Description

In Japanese mythology it is giant mounds of skulls and severed heads that look on people. They begin as masses of individual skulls, which in the end they stick together and form a massive mound in the shape of a skull. Macoraba known only to those that do one thing: look at people. If you win the competition in the "peepers", the skull will disappear without a trace.

Its origin began in the history of the warlord Taira no Kiyomori (Taira no Kiyomori). He meets the creature in his garden.

Kimori out in your garden. He is shocked to see that he is full of skulls. Moreover, the skulls rotate, left, right and everywhere, falling over each other. There were too many to count. Kiyomori shouted for help, but nobody heard him.

It was then that countless skulls began to gather in the middle of the garden, slips, forming one giant mass. They created one huge skull, the size is about 45 meters!

Huge lot of skulls stared at Kiyomori of the countless sockets. Kiyomori sighed and regained his courage. Then he looked again at the skull.

It took a little time. Finally, the mass of the skulls fell apart, melting like a snowflake in the sun, and disappeared without leaving a trace.
