Gashadokuro - Born from the bones of those who died from starvation and left unburied, the Gashadokuro are massive skeletal yokai that tower fifteen to ninety feet tall, hunting humans in the dead of night with an insatiable hunger that can never be satisfied. Their approach is heralded by the sound of rattling bones—gachi gachi gachi—and their victims are crushed, devoured, and sometimes absorbed into the creature's ever-growing skeletal form.
