***Not much on this one***

This demon dog of Japanese mythology is a good news/bad news monster. The good news: his ferocity keeps other demons away while he's following you. The bad news: If you stumble while walking, he's going to eat you up.

But all isn't lost. You can fool the demon if you pretend you stopped on purpose to take a rest by saying, "This is exhausting," or, "Sure am glad I stopped on purpose and went face first into the ground so I could check out this mud puddle," or something like that.

When you arrive at your destination, you should leave food out as thanks to the pup for not eating you. Then the demon leaves you alone forever. Probably.
