Kashanbo (Japanese)

This child-sized humanoid has an oversized beaked head, pebbly skin, and webbed fingers and toes. It wears a colorful traveler’s coat. They are creatures of the rivers and lakes, but they are fascinated by mountains. They see these, rightly, as the sources of freshwater, and some have become so obsessed with finding the source of their body of water that they train themselves for a great journey.

Although kashambo are frequently solitary pilgrims, occasionally entire bands of them will come together in their journeys. Kashambo are not shy of humanoids, throwing pebbles on the roofs of houses to inform their occupants of the yokai’s passing.
