In Reply To #870 Tech_Paradox posted: In Japanese folklore the Tanuki is a raccoon-like dog with shapeshifting abilities and a set of "big balls" (to quote AC/DC). It's the modern god of gluttony, boozing, and restauranteurs... sounds like a decent guy to me, neh?
I don't know what's scarier – the fact that the Japanese have a fairytale creature that looks like a frighteningly advantaged woodland animal – or the fact that it has anything to do with food. "Look! A raccoon-thing with overly large reproductive organs! That makes me hungry!"
