Kinjiro no Oni

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

Kinjiro no Oni led a small group of Shadowlands creatures in an assault on the sparsly defended Tidal Landbridge along the coast controlled by the Crab Clan. His incursion led to the Battle of Tidal Landbridge in 715. Kinjiro was swallowed by the rising sea at high tide while fighting the forces of Daidoji Daimyo Daidoji Masashigi. ^[1][2]

[edit] Description

Kinjiro no Oni resembles a gigantic man-o'-war jellyfish. Its body is nearly liquid, and the tentacles coming from its body can be hundreds of feet long. It possesses a paralyzing touch, and secretes acid around its tentacles to sever limbs from its victims. ^[3]

[edit] Fate

The Kinjiro no Oni is still trapped along the Coast of Dark Mist, still pinned to a rock by Kotoku, the yari wielded by Daidoji Masashigi. It cannot create spawn or reanimate due to its distance from the Shadowlands, but can survive indefinitely, mostly due to the absorption of the essences of its entire army and the fallen Crane in the area.^{[citation needed]}
