Flavor Text: As a mortal, Onibaba would lure stragglers from battles into her traps, finish them off, and sell their possessions. One night, however, she pulled a finely crafted mask from a dark and terrible samurai, and slipped it on over her face. In that instant, the dark power from within the mask touched the festering rot in her soul and consumed her. Soon the mortal hag was infested by an ageless, devouring horror that has stalked Kagejima's places of slaughter ever since.
Together, the hag and spirit that inhabits her have retained the name of Onibaba. The spirit has kept Onibaba's human habits, amplifying those inclinations that were dark and murderous. Those who have ventured close to her and lived have heard her muttering to herself, sometimes in argument, other times laughing ominously. She still lures straggler and wanderers into malicious traps, dispatching them for trinkets she no longer has need or want for.
