Shadow Oni

The Shadow Oni was an oni of the Shadowlands, a monster which needed a living host, a mind to fill with hubris and vice. Shadowlands: The Essential Guide to the Dominion of Fu Leng, p. 4
== Appearance and Abilities ==
The Shadow Oni hid in shadows and reflections, revealing the dark side of anyone it encountered and gradually turning them into their worst selves. It wanted name and form, and a skilled mahō-tsukai might promise such gifts but find a way to withhold them indefinitely. Given form, it became a shadowlike warrior that no barrier could keep out, insubstantial until it grasped a victim's own weapon and strikes. Shadowlands: The Essential Guide to the Dominion of Fu Leng, p. 1167
== Death ==
In 1117 the Crab Clan sent a party to the Shadowlands to get rid off it, but the oni possessed the party's leader, Hida Kiyosue. Kuni Ritsuko killed its host, after she realized her commander had been possessed, and the Shadow Oni just passed onto the Shugenja. She noticed her presence, ordering the scouting team to chain her to a nearby tree, and left her alone, waiting death, forcing the Shadow Oni to die, as it would not find another suitable host in the vicinity.
