Description

According to Japanese folklore, a huge skeleton that wanders around the neighborhood in the dead of night. His teeth chatter and his bones rattle with a "gati-gati" sound. If he accidentally meets a late person, he slowly sneaks up, grabs him and bites off his head or flattens him into a flat cake.
