🧬 Stone-headed, silent, robed, small stature, wanders rural paths

⚠️ Danger: 1

Abura Sumashi is a mysterious, potato-headed creature from Japanese folklore, particularly from the Kumamoto region. Believed to be the spirit of someone who stole oil in life—a serious offense in times when oil was precious—this squat figure wears a straw cloak and lurks in mountain passes. While not malevolent, it is known to appear suddenly to travelers, delivering a stare that sends chills. The Abura Sumashi reflects moral lessons about karma and respect for natural resources.
