The Story of the Oni

Oni are one of the greatest icons in Japanese folklore.  They stand taller than the tallest man, and come in many varieties. Commonly depicted with colored skin, wild hair, two or more horns, and fang-like tusks.

Oni are born when someone truly villainous dies.  Transformed into oni, they become the ogreish and brutal servants of Great Lord Enma, ruler of hell. Typically wielding great clubs, they deliver vicious punishments to those deemed wicked, but not enough to be reborn as Oni.

In modern terms, the Oni is considered a demon, ogre or troll.  They are popular creatures in Japanese art, literature and theatre.
