The Giant Skeleton of Japanese Folklore

A Gashadokuro is a massive skeleton formed from the bones of those who died in battle or starvation. It roams the night to hunt lone travelers, grabbing them to satisfy its endless hunger.

These terrifying giants are said to be fifteen times taller than an average person. They are completely invisible until you hear a sudden, ominous ringing in your ears. Because they are composed of thousands of human remains, they possess a collective malice that makes them impossible to kill. To escape one, you must find a Shinto charm to ward off the spirit before it strikes.
