Birds of Itsumaden 以津真天

The Yokai
According to the legend, this Human-faced bird spirit appears in the night sky. It breathes fire and cries with a wretched voice: ITSUMADEMO! ITSUMADEMO!
We can translate that by "How much longer???"

"The court nobles were all quite disturbed,
and chose an expert archer to shoot the creature down. When the huge bird fell from the sky, it was found to be
a chimeric beast with the body of a snake, a human-like face, claws like daggers, and a wingspan of around five
meters. Apparently it had appeared around the time of a plague, when the bodies of the innumerable deceased were
being dumped on the capital's outskirts. The monstrous itsumaden, it is said, was born from the bitter
spirits of all those abandoned dead, and flew about shrieking in sympathy for them."

The Itsumaden birds are a Yokai clan living in the Celestial Plains. They were hiding before one of them get shot down by a furious Celestial (Ushiwaka's specie). The Bird was crying in the night sky for several hours. After this murder, the Itsumaden required a punishement for the Celestials. But no Gods deigned help them cose they all ran away (remember teh Tatsumaru-chick thing^^")
Now that Amaterasu is here, the old Itsumaden asked her to find a Celestial to sacrifice (lol guess who). But this Justice doesn't suit with Ama's mind...

How to beat an Itsumaden
There are basics monsters and easy to kill. There are only females one to fight with. But beware, they can paralyze you a moment with their scream.

Author Note
I pretty like their design? They are interesting characters and reminds me of the Harpies.
So I wanted to make females with a strange humane face O.O They are scarrying when they fight.
