| Nekomata |
In the legend of the Two Tailed Nekomata, the Nekomata is a Bijuu in the form of a cat, and possesses the power of death. This Bijuu lives in a placed called “The Forest of Death” in Hokkaido, to the north. His appearance is a black cat with black feathery wings. His master is the God of Death himself. The Nekomata feeds on dead people’s spirits, and can summon these to fight for him, he uses a third eye at the top of its head to consume the spirits.
Japanese folklore says that Nekomata looks like a domestic cat, but they have two tails instead of just one. They are also able to walk upright on two legs like humans, but only when unobserved. Nekomata are furthermore said to morph into demons when angry.
