Hanemuri

Hanemuri are small, crow-sized creatures inhabiting the treetops of the Shadowlands forests. They have bony bodies covered in parchment-like skin, their wings look like bats' and their jaws are lined with thousands of tiny teeth. Alone they are shy, in groups they will attacks in swarms against anyone entering their territory.

Hanemuri are easily crushed under a fist but too agile to be caught easily. When their number becomes to great and threatening to overpower a samurai, it is advised by Kuni Mokuna to simply roll on the ground effectively crushing a great deal of them in the process.
