This lizard-like demon relied primarily on brute
force to attack its victims, forgoing the cloak
and dagger approach of its brethren. Its primary
attack was to leap into the air and land on its
prey, a devastating strike given that its much
larger than a human being. With its target weakened,
the armless lizard would then use its long tongue
to constrict its foe and eventually swallow them.
This means of attack almost worked against Hyakkimaru,
but was foiled thanks to the efforts of Dororo
who stabbed the creature in the eye with her blade.
Given a momentary break, Hyakkimaru used this
chance to slash off the creature's tongue before
diving into its belly and cutting his way out
in order to kill the monster. Oddly enough, despite
no human appearance, the demon was one of the
48 who had ravished the body of Hyakkimaru as
a child.
