Maho Bujin

Maho Bujin, also known as Shadowlands Madmen, [1] were bloodspeakers warriors [2] of those consumed by the taint. After they were transformed in a creature of the Shadowlands they traveled toward the Festering Pit of Fu Leng, to become a living servant of Jigoku. Most Maho Bujin were Crab bushi. [3] Those who passed a test made by akutsukai joined the Shadowlands ranks, and the failures were fed to oni. [4] Their humanity was completely gone, reducing them to mindless, bloodthirsty animals. They commonly were used on the front-lines of Shadowlands armies. [5]
