Nuppeppo: grants eternal youth and power
Me: I'm about to go Sun Wukong on this guy

[darkknight]

I don’t understand this, we already have enough videos on Nikacado Avocado

[glasscardproductions]

Oh wow! I didn't know Nikocado Avocado was part Japanese!

This thing was in Nioh 2. It's definitely a sight when you first see one. Thing is creepy as hell when it walks around

[TaosoftheVoid]

That last shot was perfect. For anyone curious, that comes from the game series Nioh, it's like dark souls except during one of the bloodiest periods of Japanese history and throw in the supernatural. In game it's a very durable yokai, I still don't know how I feel about them.

"Can out run just about anyone"
"It will grant you eternal youth and power"

Me: *Goes Usain Bolt on that creature*

[levithompson]

I'm assuming that D&D's Nupperibo is based on this monster. Interesting.

[delsings]

For some reason I imagine that thing having the same type of voice as Droopy Dog 🤣🤣🤣

[lunatic-k]

I remember fighting this guy in Nioh 2

[Dr.Manninton]

Some dude: "Fuck the Nupeppo"
Dude 2: "What the hell? No!"
Some Dude: "If eating it gives you power than what do you think fuckin it will do"
Dude 2: "I fear you sometimes "

[nightsoul]

I remember this creature, back when I was first getting into urban legends and scary story this was one of the first urban legends I saw. I cannot remember the YouTube channel I saw it on tho. It was one of the situations where I was basically channel surfing and I saw a video about this

It was 6-7 years ago at least

[jbak]

Eat ugly monster tk become immortal.

Mythology guy: No!

A Japanese mythological creature has never been more relatable

[eaglehood]

If I remmeber correctly, these things are also one of their explanations for decomposition. They would disguise themselves as humans and slowly eat the flesh off of already dead people. Yeah, basically scavengers. Circle of life I guess.
