ONE TALE

[Shu]

The legend of the Shukaku is a tale that stretches back hundreds of years. Spawned from the Jūbi by the Rikudō Sennin, Shukaku and his brethren came to be known as the Bijū. However, the humans of the world only viewed them as monsters, titans to be feared or, when possible, utilized as weapons. With the seeds of hatred planted in his heart and nourished by strife over the centuries Shukaku has rightfully become an avatar of death.

Violent, bloodthirsty, and vengeful.

With his freedom regained the tanuki has vowed to make the humans suffer for their crimes against his kind, but more importantly against him.
