Homebrew Nekomata oni (inspired by Orient) Species Details

Usually in their non-humanoid form they appear as large cat like creatures with large bodies and heads with a star symbol on their face with a tri-jawed mouth, with no eyes (unless angry, in which they have 3) and twin tails.

In some situations they can be transformed into humanoid forms, in which they usually look like short, chubby (large and muscular when angry), and pale humanoids with a star shape somewhere on their bodies. They retain their white hair, twin tails, and their tri-mouth. They also retain most of their memories and old habits, being extremely evil, and violent when any problem rears itself. 

Usually these type of oni are usually found in another world but somehow a portal into this world allowed some to fall through into our world, of which the nekomata oni were some of them.
