Anyone interested in Shinto or any mythology at all should
visitPantheon. Seriously, it's a great site. The
Japanese Mythologian monsters are very scary, I'd say.
Yup.

What've you played, glass_eater?
I remember Pocky and Rocky to the SNES. A very funny, but
hard game.
Though, not a table-based one, but funny as heck, either
way. ^_^

The Kappas were evil. Very evil.
"In Japanese Shinto-religion, they are water spirits who
pull little children into the water and drown them, and
attack and fight travelers. They also attack animals,
including horses. They cannot live for long on the land, for
they must always keep their heads wet. They have long hair,
the body of a tortoise, scaly limbs, and an ape face. The
Kappas feed themselves with cucumbers and blood, and use
cucumbers to travel on them; these cucumbers fly like
dragonflies. Kappas are very intelligent and can be
propitiated by humans. They can be befriended by wise men to
whom they will teach the art of setting bones. They may once
have been wise monkeys."
