Gazuk

Gazuk, the bakemono monk, was a goblin who embraced the teachings of Shinsei.

The Hooded Ronin Captured
In the Month of the Monkey of 1128 the Hooded Ronin was captured by a group of oni while travelling through the Phoenix lands. While they were awaiting the arrival of Yogo Junzo, the descendant of Shinsei spoke to Gazuk. He was easily able to bewilder the weak-willed goblin with his wisdom, and turned him toward the path of enlightenment.

Releasing the Descendant of Shinsei
Gazuk was instrumental in the freedom of the Hooded Ronin. Unarmed and quoting passages from the Tao he found a group of samurai and begged for mercy. Any attempt of killing Gazuk was ruined as the attacked was suddenly swooped upon by a crow, symbol of Shinsei. The samurai eventually stared at the bizarre situation, and Gazuk surrendedred peacefully, telling his story. The samurai found the oni's camp, defeating a pair of Ugulu no Oni and a goblin pack. The Hooded Ronin thanked the samurai sincerely and continued on his way with Gazuk in tow.
