This pale green vine can be found snaking along the ground or up the sides of trees. The veins of its teardrop shaped leaves resemble a spider-web patten. As the spring progresses, the vines begin to grow small seed pods that break open throughout the summer releasing the spiderweed’s seed.
The seeds are shaped like a tear-dropped and about the size of a sunflower seed. They are supported by six long, thin, white legs that it uses to walk in its mindless search for a warm, moist place in which to rest.
Normally the seeds pose no danger to humans, but they have been known to crawl into the open ears, mouths, noses and even open wounds of sleeping individuals. If they can get inside without waking the victim, they are able to germinate and grow. The first symptoms that something is wrong will appear about one week later, cramps, swelling and a general lethargy. A week after that, the growing vine will break through the skin and the victim will die within a matter of days. 
If caught before the second week, the plant can be killed through conventional medicine. After that it requires a magical cure. 

This seemingly harmless tree has leaves that resemble hands that wave and beckon in the wind. Though it may seem like a nice place to take a nap in out of the sun, scholars have debated wether this monster is a tree at all. As the leaves wave, they release a hypnotic scent that draws its victims towards it, where it grabs hold and swallows them into its trunk. If it has to, this tree can move, using its roots as tentacles.

This race of bird-men lives in the mountains and deep forests of the Tsukiakari Teikoku and beyond. A playful people, they possess a sometimes cruel sense of humor and are fond of pranks and jokes. They often steal from travelers and villages, but as they don’t have much use for money, such robberies usually consist of weapons or clothing with a special fondness for hats. Their fondness for practical jokes can become cruel, even fatal but usually only towards those people that they dislike. 
Averaging five feet tall, they are covered in feathers in almost any color and have a wingspan of fifteen feet. Their faces are bird-like with deep, powerful eyes, clawed feet and a falcon-like beak. They speak the language of birds but most know at least one language of the Empire. 
Agile creatures, they are skill swordsmen and possess a natural affinity for magic. Some have been known to be able to transform into humans, their beaks becoming prominent noses. When in human form they always carry a feather fan.

 Long ago, before the Sennyo came to the land, a proud and foolish Oni king bragged that he could conquer the sea. He called his army and marched to the shore where they caste their nets and waged a fierce battle against the relentless sea. Soon, their nets caught a daughter of the Sea king, and that night they feasted as the daughter roasted over a giant flame. When the Sea King heard of this, his anger called forth a great wave that crushed all the Oni King's armies. His wrath unquenchable, the Sea King then cursed all Oni so that none would have rest if they lay in his domain. 
And so the ghost of all drowned Oni become part of the Tsunami clan. These watery specters haunt the shore or ride the raging seas on ships dredged up from the watery depths. They appear as bloated and rotted Oni, dressed in rusted armor and broken swords. Their only goal seems to be to drag others down into their watery grave.

Damage: 
Waterblade: These weapons appear to be rusted and pitted blades, but in reality they have no real substance. When they hit an opponent, they explode like a heavy stream of water smashing against a wall, yet they reform in time for the next strike. They do damage by depositing layers of water inside the opponent, filling their lungs, mouths and bodies with brackish sea water, slowly drowning their victim. 
Damage: 9.  Any damage occurred vanishes 1h after a battle. 
 

Each head comes with its own special abilites and powers. Some have even  been known to caste spells. Like all dragons they are immensely curious and have an almost insatiable appetite for gossip. Of all the dragons, they are most likely to be found near human habitation.

"There is no promise of spring in the long white form of Yuki-Onna, for her mouth is the mouth of death and her ice-cold lips draw forth the life-blood of her unfortunate, and many victims."
(H.Davis. The Myths and Legends of Japan.)
A woman in dazzling white robes, with the whitest skin, ebony hair and lips of the deepest red, the Lady of the Snows is a vengeful spirit of the dead that appears during the frozen nights of winter to steal the warm lifeblood of her victims.
She has on occasion spared them on account of their youth, beauty or reasons unknowable except to herself.
