Bestiary Entry[]

Etymology[]

Jogenmushi

Basic illustration of a tsunemotomushi.

Tsunemotomushi derives from a mythical insect in Japanese folklore.

A rogue samurai who led a gang of thugs, murderers and rapists terrorised a small town, but was eventually caught and hanged for his crimes.

His remains were buried at the base of a tree. Every year after his death, from insects would emerge from the tree, all with his face, and they would bring misery and bad luck to those who saw them.

The tale seems to be a folk tale regarding the unusual shaped chrysalis of the Chinese Windmill Butterfly.
