[mistermonogatari]

箕借り婆 "Mikari baba"

During cold, winter nights odd entities creep about silently in the shadows looking to steal possessions.

Seeing as these creatures resemble old beggars, many will take pity on them but this often leads to misfortune. This yokai is crafty and will resort to truly underhanded tactics to get what it wants. They also enjoy 'borrowing' eyes from their victims to add to their macabre collection.
