In the darkness of the underworld, the Bakemono signal alarms and warnings over long distances using great horns. These are usually only used far below ground where no human would hear. Tu-ning has brought one of the great instruments to the surface, and for the first time, people have listened to the off-key and mournful note ... though none have yet lived to tell of it. The Bakemono know to go to the horn when it is blown, encouraging more to appear from the shadows and those fleeing to return to the horn as a place of safety in numbers, a rallying point if you will.
There is little known about the Bakemono and even less understood. That they are different from one another is at best a guess, but after years of conflict against them, the Minimoto tells us of one type - so far - that defies any description of any kind. It would ring hollow had it not been reported by so many. It seems that when in the act of dying, the Yami’mure vomits forth an egg or capsule of some sort that immediately opens to reveal twin Bakemono that are at once ready to fight.

Bakemono bodyguards are notoriously tricky and untrustworthy, not so Ook. Ook is a Guardian of the Shadow Council, and having forfeited his will and soul to them, acts as their vessel, now ever loyal to the Bakemono’s twilight cause. Using his diminutive stature to get to where he needs to be, Ook can position himself to protect his charges best, no matter where they are. Not even in death does Ook’s duty end, as the Shadow Council and their heralds can bring him back to fight on their behalf even after his body lies cooling on the floor.
This product provides you with a starter and additional figures that fit the included theme card, as well as the special cards pack for the faction - enough to field a warband at full strength and get you started playing Bushido!
