Oni
Oni are evil spirits from Japanese mythology and folklore. Oni are typically large in size, possess superhuman strength, and are terrifying in appearance. In Japanese Buddhism, they constitute one of the six orders of life in the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth known as Samsara. When a particularly wicked person dies, it is believed that they will either be reborn as, or transform into, an oni. They reside in Buddhist hell, where they punish and torture others who had been wicked in their past life. They are also known to emerge from Buddhist hell in order to punish or terrify wicked mortals. The term oni is often translated to English as "ogre" or "demon," but unlike demons in Christianity, oni are not considered to be intrinsically evil. Rather, they are considered to be wrathful and uncontrolled, but still able to be converted to Buddhism.
