'''Ashi no Oni''' are [[oni]] commonly found in the deserts and canyons of the [[Shadowlands]]. They will then lurk in caves or under the shifting sands.

Their bodies are grub-like, armored with a skin tough and leathery. They have multiple tentacles adorned with spikes sprouting everywhere on their sides. The darts at the end of their arms are dangerously poisonous and can be thrown by the beast at a tremendous velocity and distance (approximately 15 feet). Only full armor can hope to deflect those darts.

This type of oni is vulnerable to magic and its tentacles can be easily cut.

The '''Ianwa no Oni''' is a slothful creature, Fear incarnated. It was first sighted and identified by [[Hiruma Scout|Hiruma scouts]]. This [[oni]] will travel long distances in search for preys, seeking weak-willed people so as to use their fears.

It will them impose a threat to consume its prey unless they give a sacrifice. The demands of the Ianwa no Oni can range from trivial things like flowers or food to [[nemuranai]]. When the demand is satisfied, the oni will vanish.

However, once having been in contact with the oni, it will come back relentlessly to plague the victim. The value of the sacrifices increases over those encounters however Ianwa no Oni does not value the goods it is offered. It feeds on the fears inspired by its threats. It reveals itself only to its victims, who then seem completely mad : taking tremedous risks, contracting debts, becoming completely incoherent.

[[Kuni Mokuna]] advises to simply refuse to cooperate. This prospect seems easier said than done since the Fear inspired by the oni is enough to drive mad honorable and strong samurai.

It is said the lair of Ianwa no Oni, deep in the [[Shadowlands]], is full of the treasures its victims offered.

The '''Genso no Oni''' is one of the few intelligent [[oni]]. He has been able to master some of the most refined combat techniques.

==Description==
Genso no Oni is humanoid but his face is that of a greening demon. He wears a hakama in mockery of the samurai.

The Genso no Oni will usually spear with the samurai, mocking him, pointing faults with gleeful joy, and winning effortlessly. Only the most persistent, strong-willed samurai can hope to kill him, since this Oni is like a master at arms.<ref>''Book of the Shadowlands'' page 78</ref>
