Lore

Oni are towering, fearsome humanoid demons. Massive and muscular, they dwarf ordinary humans in both height and breadth, and their skin comes in vivid hues of red, blue, green, yellow, or black—each color hinting at distinct temperaments. Red Oni burn with fury, Blue embody cold calculation, Green represent sloth, Yellow stand for greed, and Black Oni bring destruction and doubt.

Their heads typically sprout large, bull-like horns, though some boast multiple horns. Their faces bear feral malice, mouths often contorted in a predatory grin baring long fangs, and eyes that flash in the dark—sometimes glowing like a beast’s or flickering like embers. Thick, shaggy hair cascades to their shoulders, heightening their brutal air.
