All Hybrid Spirits (Mythical Creatures)

Japanese spirits that mix animal and human traits, such as the water dwelling kappa and the bird like tengu. An entry belongs here when its article describes a creature that combines an animal form with a human one. The group page lists related creatures together so that a reader can compare how one kind of being appears across cultures and stories. Entries are placed by what their own article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group that its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members.
