Beastiary of the East: The Oni

SampleWritten By G.L.K file The Oni

Oni are a powerful race of fiendish ogres that hail from the spiritlands and the one thousand hells. Oni are a strange race who generally despise the more advanced civilizations and bully lesser Shinigami and Bakemono to fight for the Great Asura lords in destroying or ruling over the humanoid races in utter domination.

The Oni generally have very distinct colors and these colors represent their elemental affinities as well as their rankings. The lowest Oni are the brown or Horned Oni (brown) who only have the power to turn their skin to stone and deliver powerful charges, but they are still deadly to an average human and used as the common soldier in Oni Armies followed closely by Maho no Oni and Kazan no Oni.

The Kazan no Oni is a furious sargeant of the lower oni and bakemono and his skin is crimson red and as he gets angrier and angrier his raged litterally burns hotter and hotter

Immediately above him are the sly Green Oni, who heal other oni and use their vampiric claws to steal blood from their enemies to heal themselves. They are rather sadistic and jealous, especially of more powerful oni and sometimes enjoy manipulating two Oni to fight amongst themselves.

The Gozu no Oni are stalwart guards of the Oni camps and higher Oni and Akuma lords. These are blue, bull headed oni who use the powers of ice and illusion to control the battlefield and slow their foes.

Mezu no Oni are the aristocratic Sarjeants and cavalry of the Oni Armies, these dark Violet oni can fly on storm clouds and lead their allies on thunderous charges or hit their enemies with devastating flanking charges. They appear like centaurs fused with ogres.

Finally the Oni who have achieved full Demonhood from their Asura masters are known as Tora no Oni (Golden) and these powerful Tiger Demons leap into battle with their four powerful arms, slaughtering swarms of enemies or butchering the Samplegreatest enemy champions before the enemy's terrified file armies.

They are strong and powerful foes for the average ashigari or village. They generally live the mountainous or hilly wilderness and caves and act as the rank and file elite soldier of the Oni armies.

Strangely enough the Yama no Oni or Tsuno is also the least evil and many of them form into rebellious and simple tribes Charge. If the Yama-no-oni moves at least 10 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a gore attack on the same turn, the target that live in the mountains and act as mercenaries or even guardians of villages. Though these Oni are powerful in battle they takes an extra 9 (2d8) piercing damage.

Burning Rage (Recharge 5-6). The Kazan no Oni flies into a rage and it catches on fire in immediate area around it. Each creature in that area near the Oni (5 feet-10 feet-20 feet maximum) should roll a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 6 (1d6+2) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. This ring of fire lasts for 1d6+2 turns and the Oni can now add 1d4 fire damage (3d4 maximum fire damage) to every attack it makes. If Burning Rage recharges the Red Oni can use his recharge as a reaction to renew the burning rage as well as gain a new rage counter and the fire damage get's cumulative so a Red Rage Oni can deal 2d6+4 fire damage or maximizes at 3d6+6 fire damage to all enemies or even allies withing 20 feet around the oni as the Oni becomes a literally inflamed raging behemoth. Basically as The Red Mountain Oni gets more and more angry the hotter and greater the fire on his body gets. This effect can be dispelled or a rage counter can be removed from a source of Ice/Cold damage. The Red Mountain Oni also gains advantage in combat but all his enemies gain combat advantage against him as he flies into this reckless rage. Other Akaiyama no Oni do not have thier burning rage stack in a cumulative manner in a shared area but the one with the strongest burning rage wins out in the effected area so if one Akaiyama no Oni is at full 3d6+6 fire damage his auraSample wins out with two other Akaiyama no Oni in close proximity. file Maho no Oni[edit] Large fiend, chaotic evil
