Description

Noppera-bō

· The Noppera-bō, or faceless ghost, is a Japanese legendary creature. They are sometimes mistakenly referred to as a mujina, an old Japanese word for a badger or raccoon dog. Although the mujina can assume the form of the other, noppera-bō are usually humans. Such creatures were thought to sometimes transform themselves into noppera-bō in order to frighten humans. Lafcadio Hearn used the animals' name as the title of his story about faceless monsters, probably resulting in the misused terminology.

Noppera-bō are known primarily for frightening humans, but are usually otherwise harmless. They appear at first as ordinary human beings, sometimes impersonating someone familiar to the victim, before causing their features to disappear, leaving a blank, smooth sheet of skin where their face should be.·

Noppera-bō

· El Noppera-bō, también llamado el fantasma sin rostro es una criatura legendaria japonesa. No debe confundirse con los Mujina, otra familia de fantasmas que pueden tomar cualquier forma.

Los Noppera-bō toman generalmente la forma humana, especialmente de una bella mujer. Son reconocidos principalmente por asustar a los humanos, pero son inofensivos. En un principio aparecen como humanos comunes,personificando a veces a alguien familiar a la víctima y luego hacen desaparecer sus propias facciones dejando solo un espacio en blanco en la piel donde su cara debería estar. Esto hace que las víctimas huyan despavoridas. ·
