Kasa-obake

 



One of the most strangest looking monsters is the Kasa-obake. This is part of Japanese folklore and it's also called a a Karakasa-kozo. They resemble umbrellas with one large eye and a single leg, which they use to hop around. They are said to have very large tongues. 
The Kasa-obake are a type of Yokai (spirits) and often said to have started in the Edo period (16th Century to the 18th Centuries). 
While there are unknown sightings of them, many associate the Kasa-obake with hauntings and nightmares. It could be another kind of "bogeyman" in Japanese tradition. 
Often its' assumed these entities are just fabrications in stories. These creatures mostly appear in popular media such as cartoons, manga and computer games such as "The Legend of the Mystical Ninja".
