NAME: Nurarihyon

DESCRIPTION
A Japanese yokai said to originate from Wakayama Prefecture.
It is also sometimes believed to be descended from the Umibo-
zu of Okayama Prefecture. The Nurarihyon is usually depicted
as an old man with a gourd-shaped head and wearing a kesa, a
robe worn by Buddhist monks and nuns. He is sometimes said
to be leader of the yokai. The Nurarihyon will sneak into
someone's house while they are away, drink their tea, and act as
if it is their own house. Because it looks human, anyone who Points
sees him will mistake him for the owner of the house, making it
very hard to expel him. Ki Energy: 18
Exp. Points: 8
