Divine Beings & Sacred Beasts

About This Species

Yokai that are revered as divine or semi-divine beings, often serving as protectors or bringers of fortune. These include the zashiki-warashi (house spirits that bring prosperity), kirin (sacred beasts of wisdom), and hakutaku (the all-knowing sacred beast). These entities occupy the boundary between yokai and kami (gods), and are often worshipped or venerated rather than feared.
