Editing Kensei (section)

===Spiritual Characters===
Onmyouiji come in six different kinds (although only four are currently in the game), with the four factions having specific options available. Each type is served by a different kind of Shikigami, and each also has access to one of two spellbooks. The ritual for binding Shikigami differs from discipline to discipline, with some simply being sent by the powers the Onmyouiji serves and others are tricked and lead to trust the wizard, then are beheaded and resurrected as a slave.
* Komuso
Komuso are monks that have set out to restore order to the world by combating the Onmyouiji and sealing away the spiritual where it belongs; in its own realms.

* Celestial Onmyouiji
Worshipers of the power of Ama. They are served by Yataragatsu, the three-legged crow servants of Hikari herself who guide Tenno to her realm and grants the Onmyouiji the ability to see what it sees. Their other is the Kitsune or Kitsume, a fox who's intelligence and magical powers grow as they age and their tail splits into more and can take the form of a human to bolster the forces of a friendly army. Worth noting that this is the only miniature to resemble real-life Kannushi, Shinto temple priests. The visual difference between an Onmyouiji and a Kannushi is mostly that the former generally has more expensive belongings and clothing.

* Earthly Onmyouji
These Onmyouiji are connected to the power of the Kuni, connected to the Kami and Yokai within it. Their first Shikigami is the Kamaitachi, a weasel bearing a sickle for a tail which can whip around the battlefield slicing off heads and limbs without detection. The second is a Kodama, a calm tree spirit who protect the forest and those friendly to it. The miniature takes inspiration from the Ainu indigenous peoples of Japan.

</gallery>

* Infernal Onmyouiji
Also called Hell Onmyouiji, who call on the power of Jigoku and Nekara as well as the 80000 Yokai who envy and hate the Kami. Their first servant is an Inugami which is a mortal dog they buried up to their head, starved, then beheaded when it attempted to reach a bowl of food out of it's reach. Inugami are complete slaves to their masters, and have become flaming beasts of spite. Their second is a Tsuchigumo, an evil spider which was a ghost who has been twisted by envy and who weaves webs that protect its master from attack. The miniature represents Kannushi who wear demon masks at certain ceremonies and festivals; in real life this isn't demon worship or dealmaking, and more resembles the old world traditions of Krampus and Mari Lwyd as someone dressing like a monster to interact with people at festive occassions.

</gallery>

* Death Onmyouiji
Onmyouiji dedicated to Emma-O and the Yurei. Their first servant is Nezumi, a black rat who knows black magic from gaining the knowledge contained in books they have eaten and can curse their foes with great misfortune straight out of a horror story (literally). Their second is Nekomata, a cat who can control magic and the dead; they love their owners and are absolutely loyal, but have a mean streak and can eat the dead to take human form when not raising the corpses as servants.

====Creatures====
The mythological beings of Hymukai. 
Note that fans of [[Pokemon]] as kids (and adults) should be familiar with many of the concepts, as quite a few are based on Japanese folklore. 

=====Infernal Creatures=====
Note that many Infernal Creatures were Death in an older edition of the game, a change some preview images doesn't reflect. 

Infernals are Yokai, often demons. They are the Yokai and Shura who belong in the Jigoku or Nekara of Yomi, but sometimes escape and wander the Kuni causing misery. Many have aspirations of breaking into the Ama, but always fail miserably. 

* Amanojaku

Also called Amanoyaku, it is a level 1 Creature. It is a small [[goblin]]-like demon who's name literally means "divine evil spirit". Many on the internet will recognize the name and appearance from the classic hentai (because this is not-Japan after all) Urotsukidōji. If not, you are an individual of virtue. 

Amanojakus are demons of temptation, who intensify the darker feelings and desires of their victims and convince the poor fool to act on them. Every aspect of Amanojaku is a corrupting influence. 

<gallery>
Image:Amanojaku.jpeg
</gallery>

* Onibi

Another level 1 demon with a goblinoid appearance. 

