Random Favorite Yokai (Japanese Monsters)

[VampireLord1024VampireLord1024's icon]

Are there any yokai, (Japanese monsters) that you like? For example, the kappa.

While I myself don't know every yokai, I do know of the kitsune, yuki-ona, rokurobuki, kappa, aka manto, kuchisake-onna and whatever those other vampire women things were that could fly around with just their upper bodies.

The Jorogumo! I really like spiders in real life, so the idea that a spider who lives for a very long time can spontaneously become magical is cool to me. Speaking of real spiders, there are several orb-weavers native to East Asia that are named after the Jorogumo.

I love all tsukumogami yokai!

 

[Bakuma1997]

My favorite must be a no-brainer, The baku can go from fren shaped to horrific but cool looking beasts with benevolent goals (Eat bad dreams)

A second contender must be the Kitsune, enigmatic, slender, ominous, graceful and at times comical, i love foxes in general, so seein them ghostified make my heart content

Hm... several, but probably the Yuki Onna comes to mind readily for me.
