Description
A formidable and eerie "Ghost Whale," a spectral entity that haunts the coastal regions, particularly near Tsukigamikuni. This ghostly leviathan appears as an immense skeletal whale, glowing with a phosphorescent light that gives it an otherworldly and haunting presence. Its appearance is often considered an omen of misfortune, bringing bad luck and disaster to fishermen and coastal villages. Bakekujira is not just a passive specter but an active agent of chaos in the marine environments it frequents. It is said to command the lesser spirits of the sea and can stir the waters into a frenzy, causing dangerous tides and leading ships astray into perilous waters or deadly storms. It's haunting form and the disasters it brings are symbolic of the unchecked natural forces and the destructive potential of the neglected and forgotten spirits.
