good job!

before I get into it I would like to say that I don't mean to offend anyone and there's no guarantee that all the information is 100% accurate

what is the Rokurokubi?

The Rokurokubi is a type of Japanese

Yōkai, which are similar to humans by

their looks. Their necks stretches

wherever, at night. During the day, they

aren't noticed as Rokurokubi, but as

humans, because of their similar looks,

but at night their true form is shown.

Rokurokubi are former humans, who

have done something to make them

a Rokurokubi.

history

the Rokurokubi usually appear in

female bodies, but not always, and

looking like human during the

daytime. At night however, their true

form is shown, where their heads

wander off, attached to their neck.

Their necks stretch long, and are

able to go very far from their body.

Most of the Rokurokubi will know

their Yōkai, while others will think

their humans. When the night came,

and their forms came to show, they

thought those were all just dreams.

random fact

during the day they eat

regular food, but, during the

night, it's lamp oil.

they like to randomly

scare people.

origin

most of the Yōkai are born

monsters, however Rokurokubi—

and a few others, are former

humans. After doing something

evil, a curse is put on them. many

of the cases occur in women,

because they were disobedient,

or because of their husbands,

and/or father's. The curse is put

on the women, and then they

become Rokurokubi. The

curse "only affects women."

legend³

the Rokurokubi is a former

human, typically female, and

who like to scare others

regularly, for fun. Their necks

extend far, and keeps going,

still attached to their bodies,

looking for humans, as prey,

at night, but during the day

they act like normal humans.

some of the Rokurokubi

pretend to be human, and

not Rokurokubi. At times their

necks would get tired, and

would just lay down. During

the day, the Rokurokubi have

a sign, pale stretch marks

on their necks.

───────────────

A female student was suspected

as a Rokurokubi and her master

went to her at night, sleeping, and

when they saw something steamy

come from her chest, and soon

he could see her neck stretching.

───────────────

their was a prostitute whose

neck stretch out and lick the oil

of the paper lanterns when she

had guest, and we're sleeping.
