Mr. Raw Head

Mr. Raw Heads are one of the Spirits from Yomawari: Night Alone. They return as minions of the Original Mr. Raw Head in a boss fight in Yomawari: Midnight Shadows.

## Appearance

In most cases, they will appear to be floating black spheres with a massive eye on their front. Due to that characteristic, it has sometimes been dubbed as an "Eye Form".

Should the Mr. Raw Head spot either the Protagonist or Haru, however, their eye will disappear and be replaced by a vertically-placed mouth with a long row of massive white teeth. This mouth will constantly open and close as it advances toward its target, and it makes a loud chomping noise while doing so.

In Yomawari: Midnight Shadows, when launched by the Original Mr. Raw Head, this Spirit takes the appearance of a ball of black mist with purple outlines before turning into its default form.

## Behavior

When the Protagonist enters a certain area, a number of Mr. Raw Heads will come rushing from outside the area to kill the Protagonist. When the Protagonist escapes their range, they will stop chasing her and begin looking for her to reenter their range as well as within their eyesight.

Mr. Raw Heads are rather hard to avoid, as they can and will appear out of nowhere to corner their victims, but since they always do so in the same location, experience can keep the Protagonist or Haru from stumbling into a nasty surprise.

In most situations the Mr. Raw Head remains in an "Eye Form", where it passively moves around and searches for victims - namely, the Protagonist and Haru. In this state, it is harmless as long as the girls remain out of its line of sight, and they can even make contact with it with no consequences. However, if it does see them, it will switch to its more aggressive "Teeth Form" and begin actively moving toward its target. If it makes contact with either of the girls in this form, it will kill her.

In addition, once Mr. Raw Head loses sight of its target after attacking, it will change from its Teeth Form to its Eye Form, and become passive once more.

## Trivia

* The Attack Form/Teeth Form of the Mr. Raw Head resembles the "Kamiotoko" demon from the Devil Summoner series.
	+ It is also possible that the Mr. Raw Head may also take inspiration from the original "Kamiotoko" (just like Devil Summoner's "Kamiotoko"), which is a yokai from Japanese urban legend that is said to be responsible for why people find 'bite marks' on their body without any logical explanation.
* They are the only Spirit to be featured in the title art of a *Yomawari* game, as of the release of *Lost in the Dark*.
* Unlike many other Spirits of the game, they appear to serve only as minions of the Original Mr. Raw Head, and do not appear to have any significant business keeping them bound to the physical world.
	+ Despite this, their progenitor is absent in *Night Alone*, leaving their objective during those events unknown.
