viα ladysstoneheart: EAST ASIAN MYTHOLOGY MEME: [3/6] LEGENDARY CREATURES | HONE-ONNA
Hone-Onna [Skeleton Woman] is a female demon in Japanese Mythology.
Men see a beautiful, alluringly dressed woman provocatively walking the streets and assume that she is a streetwalker. In fact, she is not averse to a sexual relationship and may even initiate the tryst. She doesn’t want money, though.
What Hone-Onna seeks are lives. She is in fact, not a prostitute nor is her beauty real. It is an illusion, a magical glamour that she is able to cast in order to veil her true identity. Hone-Onna is really an animated skeleton dressed in sexy clothes.
She is a vampire but not the blood-sucking kind. Hone-Onna drains men of their vital life essence during sex leaving them desperately weakened, ill or even dead. Maintaining the illusion of herself as a flesh-covered beauty may tire her. Once the man has been entrapped or after sex is over. Hone-Onna usually abandons the illusion, allowing her true skeletal form to show. Hone-Onna is a creature of the Yin world, the world of ghosts. She craves yang energy, absorbed via sexual intercourse with men. She is not otherwise aggressive, although she can be scary. Hone-Onna may chase away those who do not serve her purposes such as women or men already in a weakened state by allowing her true form to be seen. Generally, people freak out and flee, allowing Hone-Onna to hunt for more desirable victims.
