Katress (Japanese: クレメーオ Kuremæw) is a 
Dark element Pal.
Appearance
Katress is a bipedal greyish teal Pal with feline features, wearing a long fur dress with wide sleeves and an open front and a wide brimmed hat. It has an exaggeratedly large purple witch-like hat and robe obscuring its mouth. Its ears are on top of its hat being tipped in white with the inner parts being pink. It has a black cloak with hot pink accents. Its paws are white giving the impression of gloves and boots. Its eyes are pink with small eyelashes visible.
Behavior and habitat
This Pal, being a nocturnal species, can only be found at night or as an Alpha Pal in the Sealed Realm of the Invincible. Wild Katress will still be able to spawn for a while after the break of dawn, and won't completely disappear until the sun is actually visibly rising in the horizon.
In the wild large groups of Katress can sometimes be found forming a circle and performing a ritual reminiscent of ceremonies like Walpurgis Night. Katress usually appears alone at night around the ritual circle or in dungeons and attacks the player on sight.
Utility
Katress's Partner Skill, Grimoire Collector, causes Neutral Pals to drop more items when defeated. This makes Katress an excellent choice to bring with your party when farming Leather, Bones, Horns, or any other item that can potentially drop from a Normal Pal.
Katress is also able to craft, transport items, and craft medicine when assigned to the Base. While all three of its work suitabilities are only at a moderate 2, it is a nocturnal Pal that does not go to bed at night, so it will work even when most other Pals have gone to sleep.
If employed as a Base Pal, Katresses will still continue working through the night, and won't need beds to accommodate them, as they never sleep. If not tasked with anything, they'll simply wander about the base. These traits are shared with all nocturnal Pals.
Contrary to the Paldeck entry, if the player has both Katress and Wixen together, whether in the active party or working at the same base, they will not be hostile to each other, and get along just fine.