Onibi are demons born from corpses of man and beast that seek vengeance for the circumstances of their birth against...well, anyone really. From a distance, they appear to be a friendly spirit with a lantern trying to show travelers the way, or beckon the living somewhere. In reality they seek to mislead those who follow them, and leave them with a cruel fate. 

<gallery> 
Image:Onibi.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Shikome

A level 2 demon, this time resembling a [[Harpy]] or Fury from Western myth. 

They also fulfill a similar role, being winged women who savagely attack any who dare enter the Infernal or demonic parts of the world. There is an ancient Hymukai legend of a hero who attempted to rescue his love from death only to find that her hidden wickedness had turned her into a demon, and when he saw who she really was she called the Shikome to pursue and slay him. 

<gallery> 
Image:Shikome.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Ushi Oni

A level 2 demon. They come in many shapes and sizes (Kensei Ushi Oni come in a pair, as giant spiders with the heads of oxen), sharing only a predilection for human flesh and a habit of collecting bones. 

They prefer to make their homes in caves or nearby the shore, and love setting traps. They are among the cruelest and most merciless beings who exist. See: [[Kobold]]. 

<gallery> 
Image:Ushi Oni.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Oni

A level 3 demon. Oni resemble giant demon ogres. 

Oni are the strongest and most violent of the Yokai. Not exceedingly clever, but sadistic regardless and with a taste for human flesh. The dull intelligence is what keeps them from being the cruelest creature in Jigoku, but they are the most prone to breaking through the Celestial Gates that keep Infernal beasts at bay. They invariably run amok when they get loose, sowing swathes of destruction in their wake. Sometimes the rare Oni will show subtlety, kidnapping and quietly depopulating a village rather than blunder through with a club. 

<gallery> 
Image:Oni Kensei.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Nue

A level 3 demon. A chimera being with the head of a monkey, the body of a raccoon, tiger claws, a living snake for a tail, and wings. 

Although they are as evil as any other Infernal, the primary ill caused by Nue is merely by their presence. They bring GRAVE MISFORTUNE upon those nearby them. Killing them isn't enough to end the miserable luck, every trace of their body must be entirely destroyed. 

<gallery> 
Image:Nue.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Jorogumo

Level 4 demon. Jorogumo has the head and torso of a beautiful woman, but the body of a gigantic spider. 

Hikari was the first Jorogumo, and the rest are her daughters (so [[Tolkien|Ungoliant]] basically). They are among the most dangerous Infernals as rather than just smashing a path of death, or hunting and eating peasants who go too near the forests, Jorogumo exclusively prey on the mightiest of men. They hide their spider bodies and ply seduction that would make an Amanojaku weep for feelings of inferiority, trapping men in their webs before consuming them. To have a Jorogumo as a nemesis is a mark that you are a massively strong-willed badass. 

<gallery> 
Image:Jorogumo.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Hiderigami

A level 4 demon. Hiderigami are cyclopean giants with massive clubs. 

Basically a Nue mixed with an Oni, Hiderigami cause fires, stop rivers, and dry up the rain all merely by existing. Due to economic reasons, finding and killing a Hiderigami is an important task many adventuring parties are called in for, although the desire for human flesh they have makes them deadly foes. 

<gallery> 
Image:Hiderigami.jpeg
</gallery>

=====Celestial Creatures=====
Celestials are the beings of Ten-Do and inhabitants of Ama, and are either Kami or the servants of Kami. 

* Raiju

A level 1 Celestial. Raiju have the appearance of a horned canine with traits of foxes or dogs mainly, and appear to be partially made out of or bathed in electrically-charged clouds. . 

Their name means "Lightning beast" or "Roaring animal". They are entirely made of light, and leap from cloud tops with a bellow on their foes making them seem as if they were sentient lightning. 

