Original fileFace, Kasha (cropped)
The creature has wide, pale eyes with pronounced pupils, sharp fangs, and a snout-like appearance, with its body colored in shades of vermillion. It wears a cloth loincloth patterned with light-colored circles over its waist and displays sharp, hook-like claws on its hands and feet. The background consists of dark, atmospheric grey clouds that contrast with the vibrant, elongated tongues of fire trailing behind the demon as it moves toward the left.
The Kasha is a yōkai from Japanese folklore associated with funerals; it is said to descend from the sky in a ball of fire to steal the corpses of those who committed evil deeds during their lifetimes.
