Gegege no Kitarou - Youkai Island Crisis

Part Two: Enemies and Bosses

With an incredible 60 enemy types (not counting re-colored variations in later stages) and 13 boss battles (many against more than one foe), this particular Kitarou game blows away virtually every other game on bogleech in the monster department, and nearly ALL of its creatures come straight from ancient, eastern folklore!

Umi Bozu - this mysterious sea monster can attain such a size that its head alone may capsize ships and blacken the sky. Traditionally described as a humanoid giant, its eyes are said to be either its only facial feature or the only feature that can be seen.

Kamaitachi - the "sickle weasel" is a small, bladed creature that flies too fast to be seen. It usually attacks in a team of three: the first knocks the victim down, the second slashes at them, and the third heals the wound.

Nure-onna - a river-dwelling snake woman able to cast illusions, the recleusive Nure-onna sometimes takes on human form to wash her hair by the shore and can prove very dangerous to nosy mortal passerby. Sometimes described with the power to drink blood from a distance.
