Henge-Okurimono

The Henge-Okurimono were the cursed “shape-shifting gifts”, malevolent nemuranai created by a mahō-tsukai. They were seemingly mundane household items, each depicting a different animal: the hawk hairpins, the silver origami cat, the wolf kimono, the boar sandals, and the dog fan. These trinkets could change their wearer into their depicted animal and back again, but each time, the user suffered gradually more Taint, until they were trapped in a monstrous version of their animal form, unable to change back.
