This list of mythical creatures that begin with this letter and I am constantly gathering information from each continent, and is continually being updated.
Iwana-bozu (Japanese)
Iwana-bozu is an animated Buddhist Rosary and The Protagonist of "Tsukumogami Emaki". At the start of the scroll, he tries to lead his friends down the path of righteousness, but being animated prayer beads he comes off a bit preachy. He is quickly interrupted by the antagonist Arataro (a Club/Mace) who inturrupts and beats him close to death just for preaching good advise.
Ichiren flees and lives his life in the mountains where he creates a temple and becomes wiser. The other tools become monsters and enact their plot for revenge against the humans. At the end of the story the others are forced to repent for their sins, the gods have sent "Holy boys" to stop their rampage. Unsure what to do, the tools go find Ichiren, who forgives them and allows them to join his sect.
