Humanoids & Apparitions

About This Species

Yokai that take a human or near-human form. This category includes beings like the tengu—long-nosed mountain ascetics with supernatural martial prowess—as well as the mysterious yuki-onna (snow woman), the faceless noppera-bō, and many other entities that blur the line between human and supernatural. Their human-like appearance often makes encounters with them all the more unsettling.
