Kyōrinrin of the Library
Descrição
A yōkai formed from ancient texts, a kyōrinrin is born when old works are forgotten and left to gather dust. This being, when gathered together, looks like a crude imagining of a great dragon, with a long body and fang-filled face made of parchment and bindings. It loves to adorn itself in well-loved, ornate texts as if wearing a kimono. Its long, beak-like snout and supernaturally enhanced body allow it to punish those who would abandon text and let knowledge fade away.
A kyōrinrin does not discriminate between “good” and “bad” texts, and its own body may include forbidden and wicked knowledge. This yōkai must feast on fresh information at least once every other month; if it does not, it begins to waste away until it becomes dust. The kyōrinrin of Danuja’s library (see Adventure Seed: Forbidden Lore, below) is an exception; this creature is twisted and cursed by the Taint. It revels in the taboo and relishes feasting on the minds of unwitting victims, and it has become increasingly and more demanding of Danuja in the last several weeks.