The Japanese origin is the animal companion of the Shinto god of lightning Raijin. Raiju is a singular creature but appears as different animals such as cats, dogs, foxes, weasels, and wolves, all made of pure lightning and while flying resembles a lightning ball. Thunder cracks accompany his appearances. Strangely enough he likes to sleep in the navel of humans who sleep outdoors, and the irritated Raijin attempts to electrocute humans he sees from the sky when Raiju can't be found; to avoid getting electrocuted because a god's pet thunderweasel is sleeping in your belly button you apparently must sleep on your stomach. The [[Pokemon]] Raikou, and the three legendary dogs in general, were based on Raiju (much of second generation Pokemon was based on Japanese mythology). 

<gallery> 
Image:Raiju.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Basan

A level 1 Celestial that looks like a large hen, and can grow to be as big as a mountain. 

Rather than clucking, their noise is an onomatopoeia sounding like "Basaibaba". Each time they exhale they shoot flames, although these flames only burn what the Basan wants it to and can never harm a being who is pure of heart. They are nocturnal. 

<gallery> 
Image:Basan.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Komainu

A level 2 Celestial, resembling a giant dog with the head of a lion. 

Komainu are guardians of the Celestial realm, and always come in pairs which stand guard at attention on the sides of doorways or gates. They can be found made of stone, metal, flesh, or even as spirits. 
Shrines often put statues of Komainu at their entrances, and its believed they will come to life and defend the temple if besieged. 

<gallery> 
Image:Komainu.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Tennyo

A level 2 Celestial. Tennyo are four-armed angelic women bearing bows and katanas. 

The female servants uplifted by the Kami, they spend their time in Ama pursuing the tender arts of music, poetry, art, and love. They do not hesitate to do battle with the corrupt, and will fight without fear. 

The mythological origin of Tennyo is divine beings that are similar to angels and fairies that inhabit the heavenly realms in Japanese Buddhism serving the important heavenly entities such as Buddhas and Bodhisattva (ascended mortals), themselves inspired by similar beings in Chinese Buddhism which in turn are inspired by similar beings in Indian Buddhism. Japanese Tennyo sometimes visit the realm of mankind and remove their magical feathered kimono called Hagoromo which allow them to fly. In both legends and in Noh plays there is a story of a fisherman who finds a Hagoromo on the ground near the shore and is then confronted by a naked Tennyo. Depending on the version he either took it intentionally without her knowing and married her then giving it back and allowing her to return to heaven after a long life together, or he took it by mistake and simply asks her to perform a heavenly dance for him in exchange for it back, said dance teaching the human race about the phases of the moon and tides. 
Male Tennyo are called Tennin and are functionally the exact same, only they (presumably) don't marry fishermen. 

<gallery>

Image:Tennyo 2.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Byakko

Level 3 Celestial. The spirit of the west, Byakko is a singular entity that appears as a bipedal white tiger. 

He is a being of great power who summons the powers of the sky including wind and electricity in defense of the balance of the world. When not in war, Byakko serves as an advisor to rulers by dispensing his thousands of years of wisdom to them. 

<gallery> 
Image:Byakko.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Kirin

A level 3 Celestial, Kirin combine the roles of Angels and Unicorns in Hymukai myth. 

Kirin have the head of a deer, body of a lion, and dragon scales with an elongated giraffe-like neck. Kirin are beings of utmost purity who avoid the mortal world and its earthly impurities whenever possible. Despite this they acts as messengers for the Kami, and when in need the Kami will call on a Kirin to command their subordinates in battle like a divine Taisho. 

The origin of the Kirin myth lies in China where an emperor sent an expedition to Africa and returned with animals for his zoo. He told the story that his giraffe was a magical being that only appeared for wise leaders and that having his own was proof of this. Its debated whether he believed this story or told it for amusement. Artistic representations combined the Chinese dragon with a deer and an ox tail, the giraffe spots appearing as scales. Buddhists reinvented it as the supreme celestial creature, only below dragons and phoenixes in power, who dwells in the homes or kingdoms of pure beings and will immolate any evil that threatens them while itself walking on clouds out of fear of harming innocent grass. 
The Japanese version is actually the most powerful mythological creature, surpassing dragons and phoenixes. It also lost most of the dragon features, appearing instead as a deer with large horns and a body that glows with small (unless angry when it is surrounded by) flames. 

