Shisagishin
A predator that plays dead in coffins and shallow graves unfolds into claws the instant a mourner draws close, and its kills resist revival.
A predator that hunts by playing dead, the shisagishin folds itself into the shape of a corpse and waits in coffins and shallow graves for a mourner to draw close — then unfolds into a thing of claws and devoured souls.
