[lpbestiary]

The Boroboroton is a tsukumogami in Japanese mythology. A tattered futon given life through a century of use, it is considered one of the most wicked and dangerous of all the tsukumogami.

The Boroboroton will wait until someone lies down on it, and then rise up, throwing them to the floor. It will then wrap itself around their head and neck and attempt to strangle them.

Boroboroton 

Strangely enough, Tsukumogami are often well kept antiques that gains a soul due to care and sentimentality, however Boroboroton are old, overused tattered comforters.  They wander from house to house at night looking for other Tsukumogami to hang around with. Despite its pitiful predicament, they are rather dangerous. They will not hesitate to hurt anyone who tries to dispose of them while they rest. As a result, victims will look like they’ve suffered an accidental death. From choking on its tangled fibres to tripping from a considerable height from its dangling, raggedy edges.

Although, Tsukumogami are born from well-kept antiques, there are some that gain sentience from complete neglect. People who don’t care for their kakebuton comforter will find themselves suffocated by their beat up quilt as they lie down to sleep. They’ll twist and thrash their ragged body around in an attempt to strangle their victims. Less vindictive ones just leave and try find new companionship from other Tsukumogami.
