"Every culture has it's myths. Every culture has it's myths about demons and dark creatures. In Japan one myth stands out above all when it comes to evil beings. They are called Oni.The Japanese Oni are demons that serve many different purposes, much like the demons of Christian faith as well as Judaism and in the Muslim religion. The Oni were also tempters of man and would often make deals with mortals that seemed helpful but usually ended up in the downfall of the said person. In some lore the Oni were people who died in horrific accidents and reaped their sadness and malice upon the living. As with most of the interesting information that surrounds the Oni ,one of the more well known facts about them is the war tactics used by samurai warriors to incite fear into the very hearts of their advisories. Usually the higher ranking officers would adorne their armor with terrifying Oni mask. Some legends stated that when samurai warriors dressed as Oni would charge the battle field literally hundreds of opposing soldiers would flee in terror. It has also been said that upon wearing the Oni armor, one would become one with the Oni demon itself. Tales circulated about horrific nightmares that would follow any who used the Oni mask in battle. As if the Demon was punishing those who would use their power."
