Natsumono

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

Natsumono are the spawn of the First Oni. Since it's defeat by Shiba during the War Against Fu Leng the First Oni was unable to return to the mortal realm, and instead began sending it's spawn in. Although most oni share their name with their spawn, the First Oni did not wish to share Fu Lengs power with any other oni. Ntsumono do not have the same shapeshifting abilities as the First Oni, and their appearance varies very little from oni to oni. They are approximately five to seven feet tall, and have a bizarre shape as if they were the hands of the First Oni itself. They have green skin covering their entire body except for a single eye at the crown of the head which shines with a blood red light. They have five thick limbs attached to their body in something that resembles a hand, and a large mouth with razor sharp teeth is located on the underside of the body. The Natsumono attack by tripping their opponenets and then leaping on top of them, holding them down and biting chunks out of their victim's flesh. They are extremely agile, and make use of all five limbs for movement. Natsumono are even capable of spawning smaller oni that will fight at their side. These smaller oni have no minds of their own, and are just physical extensions of the natsumono's will. Once the Natsumono has defeated it's foes it will devour it's spawn as well. Against weaker opponents the natsumono prefers to defeat them alone. (CoR3E p. 139)
