The grimelickers, finally, I really wondered whether they would ever come up. And these are the freakiest yokai so far, the others are really tame and mundane looking for my standards.

A human faced bovine that predicts the future is nothing. In fact, so far, these yokai have been incredibly mundane in both look and behavior from my perspective.

While it is interesting to read certain lesser known details about well known yokai, like the nue once being a bird or the one-eyed rascal possibly originating with human sacrifice where the potential victim gets his eye poked out before, I have the problem that most of these yokai are already familar to me.

Mostly these snow woman stories sound quite different from this one popular tale. The latter is full of romance and all and apparently a creation by a guy called Hearn which became popular in Japan and used common japanese folklore motives.

So the Feejee mermaid came from Japan and originally was supposed to present a ningyo.

So the human faced tree may have originated from a Persion illustration of Alexander the Great.
