NOPPERA-BOU (Faceless ghost)

Noppera-bou is a ghost with a blank face, no eyes, no nose, no mouth and white skin that scares you for a lifetime.

In traditional Japanese culture, Noppera-bou means faceless ghost. They are often confused with Mujina, the Old Japanese word for weasel or badger, a creature capable of transforming into another species. Mujina sometimes transforms into Noppera-bou to scare people, so people often confuse and think these two monsters are the same.

Noppera-bou takes on a human form, at first appearing as a normal person with a full human face that wanders at night in desolate, remote, low-traffic places. When they see someone passing, they will approach, wait for him or her to ask, get acquainted, they will raise their heads, reveal a blank face with smooth, white skin that scares the opposite person, and runs far.

They are scary but harmless, just like to scare people and have no other purpose.

Noppera-bou often comes in groups and take turns threatening a certain target they have noticed. They have the ability to copy the faces of family members of the victim, the object they target. They wait for the person to arrive, will remove the mask to reveal a blank face and slowly enjoy the fear of the victim.

Noppera-bou will follow, haunting until the victim walks away in fear. If they haven't fainted on the way but still get home, they will go to the place where the "prey" lives and transform into their loved ones and then scare the victim into unconsciousness and then go find someone else to play until dawn.
