 Nurikabe 

Species: Mimic, Shape-Shifter

Habitat: Highways between settlements (Zipangu Region)

Disposition: Mischievous, Friendly

Diet: Spirit Energy of men

An unusual mamono, a Nurikabe possesses the form of a young woman embedded into a fleshy wall. Able to move the human part of her body freely, a Nurikabe can assume any position that she wishes to pose in as long as she is connected to the wall part of her body. The fleshy wall can change its shape so that it appears to be made of wood or stone. This shape-shifting ability not only allows a Nurikabe to appear like a normal wall, it also allows protection of its vulnerable human part by hiding beneath a layer of hardened stone or wood. In addition, Nurikabe possess two pairs of legs beneath the wall part of their bodies which allow them to move freely with surprisingly speedy agility and can be retracted when disguising themselves as walls.

Generally harmless by nature even during the age of the previous Demon Lords, Nurikabe would often block the way of travellers who travel at night as a seemingly infinite wall unless the lower left part of the wall is given a knock to dispel the illusion. In the current age of the Demon Lord, the same action is just as effective in dispelling the illusion of a seemingly infinite wall but it will also cause the mischievous mamono to suddenly reveal her naked human part and embrace the man. If the man responds in a friendly or flustered manner, the Nurikabe will take it as a sign of acceptance and will quickly try to claim him as her husband. Dragging him into the wall part of her body, she will mate with him while inside safety of the wall.

Once a Nurikabe has a husband, she will continue to play harmless pranks on him even in the daytime as a wall blocking his path. However, her disguises could be deliberately poor which makes it easy for her husband to detect her mischief and respond in kind, which usually leads to lovemaking as a result. Given their friendly and harmless natures, Nurikabe are popular playmates for children who want to play hide and seek, especially Kunoichi children.

On a raunchier note, due to their ability to assume any position that they wish pose in as long as their human parts are connected to the wall part of their bodies, Nurikabe have been known to play pranks on men by assuming the form of a naked woman trapped in a wall to entice them. If the Nurikabe is unmarried, she may humour their lustful desires or assume her true form and flee, effectively denying the men of their sexual release out of playful mischief. Not surprisingly, this tactic can also be used by Nurikabe to lure in men who strike their interest as potential husbands, and as a means to make their sex lives with their husbands more exciting. It should be reminded that, like all mamono, married Nurikabe are devoted wives who would not cheat on their husbands despite retaining their mischievous ways and would thus only play such pranks with their husbands.
