They had terrifying looks with their lips greatly torn, with an extremely ferocious expression, loose, long, and unkempt disheveled hair, fangs, and sharp claws, furthermore, their body was huge with a height of three meters. Their body which was covered with ragged cloth was certainly that of a woman. But their skin was white like a corpse.

Yomotsu Ikusa: Numbered thousands, tens of thousands of times than Yomotsu Shikome. They were the corpse demons that served the goddess of death Izanami.
