	Yamata-no-Orochi in [[Japan]]ese myth ~~was~~ a massive ~~Eight-headed Eight-tailed Dragon/Snake~~. ~~It makes an appearance in~~ in the ~~story~~ [[Susano'o]] ~~after being banished from heaven for pranking his sister [[Amaterasu]] (by going on a rampage through her lands and scaring your sisters weaver to death by throwing a flayed horse. Just a prank, bruh)~~.		The Yamata-no-Orochi is one of the most famous mythical beings of [[Japan]]ese mythology and one of the relatively few widely known examples of a truly evil [[dragon]] in Asiatic myth. Taking the form of a massive dragon or serpent with eight heads and eight tails, it actually acts a lot like a Western dragon, demanding sacrifices of virginal maidens for it to devour. Like a lot of famous named mythical beings, however, it actually only appears in a single story, which is the part of the myth of how the storm god [[Susano'o]] learned humility.

	~~Anyway~~, Susano'o came ~~across a couple~~ of ~~Earthly kami that were annually offering their daughters to~~ it ~~for 7 years to appease it and asked Susano~~'~~o to slay~~ it ~~before it ate their last daughter. As Classical Heroes are wont~~ to ~~do, he accepts~~ to ~~do so on the condition~~ of ~~marriage with said daughter~~. ~~He then filed eight giant bowls full of liquor so~~ the ~~monster would get drunk~~ and ~~then slay it, causing~~ the ~~local river~~ to ~~be flooded with its blood~~. ~~What made Orochi a better known story~~ was the ~~fact that~~ Susano'o ~~discovered a sword in its center tail which he used~~ to ~~bribe his way back to heaven and became one of the three sacred Regalia of the Emperor~~.		To cut a long story short, Susano'o was rampagining through the realms of his sister [[Amaterasu]] the sun goddess in Heaven, wreaking havoc as he went. The final straw came when he killed on of Amaterasu's horses, flayed it, then flung the skinless corpse into her palace's weaving room, where it either crushed one of her handmaidens to death or caused her to die of fright. This made Amaterasu run away and hide herself in a cave, plunging the Heavens and the Earth into darkness and forcing the other gods to have to coax her back out again - but that's it's own story. Once Amaterasu was back, the other gods kicked Susano'o out of Heaven and banished him to Earth.

	Most modern interpretations of Orochi (and beings based off of it, there are a lot of both) mostly focus on the whole eight-heads ~~ordeal~~ and tend to cast it as a great, if not greatest~~, evil~~.		Down on Earth, Susano'o came upon two Earth Kami weeping their own misfortune, who explained to him that for the past eight years, their holdings had been terrorized by the Yamata-no-Orochi, which had forced them to sacrifice one of their daughters every year in exchange for not destroying them - and now they were down to their last daughter; Kushi-inada-hime. In a bit of Classical Hero behavior, Susano'o offered to slay the beast if they would let him take their last daughter as his wife. They agreed, and he set out eight great barrels of strong liquor, waiting for Yamata-no-Orochi to drink them all and fall asleep before he summarily decapitated each of its eight heads. Then he chopped off its eight tails for good measure, finding the magical sword Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi in one of them; this sword became a sacred relic, one of the three Imperial Regalia of Japan that are traditionally born by the Emperor. In fact, the first Emperor of Japan was the firstborn son of Susano'o and Kushi-inada-hime.

			Most modern interpretations of Orochi (and beings based off of it, there are a lot of both) mostly focus on the whole eight-heads element and tend to cast it as a great evil, if not greatest of them all.

	Sadly, because of how badly the Kamigawa block was received, little else is known about the orochi. Which is a shame, because they would make a great race for an [[Oriental Adventures]] setting. Alas, their appearance in an article of [[Plane Shift]] is uncertain at best.		Sadly, because of how badly the Kamigawa block was received, little else is known about the orochi.
