In Japanese myth, the Oni are evil spirits or demons that have monstrous forms. There are many kinds of Oni, but the most recognized are the oni of hell. These creatures are green or red and have either the head of an ox or a horse, with a human body. They capture sinners and carry them in a flaming chariot to the god of the dead. Another group of Oni are perpetually hungry and thirsty with stomachs that are grossly swollen. These Oni have the ability to change their shape. Some oni are invisible, but all are said to be malevolent and the cause of disease.