<gallery> 
Image:Kirin.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Suzako

A level 4 Celestial, also called "Suzaku". Is essentially a Phoenix, although it is immortal rather than dying and being reborn. They appear so radiant, all other beings look common beside them. 

Suzako inhabit and protect the southern prairies of the southern Ten-Do. Their fire not only brings great comfort and warmth to the residents of Ten-Do, but their heat causes seeds to grow more plentiful in the mortal world as well. They are believed to be the servants of the first Empress, Jingu, and guard Umi, the sacred fire of Hymukai. When they appear in the mortal world, either great prosperity or great misery will come. 

Its a Phoenix, Japanese-style. Like Byakko and Genbu, the Suzako (which is its real Japanese name) is one of four beings who rule nature (in this case birds) and represent the four Cardinal Directions, in this case south, and one of the four seasons, summer, as well as the color red, fire, and is important to the concept of balance in Taoism as well as representing 7/28 of the constellations in the night sky. The Chinese version is Zhū Què, or "Vermilion Bird". Early Shinto heavily used the Taoist approach and Kyoto, the traditional capital of Japan, was built to correspond to many of its principles while Suzako adorned gates throughout the city as its protector. 

<gallery>

</gallery> 

* Baku

Level 4 Celestial. Baku have lion-like bodies and elephant/tapir-like heads. They are very large, and come in many colors including black and pink. 

Baku eat dreams (again, the Pokemon Drowzee and Hypno were based on them), magic, and curses. They can be invoked as a healer or guardian for the spiritually afflicted. 
They are perhaps the most ardent enemies of evil, causing any Infernal being great fear. Baku normally dwell in the Celestial prairies.

=====Earthly Creatures=====
Many Earthly Creatures are Kami, either those who's hedonism or rural behavior got them booted out of Ten-Do, or who prefer to have real jobs. They vary greatly in alignment and behavior. 

* Tanuki

Level 1 Earthly Creature. Those raccoon things Mario turned into in Super Mario Bros. 3. Tanuki are bipedal raccoon men who carry a symbol of each of the eight elements at all times, and are tremendously lucky which also blesses those near them. 

Tanuki are lazy bastards who prefer to guzzle sake and laze about with women while sampling delicious food all day, but are masters of disguise and naturally prone to trickery which they use if upset. 

Tanuki are real life animals in Japan, and in old Shinto were considered the masters of all nature which doesn't directly serve a Kami (so not foxes or crows) although they later got demoted to just a silly minor spirit. They have oversized scrotum, which is exaggerated to the point of ludicrousness in visual depictions. Thankfully the Kensei miniature isn't playing his balls like drums, because apparently that's a thing folklore Tanukis do. 

<gallery> 
Image:Tanuki Single.jpeg
Image:Tanuki Trio.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Kappa

Level 1 Earthly Creature. Pokemon fans will remember Golduck as being a Kappa. Kappas are basically bipedal turtles, and vary in depiction from being just that or having lean bodies and duck bills. Kensei strikes the balance between turtle and [[The Dark Crystal|Skeksis]]. 

Kappas are usually nasty creatures who live in or on the shore of rivers, and are more Infernal than Earthly in behavior. They eat children, rape women, and if they see an exposed anus they use their lightning fast speed to reach into it and pull out intestines to eat raw (no, seriously, look it up). That being said, myths also portray some as kind-hearted or at least True Neutral, with Kappas becoming guardians and friends of people who give them cucumbers or write names on cucumbers and leave them by rivers. Apparently they also taught mankind how to use nets. 

Hymukai Kappa just stick to being baby-eating rapists. 

