Chizaro no Oni

Chizaro no Oni

The first Chizaro no Oni was a creation of Maho summoned from Jigoku by an unknown Scorpion Shugenja in the City of Lies. The oni escaped and went on a rampage throughout the city until local magistrates killed it. Since then Chizaro no Oni became a breed of similar oni, maybe through the gate at Volturnum, and plagued Hiruma lands. They had long, deadly talons and were most often red in color. [1]

Abilities[]

Chizaro no Oni spawned at will its podlings from the back, and these 'children' would dissolve after one hour. The Minor Oni were the size of toddlers, with spiderlike legs, claws, and three glowing orange eyes. The oni had also an acidic saliva which would break appart the victims' tissue. [2]

Summoned[]

Chizaro[]

Shosuro Chizaro, a Maho-tsukai and bandit at Ryoko Owari Toshi summoned Chizaro no Oni and bargained his name for a task. The oni had to find a specific box of ones Chizaro's bandits had stolen and later sold. The Oni eager to fulfill the deal came to the city seeking the box during the Bon Festival. [3] Inside there were Porcelain Masks which could raise an undead army. [4]

Oni Rampage[]

A Chizaro no Oni appeared at the Inn of the Orange Blossom at Ryoko Owari Toshi to kill several Crane dignataries. It took the life of Doji Usiina and Daidoji Anitano before the oni escaped, but another of the targets, Doji Juzo, survived. [5] He later came to the house of the local Crane hatamoto, Doji Tsumetsu. [6] It eventually found the sought item, a Porcelain Mask, in the shop of a ronin merchant called Whisper, but a group of samurai appeared and the oni fled. [7]

Destruction[]

The Oni followed their tracks to the House of the Water Lilies at Teardrop Island, and began another fight, killing the merchant Whisper. The samurai outmanouvered the oni and it disintegrated into a puddle of black tar. [8]
