The betosan is an odd shaped creature. A round blue or purple ball-like body, with two short yet strong humanoid legs, five green orbs for eyes, and a wide mouth full of sharp teeth. The top of the betosan’s body is covered in small yellow fleshy bumps. Betosan’s live in small groups of 3 to 6. They can be found in the dense woods outside of cities or towns, in dark back alleys going through piles of trash, and across the plane of Acheron.

Yokai Hierarchy. Yokai have a strict and layered hierarchy. Yokai reach higher ranks and evolve into more powerful Yokai by a combination of time, experiences, and completing difficult deeds. Generally, it takes a few thousand years for a Yokai to evolve to the next rank. However, to your GM’s discretion certain tasks may expedite their evolution. The lower ranks of the Yokai are listed from lowest to highest; Gaki, Betosan, Yamachi, Akaname, Jikininki, and Oni. When a Jikininki evolves into an Oni, there are three different subtypes that it must choose from when it evolves; Shadow, Spiritflame, or Wicked. An Oni can evolve into one of two different types of Yokai, either a Gozu or a Mezu. When an Oni evolves it turns into one of three different types of Yokai determined by its experiences and personality. Those that pursue knowledge and are gifted in magic evolve into Kappa then Kitsune and finally Red Manto. Those that are bestial in nature evolve into Hakutaku then Ikuchi and finally Amikiri. Those that train in martial combat and weapon mastery evolve into Raiju then Tengu and finally Diyu.
