Yama Uba

''The Yama Uba is demon from an age long forgotten, the centre of many a cautionary tale, a true horror and thing of nightmare. This shape shifting fiend is a terrifying foe, able to steal the abilities and form of any it touches, many a victim had no idea of their fate until the clicking and slicing sounds, of barbed claws piercing their soft flesh, reached their ears. Even when its true form is revealed the yokai of deceit and deception can vanish at will, a ghost in the dark, before emerging moments later to strike with deadly precision and speed.''
