Umibōzu: The Tentacled Sea MONSTER GHOST that PREYS on Japanese Sailors
Japan is known for many yokai-cryptid types. One such cryptid is a terrifying sea phantom that's said to emerge from the depths of calm waters on moonlit nights. This dark, shadowy presence is said to bring upon torrential downpours, rocky waters, and stormy nights as it towers over unsuspecting sailors. Legend has it that the Umibōzu is said to ask one simple question just before attacking sailors and capsizing their ships—answer the riddle incorrectly, and the ocean might become your early grave.
