Ittan-Momen

The Ittan-Momen is a Yokai from Japan classified as a Tsukumogami. They look harmless, resembling a long strip of cloth, sometimes over 30 feet in length. They fly through the sky at night to search for sleeping victims. They wrap around their victims heads, crushing the skull and smothering the victim. If the trust of the Ittan-Momen is gained however, it enjoys being worn as a turban.
