Editing Tanuki (section)

===MGE===
In the [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]], the only tanuki monstergirl to show up so far is the Gyoubu Danuki - based on some regional variation/spelling of the word, it's hard to say; Japanese yokai lists are complicated and incestuous tangles. This monstergirl is a scheming, sneaky thing who uses her intelligence and adeptness at financial matters to amass power through the role of a merchant or moneylender. These sketchy business-owners freely engage in schemes like selling corruptive monster-goods to human women and using their money to entrap men in webs of debt and wage slavery so they can take them as their lovers, earning them a well-deserved reputation as dangerous and untrustworthy - and no, the fact that a married danuki becomes more honest because she's no longer out to trap a man doesn't help.

As can be seen in their picture, gyoubu danuki resemble petite girls (if not [[loli]]s) with tanuki ears, mask-like colorations on their faces, tanuki tails, and super-fluffy calf-wrappings shaped to be reminiscent of the infamous tanuki ball-sack.

These mamono may be inspired by [[Touhou|Mamizou Futatsuiwa]], who is herself a tanuki merchant in Gensokyo, although far more honest in her dealings than the MGE's gyoubu danuki. Alternatively, they may be based in real myths of tanuki pretending to be merchants to play pranks on people.
