Word-Hungry Oni

Word-Hungry Oni was an oni who dwelled in the Repository of All Knowledge. The walls were covered with words painted in blood, the work of the Word-Hungry Oni who was always on the lookout for victims to serve as fresh ink. Its skin looked like parchment, kanji crawling slowly over it, which included a cipher used in some of the documents. The oni was an agent of the Phantasmal Oni. Wheel of Judgment, pp. 14, 18, 20

== Appearance ==
This oni sat in the midst of a vast pile of scrolls. It was made of flesh and bone, and had many hands that were always moving, scratching words onto scrolls, the walls, and anything within reach. The kanji on its skin slowly crawled across its body, gradually shrinking to make space for new ones. This oni absorbed knowledge but could not contain it, which was why it must write everything down. Its hands looked human but for one elongated nail on each that served as a brush, drawing with ink that run through its body like blood. The Word-Hungry Oni might detach a hand, which retained the desire for knowledge and obeyed the will of the Word-Hungry Oni. This oni hated most other oni. Wheel of Judgment, p. 21
