Kyourinrin (Japanese)

Kyorinrin is a spirit of knowledge formed from ancient scrolls, books, and scriptures which have been left unstudied by their owners and gathering dust.Kyorinrin are often extravagant; they decorates themselves with the most ornate volumes and scrolls, wearing them like a kimono. A scroll with tassels becomes the headpiece, and they develop bird-like beaks and long, extendible arms.

Compelled by the wisdom of the ages, the volumes that make up a ky?rinrin rise up as a dragon-like spirit. The Kyorinrin use their elongating arms to assault the ignorant owners who let such priceless treasures and knowledge fall into disuse.
