As a terrifying eruption of the supernatural world into our own, it is similar (though not precisely equivalent) to the concept of pandemonium in english. One legend of recent vintage states that "every year the yōkai Nurarihyon, will lead all of the...

Umibozu is a sea spirit in Japanese Folklore. In Japanese Mythology, they are said to live in the depths of the ocean.

It moves to destroy the ship, either smashing it with a single blow or taking it down bit by bit.
