As the war fought above and below ground intensifies all sides are pushed to find more weapons and soldiers to turn the tide in their favour. The Council of Shadows is no different and selects the bravest and foolhardiest of the bakemono warriors to capture and master the beasts that live in the shadows. Only the few survive, but those that do are able to ride these murderous monsters into battle with devastating effect.

A lot could be said for the subterranean races’ savage and cruel practices however their ability to adapt and change based on the environment and resources available cannot be ignored, their resourcefulness is something to be admired when considering the scarcity of materials offered in the dark places they claim as their own. Now with the world in turmoil, ravaged by war, the bakemono tribes pick the battlefields clean like maggots at a wound. This has led to the advancements of the Prefecture being turned against them. The boomers are one such example of this, two brave and possibly a little stupid bakemono eagerly working the famous ryu arquebus to deadly effect.

Deep in the belly of the world in the dark places the Bakemono tribes call their own the bats grow large. Whether it is through the consumption of the rare and toxic fungus that the bats in the warrens grow to such size or because the Sho Bak Shugenja are not opposed to the occasional Bakemono snack to help with the diet no one could comment. Those brave explorers who have ventured deep enough into caverns where the bats dwell don’t live long after hearing a strange clicking. As in battle the bats sweep in from the skies, driving their targets to the ground, their suffering only ended then the bat has had its fill of their blood or when the noxious toxics the bats carry in the mouths have overwhelmed their bodies.

In battle, under the Kaihei Alphas glare the pack moves as one, quickly and decidedly devouring their helpless prey alive, snapping and ripping in a bloody fury of tooth and claw. Of the many fighting beasts of the Oni the Kaihei rightly hold a place of feared in the minds of men.

These muscled hunters are pack animals and whilst fearsome in isolation they are truly terrifying when running in a group. Lean and agile they bound across the battlefield, throwing themselves with great momentum at their quarry, barrelling them to the ground whilst another in the pack snaps and tears at the exposed vital areas of the prey. Teeth and claws as hard as steel they can tear through even the toughest of Minimoto iron with a concentration bite.

The Slaver is an abomination even by the standards of his Kin. His worth to the Savage Wave is unquestionable and the constant warring for control between the twin heads; Kemono and Ushi can leave opponents struggling for a strategy to deal with the brute. Kemono’s primal desire to smash his way through an enemy force is tempered by the more considered and manipulative techniques of Ushi.

Kokoro is unusual for an Oni, unusual in many ways. He invokes both fear and respect in other Oni, feelings that are alien to them. This is what has not only allowed him to survive into old age but also flourish. Nobody knows how old an Oni can live until a natural death, it hasn’t happened. What is known is that Kokoro has consumed countless souls and is called the Harvester by those that revere him. What is certain is that none yet have faced Kokoro and survived.

It is unknown when the beasts of the wave started taking captives. These are no hostages though, they are put to work or put to the sword by their less than benign captors.
