Skyvixxix


The Skyvixxix are flying vampiric creatures, formed from ectoplasm and infused with the splintered souls and emotions of the victims of violent deaths. Occasionally they are able to manifest on the physical plane, where they enjoy sucking blood and fluids from living things.

Bloody Mary


Bloody Mary is a ghost who appears to those foolish enough to summon her. She can be brought forth by calling her name in a dark room or a room lit by candle light while staring into a mirror. Young women who are brave enough to invoke her spirit may be able to catch a glimpse of their future husband's face. Those who endure the ritual may find themselves the victim of strange cuts or bruises.

El Cuco


El Cuco is a ghost-like bogeyman type figure from the folklore of Spain, Portugal, as well as various Latin American countries. He is depicted in multiple different, usually horrifying ways, the most common being a huge troll-like man, covered in hair, with a Jack O'Lantern as a head and carrying a huge sack in which to abduct children.

Parents often warn their children that if they don't behave, El Cuco will come and get them.

FlooBoo

FlooBoos are liquid ghosts, which exist under the water. They are generally the spirits of long departed sailors, fishermen, or pirates, who for one reason or another have chosen to stay behind for an eternity under the waves. Most of them have existed so long as to have forgotten all of their Earthly connections. They are generally friendly, and will guide ships through dangerous storms.

Sprylight

Sprylights are the spirits of extra-dimensional entities who eons ago found themselves trapped in our pane of existence with no way to return. They wander the landscape, seeking out the rare human being born with "the gift" and able to communicate with them.

Cheese Ghost

Cheese Ghosts are a creation of a mad wizard as a practical joke. They can be eaten by a certain round yellow creature without first eating a power pellet.

Lassu

Lassu are strange creatures. They appear as serpents with feathery wings, a strange bulbous rattle, and an oddly human head. They have been known to display supernatural powers, such as mind reading, clairvoyance, teleportation, and the ability to fly though solid objects. They do not seem to be confined by the same laws of physics which govern the rest of the universe, leading some paranormal researchers to theorize they are multidimensional entities capable of moving outside of space-time. As to who they are and what their ultimate purpose is, no one can say.

Beast Train

Beast Trains are spectral trains which carry the recently deceased to the land of the undead. They can be spotted during the full moon in the desolate American southwest, traversing along the old cattle routes and lonely highways, where the tracks don't go.

Bone Spirit

Bone Spirits are ghosts which have existed on Earth for countless ages, so long they have forgotten the last vestiges of their former earthly lives. For one reason or another they stayed behind on the Earthly plane, perhaps seeking closure for an Earthly injustice of some kind. But time wears on, and those who live upon the Earth have short memories.

They roam the landscape, slowly counting the ever lasting years, watching nations raise and fall and taunting them with the countless transient lives of human beings which seem to flash before them in the blink of an eye. Who can say what insanity goes through the mind of a being trapped on this Earthly plane who's life ended before the advent of language? How can such a being find closure when all it knew in life lived, died, and turned to rot so long ago as to be counted on a geologic scale?

Truly it is not those who pass on to parts unknown which are cursed, but those who are left behind, as few of us possess the fortitude to withstand infinity.

Kameosa


A tsukumogami spawned from an old jug or jar. Unlike most other Yokai, this one can be beneficial towards people. The Kameosa has the ability to replicate any liquid that is placed inside of it, be it sake, water, wine, etc.

Vorschlagiest

The Vorschlagiest is a peculiar type of ghost. Instead of quietly slinking around in the shadows like other spirits, he takes it upon himself to make as much noise as possible. Psychologists believe they are spirits of people who had trouble asserting themselves while alive, and thus are now doomed to be loud and annoying through eternity.

Umibōzu


The Umibōzu is a Japanese Yokai, or spirit. The name translates to English as "Sea Monk." It is supposedly gray colored, with a large, bald head resembling that of a Buddhist Monk, with multiple serpentine limbs. Although there are many representations of this creature in the form of an octopus or squid (mainly due to the "serpentine limbs,") the actual legends of the Umibōzu read more like contemporary reports of "Shadow People."

Revenant



A Revenant is a ghost or animated corpse in medieval belief, often returned to terrorize the living. Those who lead greedy, self-serving lives were likely to return as the walking dead. Revenants were also known to return to enact revenge (for example, against the one who murdered them,) or to give warnings.

In "A Christmas Carol," Ebenezer Scrooge's deceased business partner Jacob Marley returns as a Revenant.

Drowchu


Drowchu is a type of small, land dwelling protoplasmic entity. Drowchu are not ghosts in the purest sense, because they have never inhabited a physical body. They tend to hang around isolated areas, ruins, ghost towns, etc, and are generally harmless unless provoked.

Phone Walker


A Tsukumogami evolved from an old style rotary phone. Like his modern counterpart eventually there will be millions upon millions of his like who will take over the Earth.

You cannot use him to access voicemail or automated banking systems.

Kashatokage


Like his distant relative, the Kashatokage is a Tsukumogami spawned from a large passenger van. He is great for transporting a large amount of people but gets crappy gas mileage.

Blenderpus


Another Tsukumogami evolved from a common kitchen blender. I would not use one that had tentacles coming out of it.
