A canonical form based on Sekien’s imagery and Edo-period prints. Resembling a cropped-haired child, it has clawed feet and an unusually long tongue. It avoids people, appears on deserted nights, and laps up bath scum and mineral scale, leaving wet tongue trails and a strange odor as its trace. Direct harm is rare; it is often seen as a presence that urges residents to clean.
