Namahage

The Namahage are ogres in Japanese folklore. As part of a ritual practiced on New Years eve, they go door to door in search of misbehaving children. It is believed they were brought to Japan two thousand years ago by the Emperor of China. The citizens of the Oga region made a wager with the demons, that if they could build a flight of one thousand stone steps in one night, they would receive yearly tribute, but if they failed they would have to leave. As they completed the task a young villager fooled them by imitating the rooster's crow, and thus the Oni left, believing they had failed.

He begins as the first enemy Godizlla encounters, but eventually the two become allies.

Ghidorah, the Three headed monster

It has not yet been determined what exactly caused this mutation, although authorities have not yet ruled out recent nuclear accidents. The creatures seem to possess a mixture of fish, sea slug, octopus, and shark DNA. Ohpelapods so far have been shown to be highly aggressive, and their impact on the ecology of the area is unknown.

Barugon

This is Barugon, from the 1966 movie Gamera vs. Barugon (or War of the Monsters in the USA.) Barugon is a giant lizard creature with a long, bulbous tongue that can freeze things and has the ability to shoot a rainbow-ray from his back spines.

I've always thought this was a very "happy" looking monster.

Kappa are Japanese water spirits, which take the form of a hunched over turtle man. They inhabit lakes and rivers, taunt fishermen, and sometimes abduct children, although a beneficial relationship can be established with them. Kappa are also very proud of their martial arts prowess, and possess superior strength and speed. The Kappa has one weakness: Each has a "bowl" on it's head which must remain filled with water from it's native river or stream. If one can trick the Kappa into spilling this water he will quickly dry up and become immobilized.

Nurikabe

The Nurikabe is a traditional Japanese Tsukumogami born from a wall. He has the ability stretch his body to obstruct a traveler in any direction indefinitely. To dispose of him one must knock on the lower part of the wall.

Not the kind of ghost you want to tick off, else he may fall flat on you.

Oni

The Oni is the equivalent of a demon, troll, or orge in Japanese folklore. Like their western counterparts they're usually depicted as large, hideous, and not too bright. However Japanese orges are schooled in the magical arts to a larger degree, often possessing the ability to turn invisible, transform into animals, fly, etc. They are commonly depicted in a red or bule color, with wild hair, fangs, claws, and carrying an iron club ( kanabō. )
