List of legendary creatures from Japan
The best part is how specific some of these creatures are. My favorites, in list form (of course):
- Kappa—a famous water monster with a water-filled head and a love of cucumbers
- Kurage-no-hinotama—a jellyfish which floats through the air as a fireball
- Makura-gaeshi—the pillow-moving spirit (this one seems to like to torment me nightly!)
- Tankororin—an unharvested persimmon which becomes a monster
- Tōfu-kozō—a spirit child carrying a block of tofu
- Uma-no-ashi—a horse’s leg which dangles from a tree and kicks passersby (I want to come back as one of these!)
