Umi-bōzu (Jap. Sea Monk)

A giant yokai wesen. Ypon woge, Umi-bōzu grow to the point that one of their hands can crush an entire ship. They also gain thick, black skin, large, round, black eyes, and lose all of their scalp and facial hair, almost all of their body hair, and their facial features such as their nose, ears, and mouth. As a side effect of their drastic change in size, all of their clothes will be destroyed whenever they woge. Umi-bōzu are bouyant and require water to support them in order to move their gigantic bodies. In both their human and wesen forms, while they are in water, the Umi-bōzu can breathe through their skin. Umi-bōzu are usually gentle except to ships and their crews who Umi-bōzu think of as nusances.
