A region I have neglected for far too long has been Asian, and Japan more specifically. The culture in the east is so rich and depthy that I feel bad for not covering more of it. So today I bring you the Oni! The Oni is a monster of sorts that has a varied origin story. Some say it's a demon, others a spirit of some kind. To some, they are protectors, others; tormentors. One thing most can agree on though is that they are scary AF. They generally have the same description throughout time, and the mask is one that is famous the world over.
