With Strange & Frightful Yokai Coloring, get to know the different types of yokai? and the folklore behind them as you color their images. No artistic experience is needed to bring these fantastical creatures to life-just choose your palette and start coloring through 60 unique templates. Explore a range of yokai? apparitions, including:Kappa ??? Translated as “river child,” kappa have some humanoid features, such as long arms and legs, but are largely aquatic with the beaks and shells of turtles.
Inhabiting rivers, streams, and other bodies of water, they are expert swimmers. Kappa are keenly intelligent creatures, being one of the few yokai to be able to speak human languages and can be friend or foe to people. Oni ?? One of the supreme icons of Japanese folklore, the oni is a demonic ogre that brings disaster and disease.
They stand taller than most trees and don wild hair and crazy eyes, two or more horns, and teeth-like tusks. They can be found on mountaintops, caves, remote islands, and in the underworld of hell. Much like the kappa, oni can be intelligent and are uniquely known as skilled sorcerers.
Tengu ????? Sovereign among the various tengu, the daitengu are human-like entities that wear the robe of a monk, have red faces, and especially long noses. The longer the nose, the more powerful the spirit. They spend their lives in solitary meditation in pursuit of perfection.
