Oni

[Back to creatures]

Vicious creatures created through dark, unspeakable rituals, Oni are fiendish spirits bonded to the physical form of a humanoid devoid of compassion. The ritual transforms the creature, making their skin take on a bright red or blue or green hue. Their teeth become enormous tusks, and horns sprout from their heads. Oni are believed to steal children at night and to cause nightmares when they pass nearby. Some cultures believe that certain pungent-smelling foods like garlic can keep Oni at bay.
