OH-oh-MOO-kah-deh
Giant Centipede (Mikami-yama Tradition)
A famed form tied to legends of Mount Mikami in Ōmi and the shores of Lake Biwa. Said to coil around the mountain seven and a half times, its shell is as hard as metal or stone, impervious to arrows and blades. At night its legs gleam crimson, casting a long shadow over the lake and mountain skirts. Tales of its slaying are linked to martial valor and understood in relation to dragon-god worship and the numinous power of bridges. Connections to mining and blacksmith lore have been noted, though details remain unclear.
