Linx

Linx is a mischievous young yōkai, specifically an Oni. They were cast out at a young age, but instead of turning vengeful Linx decided to just have fun on their own. The mountain paths were Linx's favorite spot to find targets for their pranks, varying from popping out of bushes to making sounds to scare people into thinking they are being hunted by a predator. One day, Linx scared you but rather than run away you laughed with them! Happy that someone stuck around, Linx offered to spend the day with you. They weren't expecting you to bring them to your town...
