Ishigani

Their name translates to Rock Crab. They are a curious Yokai, with a rock-like body, human fingers for legs and stalked eyes. It appears in a book called Inoue Book of Monsters(Better translation needed, but the original Kanji is 稲生物怪録).

[Post #500!

It’s somehow reassuring to know that bondage-themed monsters have been popular in Japanese media for literally hundreds of years. Different interpretations of the kejoro are that she’s covered with hair, or that she’s literally made of hair. Guess which one I think is more interesting.]

Kejoro CR 5 CN Aberration Although this creature has the body outline of a shapely and attractive woman, it appears as if it made entirely out of thick hair. She wears a fine robe and the scent of tobacco smoke wafts from her.

A kejoro is a weird and hedonistic creature made entirely of hair. The scent of a kejoro is an intoxicating blend of magical pheromones that cloud the minds of humanoids, but leave other creatures unhindered. They are parasites on human society, posing as alluring maidens in order to rob and beat victims. Most kejoro are not killers, preferring to leave their prey bruised and confused, with a strange story of a long-haired woman who turned out to be a monster.

Although kejoro frequently masquerade as women, they do not have sexes in the same way as other creatures. A kejoro reproduces asexually several times throughout its life, splitting in a process of binary fission. They frequently act as adjutants and concubines to other urban monsters, reveling in physical sensation and the wealth and power they can accumulate. Most kejoro collect fine clothing, potent drugs, and other indicators of their devious decadence.

Inktober #6 @nightmaresyrup ‘s Sheetsona

Having just finished Emizels’ sheetsona when Nightmaresyrup posted theirs, it seemed rude not to draw it too. Kinda wish I hadn’t.  I knew it’d be much trickier and I really don’t like how the hood turned out. I think I should’ve started over at a certain point. I probably should’ve left out the patch too. I fiddled with the colors in Photoshop just to salvage it. End result is pretty good.

Red Ink Stars!
