Another well put together collection of monsters from Japanese folk lore with authentic Japanese art used as the illustrations. The monsters are also unique and broad enough to be able to adapt to other types of campaigns. (As mentioned in my other review: A title page would have been nice, perhaps explaining a bit about the Yokai and how they fit into Japanese culture and how to adapt them to various type of games. )

This collection feels a bit more polished than the first one and the creatures are sorted in order of CR.

The Ryuto (“Dragon Lights”) are strange balls of fire that float over the water. If enough of them gather, they coalesce together and form a dragon. The Ryuto could work nicely in many campaigns that have large bodies of water as well as fit nicely in the plane of water itself. The Futakuchi-Onna is terrifying woman with crazy tentacle like hair and a mouth on the back of her head, and could easily adapt to any horror theme campaign.

Baku are strange animal like creatures that eat nightmares (and other dreams if a creature spends to much time around it) . They are unique and inspire plot ideas and quest lines. Komainu are large lion dog stone sculptures that guard temples. They always come in pairs of two and have abilities that work better when there are two of them. Finally we have the Bakekujira a powerful ghost whale creature that spreads plague. This huge spirt would be an excellent edition to any nautical based campaign .
