Physical Description

Resembling Demon-like Ogres, the Yokaijin possess different powers and temperaments, most of all their third eye which gives them more than just enhanced sight, it is also capable of sensing magical distortions as well. Yokaijin are notable for the deceptively tall, lanky frames and long limbs which they use to deftly weave and navigate threats and environments with ease. Their monstrous visage is accompanied by sharp nails, protruding tusked jawlines and wild, fiery manes. Yokaijin are known to wear clothing and armour of exquisite quality and magical power, hinting to others that their culture and craftsmanship is not to be underestimated.
