In the beliefs in the northeast of Japan, the demon looks like a monkey with an elongated muzzle and lips. They steal the breath from sleeping people by sucking it out with pointed lips.

After sucking everything out, the yamatiti pat the victim on the chest, and then run away into the night.

A person whose breath was stolen in this way will die the next day.
