Oni

Tian Xia's corrupted nature spirits, fierce and tusked, ranging from brutal brutes to kishin—quasideities ruling isolated mortal domains.

Oni are large, brutal creatures originating in Tian Xia who resemble humanoids with brightly colored skin, tusks, and horns. Though commonly mistaken for fiends, the first oni were originally kami, tutelary nature spirits.

The mightiest oni are powerful quasideities known by the title of kishin, possessing unique powers and isolated mortal domains. The most powerful is Inma, the Empress of the World, but Akuma the Horned King, Murona the Dark Mother, and Nataka the Red King are also worshipped.

The first oni originated in the nation of Minkai on the continent of Tian Xia.
