Amikiri
Region of origin: Japan
Literally “net cutter,” this flying shrimp-snake yokai does what it says on the tin: cuts nets; fishermen’s nets, mosquito nets, anything net-like it can get its snippers on. While not intentionally malicious on its part, its pathological behavior can still have devastating effects on the tradesmen whose livelihood it just sliced up.
