Bio: Oni are a demonic variant of ogres.  They are found in Japan, and these big demonic man beasts hunt down, and brutally punish sinners. Despite their large size, they overcompensate with an iron bludgeon. Though they can be tricksters, in ancient Japan, it was believed that invisible Oni were behind natural disasters. Also, unlike their European and/or American relatives, they have tiny horns. If one is able to defeat a demon ogre in battle, that person will earn his respect forever, and if they really like them, they will become that human's personal servant for as long as he or she lives.
Reproduction: An Oni is typically made from the soul of a wicked mortal; others however just exist.  Some humans are so wicked, they become Oni while still alive.  Some have asked if fallen angels can become Oni, but those have only been recorded to become devils, or imps.
Biology: They are large humanoid demons with one or two horns on their heads, and come in five (possibly more) colors, red, blue, green, yellow and black.
