A creature from Japanese mythology. These are terrible old women-witches of mountains and forests, who were born ordinary people, but turned into monsters. Sometimes she walks with horns or fangs, but most often she looks like an ordinary elderly woman. She usually tries to eat the guests, often using magic.
