Nairu no Oni

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

Nairu no Oni are winged Oni. In 1168 during the retreat from the Battle at the Tomb, a Nairu no Oni severly injured Yoritomo Katoa but was killed by the Mantis. ^{[citation needed]}

Nairu no Oni are about the size of an average human. They are grey-skinned wothj sharp claws, huge leathery wings, and a very strong grip. They attack their prey with a quick swoop and take the carcass back to a secluded area.

[edit] Nairu no Oni and Daigotsu

Nairu no Oni are typically scavengers,Most creatures of the Shadowlands ignore them because of that. But when Daigotsu came to power, he saw use for these oni. Daigotsu placed the Nairu no Oni in the rear of his armies for support. While they were of little use in combat, they could carry other oni to places far away, allowing for more compex assaults on the Kaiu Wall.
