== Becoming an Oni Lord == Unlike the regular Oni that entered the Mortal Realm of [[Ningen-do]] through the portal to [[Jigoku]] that was found at the [[Festering Pit of Fu Leng]] in the [[Shadowlands]], the Oni Lords had to be summoned directly by a [[shugenja]] and freely given a name. When the namer died, the Oni came into its full power, having gained a soul of its own by taking the soul of its summoner. [[Fu Leng]] gave his name to the first [[Oni]] Lord to walk Rokugan, appropriately known as the [[First Oni]]. Oni Lords were able to create spawn, less powerful copies of themselves. Often, these copies were the creature's only real contact with the rest of Rokugan, while the true Oni Lord remained safe deep in the Shadowlands. Even if the Oni Lord was slain and its mortal form destroyed, its soul was only banished temporarily to [[Jigoku]] and was soon able to return after a time renewing its strength by basking in the foulness of the Realm of Evil. Unlike the Elemental Dragons, the Oni Lords did not have direct representattives among mortals like the Elemental Dragons' [[Oracle]]s, and chose to further their own (usually divergent) goals through the use of their spawn directly in the mortal world rather than relyingn on intermediaries. The two feared Oni Lords of Rokugan known as [[Yakamo no Oni]] and [[The Maw]] are currently incapable of creating any spawn. <ref>''Creatures of Rokugan'' pp. 55-57</ref> === Abilities === To create lesser [[Meta:Spawn|Spawn]] of itself, to [[Meta:Banishment|banish]] its physical form to Jigoku to prevent its death, and a [[Corruption Aura]] were the common abilities of all Oni Lords. <ref>''Way of the Shadowlands'', p. 118</ref>