The top of a Kappa's head is concave, and inside is water like a bowl. They are creatures who value manners and customs greatly, so bowing to one forces them to bow in return which makes the water pour from their head. They become immobilized until the next time their head fills with water, so likely until the next rain unless some kind or foolish soul (depending on the personality of the Kappa) helps them. The other way to defeat them is to lead a cow or some similar animal to the water, as once the Kappa reaches into it's anus the animal's sphincter keeps the arm in place, with the Kappa frantically attempting to free itself until tearing it's own arm off and dying of blood loss. 

<gallery>

Image:Kappa Trio.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Karasu Tengu

Level 2 Earthly Creature. Identified just as "Tengu" on the model. Tengu are men with the head and feet of crows who carry Naginata. 

Those who pursue great knowledge in life can become a Tengu after death, with Karasu being the lower caste of Tengu who serve the higher caste. Arrogance can also lead to becoming a Tengu, and humans who are arrogant or clever are much more likely to encounter Tengu in their travels. Karasu enjoy partying and practical jokes, being the college fratboys of Tengu. They congregate in mountains, with their lights and drifting sound of drums being the indications they are around. 

<gallery> 
Image:Karasu Tengu.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Dai-Tengu

A level 2 Earthly Creature. The higher class Tengu. They are the greatest scholars who become Tengu, and resemble large red-skinned men with massive and long noses. 

Dai-Tengu are very benevolent beings, who live at the tops of Cedar and Pine trees near places of spirituality and learning, using impressive magic and martial arts skills in defense of these places. They also sometimes abduct human babies, returning them to their parents after only a few years with the child (now only a toddler) having a bright future thanks to their massive intellect and mastery over whatever skills the Tengu saw fit to teach until almost masters of the craft. 

In real life Japan, Tengu are important figures in folklore and Dai-Tengu masks are iconic of the culture. A lot of old fashioned porn also involved Tengu noses being used as dildos. The more you know!

<gallery>

Image:DaiTengu 2.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Genbu

A level 3 Earthly Creature. Genbu, also called "The Black Warrior", is a giant bipedal turtle with a snake for a tail. 

Like Byakko, Genbu is a single being rather than a species. Genbu is the spirit who guards the direction North, and is a symbol of wisdom and longevity. Unlike the more social Byakko, Genbu is reclusive although he freely dispenses his wisdom to any who seek him out. He knows all languages known to humans, and is almost impossible to harm. He also guards the universes greatest treasures and secrets faithfully. 

<gallery>

</gallery> 

* Sesho-Sekki

A level 3 Earthly Creature. Looks like a naturally-formed golem, covered in moss and growth. Once again, the Pokemon Geodude and their evolutions plus Snorlax are the parallel. 

Sesho-Sekki are called "Assassin Stones" due to being extremely hostile and attacking anything who comes near them with single-minded fury that comes from being disturbed. They are hard to avoid, looking no different than the rest of the landscape until they move. They move far faster than anything made of stone should naturally move, and drain energy from their foe as they fight. Once they destroy their target they return to slumber, although they can fight entire battles without actually waking up fully. 

<gallery> 
Image:SeshoSeki 1.jpeg
Image:SeshoSekki 2.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Mizuchi

A level 4 Earthly Creature. Also called "Misuchi", it's a giant Eastern Dragon (you knew it was coming) with deer horns, whiskers, and a long serpent-like body. Think Falkor, with the habits of Gyarados. 

They breathe poison gas and acid, and sleep at the bottom of large lakes. Mizuchi are the strongest creatures in the Kuni, and taking one on requires a LOT more than one British dude in a metal tuxedo. Mizuchi really represent the massive "fuck you" nature can give if you hassle with seemingly defenseless things, pretending to be a wounded deer and completely obliterating hunters who attack it as a pass-time among other things. 

Mizuchi also control rain. 

<gallery> 
Image:Mizuchi 1.jpeg
Image:Mizuchi 2.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Daidarobotchi

A level 4 Earthly Creature. An EXTREMELY powerful Kami, a shapeshifting spirit who appears to be made out of the landscape and without knowing it a traveller can be on top of one. They can be a mountain, a hill, a tree, a waterfall, or anything else natural. The Kensei model looks like a statuesque treeman. 

