Tatsu - Usually found far away from human habitation, these majestic Japanese dragons are thought to be godlike in power and origin, and are heavily associated with water sources and stormy weather. They are capable of shapeshifting in order to interact with humans, and are often prayed to in the hope that they will bring good weather and productive harvests of crops. Some Buddhist temples maintain areas of holy ground dedicated to the wise dragons.

A-Yokai-A-Day: Nuppeppo | Matthew Meyer

He appears as a chunk of dead, rotting flesh walking about on its own. For such a horrible, nauseating description, most of the images of him are borderline cute. I couldn’t stand for that — a chunk of walking, dead flesh needs to be grotesque — so I made it just a bit less cuddly, with varicose veins and little hairs and rotting teeth. It might still be soft en

Dounotsura by ShotaKotake on DeviantArt

Dōnotsura - Similar to the Blemmyes, these warlike monsters are depicted in 19th century Japanese scroll art, and are said to be vicious and brash in nature. This behaviour is sometimes said to be due to their inability to be decapitated for their deplorable deeds, though it is likely that this is meant to be metaphorical rather than literal.

Jikininki are the Japanese spirits of selfish, greedy, or ungodly people who have passed on. They are said to be cursed to eat the flesh of human corpses. It is also said that they take valuables from the corpses, in order to bribe local law-enforcement officials to leave them alone. Unlike most demons, they actually hate what they are, and are in a constant state of self-disgust and self-loathing.
