Jimen no Oni

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

Jimen no Oni is the greater Elemental Terror of Earth. It takes the form of a living mountain that has been sculpted into a shape vaguely like an ogre. It stands approximately 15 feet tall and the ground shakes when they move because of their size and strength. They are relatively simple creatures, compared to their strength, and require nothing more than some earth soaked in blood for their services. In battle they seek out the opposition which appears to be the strongest and attack. They are, unlike many of the denizens of Jigoku, able to take commands, which makes them quite useful as soldiers. They know they are not the smartest among the other Elemental Terrors, but they are the strongest, and their understanding of this makes them very dangerous. ^[1]

[edit] Smaller Jimen

Some smaller versions of Jimen no Oni, known simply as Jimen, also exist. Isawa Nakamuro, Asako Bairei and Hitomi Maya encountered three such creatures in the Phoenix Mountains in their search for the Dark Covenant of Fire. It was believed that the three Jimen were in fact created by the Dark Covenant. ([1])
