Kiri no Oni

Kiri no Oni was a spawn of an ancient and deadly creature which was believed to be a hunting demon.
== Appearance ==
Kiri no Oni was an enormous arachnid creature with many eyes. Its long limbs were covered with razor-sharp ridges, and taper down to blade-like claws. It was a native denizen of the Shadowlands. It was difficult to reach it in a close combat, so missile attacks were the easiest way to deal with. The Book of the Shadowlands, p. 86 The original Kiri emerged from the Festering Pit of Fu Leng. Creatures of Rokugan, p. 35
== Spawns ==
Its spawns were independent and solitary. Vaguely resembling a huge spider, they hunted their preys by building highly elaborate traps, including webs and other deadly pits. Their tactics were to trap and immobilize their opponents before devouring them.
