Today's blog post will be about a Yokai called Yuki Onna. Just a little warning first though. This post can get a bit dark or creepy in some parts. So, proceed with caution if you get scared easily. Now then, on with the post! This Yokai actually inspired the Pokémon Froslass, and the Yokai Frostina from Yokai Watch. She is commonly depicted as being the soul of a women who froze to death in a snow storm. They are said to haunt the mountain they perished on, too. They are supposed to have unearthly beauty, and their skin is supposed to be extremely cold. Their skin is also as white as the snow, and they have long black hair. Although the natures of these Yokai vary, they are usually said to kill unknowing people wandering on their mountain by freezing them or leading them astray. However, some will also let people go. Depending on the circumstances, that is. Even though this Yokai has inspired many characters in Anime, I don't think I would want to meet her in person! The stories of this Yokai are still quite interesting, though.