Daidarobotchi create life, and can reshape the landscape at will. They hate anything that destroys nature, and everything from ant to yew (even you) is under their protection. They are the parents of all of nature; fuck with the forest, overfish or hunt a region, or reroute a river at your own peril. After they crush you, they'll restore the damage you caused as if you were never there. 

tl;dr the forest spirit from the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eG_O1wEJ40 Fantasia 2000 Firebird Suite] after a few levels in badass

=====Creatures of Death=====

* Jubokko
A giant monster tree with a vertical split mouth in its "trunk" full of teeth. Appearing as if just a tree, Jubokko have developed a vampiric thirst for blood after having so much spilled on them in war. At night it becomes active, draining the juices from men until only brittle bones remain. 

Jubokko myths were common to all regions of Japan, although its been suggested it was invented by folklorists combining similar myths in the more recent era. Basically trees, often but not always, at former battlefields that had so much blood spilled they began to thirst for it. They capture living beings to drain to sate their new thirst. Jubokko always appear to be the healthiest tree around, and if cut bleed like human rather than leak sap. Their "blood" and extracts have healing properties. 

<gallery> 
Image:Jubokko.jpeg
Image:Jubokko Mini.JPG
</gallery>

* Shinigami

A Kami of death, appearing as a rotund giant monk wearing tattered clothing and carrying a pot full of souls. 

The Shinigami seeks ownership of souls, and causes feelings of dread and hopelessness to cause civilians to commit suicide, or soldiers to lose their will to live so it can collect their souls as well. 

Shinigami are popular in modern Japanese fiction (mostly anime), but are a relatively new concept. They appeared in Edo period fiction which dwelled on suicide and accidental avoidable deaths as a supernatural explanation, and many spirits and even gods like Izanami were retroactively considered types of Shinigami. Also thanks to their new nature there isn't a universally agreed-upon version of them; sometimes they are more like ghosts that possess people and cause them to commit suicide in the same way they themselves did, other times they are unhappy or corrupted (such as by pollution of their domain) spirits who cause depressed and suicidal feelings in humans, and very rarely were used as grim reaper figures. The latter is the most popular interpretation today. 

<gallery>

* Goryo

See Undead army entry above. 

<gallery> 
Image:Goryo 1.jpeg
Image:Goryo 2.jpeg
</gallery> 

* Ao Bozu
A diminutive blue-skinned cyclopean monk. 

Originally appeared as a sketch and the name Aobozu with no attached story in a famous book compiling various rural ghost myths from the late 1700's. Plenty have elaborated on the myth since then, and Ao Bozu can be anything from a child-snatching boogeyman to a monk who mutated due to studying too much or too little to a benevolent Kami. The name refers to the colors blue or green and has symbolic meaning of inexperience. In old Shinto myths, one-eyed beings are usually connected to ancient and cruel deities who were defeated by more benevolent ones and can be warded away by anything with a lot of holes, like a woven basket, since it reminds them of many eyes and either confuses, scares, or angers them. 

<gallery>

* Gaikotsu

A level 3 Yokai. Gaikotsu are giant skeletons animated by the souls of those who starved to death. They haunt the Kuni in search of men to eat. It usually attacks those who are alone or in small groups. Before it attacks, its prey hear a buzzing or ringing in their ears. 

Its name simply means "Skeleton" and it isn't based on any particular myth. Gaikotsu borrows most from the Japanese myth of Gashadokuro/Odokuro, as above in in the Undead army but applied to groups of large skeletons rather than an individual giant. 

The Kensei Gaikotsu wears armor and carries a No-Dachi.

* Oni
Death also gets an Oni. 

<gallery>

</gallery>

* Onmoraki

A level 3 Yokai. A dark buzzard-like Yokai born from the suffering of battlefield dead. A being causing immense fear to those who see it, the Onmoraki travels from battlefield to battlefield consuming pain and souls to grow stronger. 

