Oni
Affiliation	Not specified
Type	Demon

There are some who say that the demonic, savage Oni originate in the Mists, others from someplace even more distant, dark, and cut off from the world of sanity. They are killers from beyond, appearing from nowhere to butcher their victims, for what reason no one knows. Whatever their purpose or origin, the Oni are among the most deadly things on two legs in Cantha.

[edit] Notes

• The Turtle Clan, as explained by Dauv Merishahl, believe that the Oni are Outcasts in an advanced state of corruption caused by Kanaxai.
• Sometimes when oni have spawned but have not yet aggroed, they will stand and make eerie beckoning gestures to the player. This behavior is most easily observed by the oni around the bridge in Rhea's Crater.

[edit] Trivia

• The Japanese word 'oni' literally means, 'demon'. In Japanese folklore they are invisible spirits or gods that cause disasters and have a taste for human flesh.
