Zashiki-Warashi

Zashiki-Warashi were yōkai that lived in parlors or storage rooms, and that performed pranks. It was said that people who saw one would be visited with good fortune. These little ghosts were desperate for playmates, so much so that they could actually charm others into playing with them. The skeletal remnants of the zashiki-warashi's mortal remains use to be near the place they were seen. Once the remains were properly disposed of, the zashiki-warashi vanished, never to return.
