Name: Hitotsume-kozo
Title: Sapien Goblina
Homelands: Japan
Type of Offense: Trickery
Type of creature: One-eyed Goblins
Description: Hitotsume-kozô are monsters found in Japanese folklore. They are roughly the size of ten-year-old children, but otherwise resemble bald Buddhist priests. Their most distinctive feature, however, is a single, giant eye peering from the center of the face.
Hitotsume-kozô are relatively benign creatures, content to run about frightening human beings or telling loud people to be quiet (they enjoy silence). However, many people consider an encounter with a one-eyed goblin to be a bad omen. For this reason, the superstitious often leave bamboo baskets in front of their houses, as these are reputed to repel the creatures.
