Name: Tsukuyomi

Family: Bat

Type:Beastman

Habitat: varies

Disposition: Emotional; cunning.

Diet: Omnivorous A bat spirit with a strange connection to the moon. The ancient lore of Zipangu dictates: Originally, Amaterasu shared the sky with Tsukuyomi, her husband and brother until, out of disgust, he killed a goddess that upset him. This killing caused Amaterasu to label Tsukuyomi an evil god and split away from him, causing night and day.

This is the tale given by Zipangu residents, though the truth in it is dubious at best. Also, as all monsters have been converted to females thanks to the tampering of a certain succubus, Tsukuyomi are now definitively all female as well, despite what the legend infers.

Less is known about them than their sister beastman, the Amaterasu. It is known that they are bat beastman who prefer the night at all times. It is known that they are calm and composed, but can be vicious and conniving when someone or something attracts their ire. They have the ability to project a zone of freezing darkness around them that cuts off the opponents senses completely, except touch, so that their enemies feel like “They’re drifting in the vast depths of deep space.” Then, the Tsukuyomi will either attack the disoriented opponent, or flee for shelter.



They carry a distaste for sunlight, which too much of will burn their wings. They prefer to travel at night, and take shelter in caves and dark areas during the day, so they’re not often seen. One of the few exceptions is a Tsukuyomi who has already obtained a mate of its own. Tsukuyomi who possess mates find their own internal darkness increased, such that their able to go around in the sunlight without any problems. Furthermore, their darkness will cause their mates to feel light and very warm, inside and out, as if they were drawing away the cold of the moon and of space for them.

Tsukuyomi don’t carry the famed loyalty of their sisters, but they do carry a fierce sense of territoriality, of which their husbands are “territory,” so it can be considered the same. They aren’t jealous, but they are fiercely defensive, and will attack anyone who they deem as a threat to their husbands. Being intelligent, on the level of an Inari or Danuki, they will also plan about the best way to go about defeating their enemies. They are vengeful, can be malicious, and are not easily sated when angered, so it is a poor choice to aggravate one in this manner.

They seem to dislike their sister monsters more than the other way around, and thus carry an inherent distaste of dogs and canine beastman. It also carries a fear of serpents, storms, and the sea, though like its sister, though the exact reason is unknown.
