusion of the invasion, the helmet of Hastur's exosuit was recovered by the Serpo to look over the data about the Kur.
