Otoroshi
Otoroshi literally means "Frightening!" This yokai is not very well-described - in fact, there is no actual physical description of it, although copious amounts of art exist. The most common painting, somewhat reproduced with this figure, shows an Otoroshi perched on top of a gate, waiting to pounce and devour whomever tries to pass underneath.
Although there is no formal description of the monster, it is traditionally depicted as being covered in shaggy, bramblelike hair, and with a massive, fanged mouth.
Otoroshi are typically portrayed as especially waiting by monastery, temple, or church gates, and eat the impious who try to enter. We could have used one in my old church in California. He would have gotten fat. He would have been our pet.
