Shiofuki

The Shiofuki or Shihofuki (Japanese: 汐吹 or しほふき, meaning "tide sprayer") was a Yokai of the sea known for its strong spray of water in Japanese mythology.

Myths & Legends
Shiofuki is not very well known. In fact, the only reference to it anywhere is the  Bakemono tsukushi emaki, a yōkai scroll painted in 1820 by an anonymous author which depicts unique yōkai found nowhere else in folklore. No text accompanies its illustration, so everything about this yōkai is purely speculative.

Appearance
Shiofuki is an elusive aquatic yokai with elephantine ears and a trunk-like mouth. It has human-like arms, but its hands are webbed and resemble the fins of a fish. Its body is covered in fine hairs which the salt in the ocean sticks to.

Behavior
Shiofuki lives in the ocean far away from civilization. It is only seen when it rises up from the waves to spray salty water into the air. Everything else about the lifestyle and habits of this creature is a mystery.
