An Onikage
Onikage, "Demon Horses", were horses that died in the Shadowlands and rose again as undead monsters. Beheading prevented them being raised. They were used by the Dark Moto as steeds. [1]
Appearance[]
Onikage had crocodile skin, sharp teeth and hooves, red eyes, and an emaciated appearance. They emitted an "Onikage stink", which was a disgusting noxious smell that scared normal horses. Warriors who spent too much time in the Shadowlands could acquire this "Onikage stink", and animals, particularly horses, would thereafter be uncomfortable in their presence. [1] Most Onikage encountered in the Shadowlands were wild and traveled in herds. However, they could be tamed like regular horses, and were extremely loyal to their riders. [2]
Breeding[]
The Crab knew better than to use horses in the Shadowlands and because of this, there was a shortage of Onikage for a time. During the march to Oblivion's Gate in 1133, when samurai from all clans marched through the Shadowlands, the Onikage shortage had ended. Under the leadership of Daigotsu, the Lost bred Onikage in the City of the Lost. [3]
