E is for Enenra

In Japanese mythology, an Enenra is a monster composed entirely of smoke. It resides in bonfires and, when it emerges, it takes the form of a human.

It is said that an Enenra can only be seen by the pure of heart. 

The character 羅 in the Enenra's name is meant to draw a comparison between the Enenra and the lofty characteristics of lightweight cloth.

  2. If only the pure of heart can see this creature, that can certainly make for a perfect chosen one type of story.

  3. I agree with Alex - I bet some really creepy and cool stories could be created about this creature. Though I wouldn't do it. It kinda scares me.
