Story
A legend in the Japanese provinces tells of a beast with a head of long, black hair, wielding sharp claws, large fang-like teeth for ripping flesh, and the ability to breath devouring foxfire that burns flesh, but damages nothing else. They say it was once a man, but murdered and made into a beast that devours human flesh with hungry jaws and flesh-ripping fangs.

The Otoroshi has taken many victims, burning them with foxfire, ripping them open, and leaving only the bloodied bones and inedible organs of his victims. His kill count is ever-rising, as he can never be satisfied with just human flesh. His eyes are blood-red, with a stare that pierces the soul, and instills terror within all who look at him. His life is actually quite sad, as he has to constantly eat human flesh, and will never be satisfied.

From autopsy reports of some victims, they were alcoholics, and from those who knew them, some were abusive to their families, some of them even being pedophiles or rapists. It never killed people of pure heart and spirit, seemingly leaving them as witness to what happens to those of murderous intent that enter the shrines.
