==Oni==
These are mountain spirits that share some things in common with trolls and ogres. The word is almost always translated into English as "demons" or "ogres." They are sometimes depicted as [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|good or bad]], but are usually morally neutral and interested in their own affairs. They prefer huge bludgeoning weapons and animal-hide (often tiger-striped) loincloths. Sometimes blamed for streaks of misfortune. Others work jobs in [[Fire and Brimstone Hell]]. [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Know the different kinds!]]
They appear in the [[w:Momotarō|Momotaro]] story as villains for Momotaro to defeat, making them some of the oldest Youkai still known.
=== Examples ===
* A few side characters (The Ogre Triad, the winner of the final tournament, etc.), and probably Jin and Shishiwakamaru, of ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]''.
