Nairu no Oni

Nairu no Oni, Scourge of the Skies, were winged Oni. Enemies of the Empire, p. 162
== Appearance ==
Nairu no Oni were about the size of an average human. They were grey-skinned with sharp claws, huge leathery wings, and a very strong grip. They attacked their prey with a quick swoop and took the carcass back to a secluded area. Creatures of Rokugan, pp. 138-139
== Nairu no Oni and Daigotsu ==
Nairu no Oni were typically scavengers, and most creatures of the Shadowlands ignored them because of that. But when Daigotsu came to power, he saw use for these oni. Daigotsu placed the Nairu no Oni in the rear of his armies for support. While they were of little use in combat, they could carry other oni to places far away, allowing for more complex assaults on the Kaiu Wall. Some of the feral ones had joined The Maw's assault on the City of the Lost. Creatures of Rokugan: Third Edition, p. 139