In the origin myth, they are giant birds with black feathers and human faces. They are born when a soul doesn't receive enough funerary prayers, and primarily harass priests who neglect their duties by imitating their own voice and acting as a guilty conscience or otherwise terrifying them.

=====Misc Creatures=====

* Bakeneko

The Bakeneko is a naked woman with [[Felinid|cat-like features]]. 

The model was produced for the Indiegogo campaign and was initially only given to those who were early backers. It does not yet have rules, but in theory should be quite strong. 

A Bakeneko is a housecat who has lived long enough to become magical. At their seventh year of life, wicked or mistreated cats will kill their owners and any other humans they wish. At twelve or thirteen years, they become powerful Yokai who can shapeshift, communicate with other supernatural creatures in addition to humans, and bring great luck or misfortune at will.

* Undead Ninja
Ninja who are Undead.

<gallery>

* Kasha
A demonic-looking furry creature with two tails.

In Japanese myth, Kasha are Yokai that steal human corpses for unknown reasons. In many versions of the story the Kasha is just a burning guise Nekomata (old magical cats) adopt to obtain corpses for their mischief. Otherwise, its an unrelated cat-like being. 

<gallery>

* Enenra
A vaporous Undead being in the shape of a man made of skulls. 

Enenra are, strangely enough, not a hostile Yokai in their original myth. They are the spirits who dwell in bonfires, emerging as smoke vaguely in the shape of a human to greet those that are pure of heart.

* Satiro Kai
A monster of some kind. Origin unknown.

<gallery>
Image:Satiro Kaipng.png
</gallery>

* Akaname
A monstrous humanoid on all-fours who's tongue drags on the ground. 

One of the strangest, and either silliest or most horrifying depending on how its portrayed, creatures in Japanese mythology. Its name, Aka, can mean filth or the color red so most depictions are of it being red or of a flushed skin tone. It looks like a small feral human with a hunch, making it look even smaller. They are completely naked and their skin is covered in sores and grease as they never clean themselves. They  sometimes only have one eye, and between two and ten fingers/toes. 
Using their long prehensile tongue, they consume filth wherever it can be found (although were a person to enter an unlocked outhouse or bath at night when the Akaname is consuming the filth within it won't pass up on the opportunity for fresh meat). That being said, Akaname are mostly just a boogyman used to explain why very small children are afraid of the toilet and are only rarely portrayed seriously. 

<gallery>

* Gashadokuro
Gashadokuro, also called Odokuro, is a massive skeleton who can reach through buildings like a ghost and pluck samurai from within to eat. Motivated solely by hunger, in some versions a Gashadokuro is born when skeletons of those who starve to death merge. Anytime you hear ringing in your ears, its the sound of a Gashadokuro lurking somewhere in the countryside stalking some prey. In some versions of the myth he has no lower body and drags his spine or pelvis on the ground behind him, causing the ringing despite being otherwise silent. In other versions of the myth he keeps a fake beating heart in his ribcage while his real one is shriveled, looking like a stone set in a ring on his pinky. He challenges would-be attackers to take a free shot at his fake heart before he devours them, while in those stories the protagonist realizes somehow and shoots the real heart. 
Gashadokuro was one of the minor villains of the Laika film Kubo And The Two Strings, and is the largest stop motion puppet ever made at over 18 feet tall.

* Abura Shumashi
A short creature that looks like a gray-skinned man in peasant attire. 

Abura-Sumashi are minor Yokai in Japanese myth that only haunt a particular mountain pass near Kusazumigoe in Kumamoto. They surprise travelers or banter with the elderly, but otherwise have no mischief or harm. They are those who were punished for stealing oil (very valuable back in the day) by being reincarnated as a man with stone skin (in some versions, he's made of roots and even potatoes). Now they guard the regions were the leaves the oil they stole is extracted from grow.
