《The Ultimate Yōkai Guide》Hibagon
Advertisement
This apelike yōkai is thought to look somewhat like a gorilla and stand at roughly five feet tall. Depictions of it vary, with some claiming it has brown fur and others claiming it has black fur. However, it is widely agreed upon that it has large feet. Sightings have been reported on Mount Hiba in the Hiroshima Prefecture, pictured below.
Stories of this yōkai have only sprung up fairly recently, starting in the 1970's. Theories about its origin sometimes propose that it is merely a wild animal. Others believe it is a human that was raised by animals or even a human that was disfigured due to radiation.
This yōkai appears to be docile as sightings are rare, with evidence of it mainly being limited to footprints. Reported sightings of it claim that it quickly fled when spotted.
FUN FACT: This yōkai is actually considered a cryptid, meaning an animal whose existence is only supported by anecdotal evidence or other evidence that is not considered sufficient by mainstream science. In this way, it is similar to a bigfoot or a yeti.
Examples in various media:
Professor Talu Mizuki (The Secret Saturdays) This is an unusual case as this character is a human trapped in the body of a hibagon. The sole remains of the device that transferred his mind into the yōkai's body are visible on his head. The rest of the device and his original body have been destroyed, leaving him stuck as a yōkai.
Ned Lund (Big Hero 6: The Series) Ned was temporarily mutated into a hibagon by a patch placed on his skin while he was unconscious.

Hollow Moon
She doesn't like being told what to do. He knows what’s best for her. She is fiercely independent but he is determined to save her, whether she likes it or not. Del and Nyssa live two very different lives and that’s the way Nyssa likes it. She is beholden to no one so when Del comes knocking on her door, she sends him on his way with a wink and a sarcastic “yeah, right.” When that doesn’t work, she bolts. She just wants to live her normal life; gambling with fairies (the not-so-nice kind), befriending ghouls and painting the future all over the whitewash. No boy is going to get in the way of that. Excerpt: He snagged her wrist gently before she could flounce away, his fingers warm and firm. “You need to come with me, girl,” he said earnestly. “I don't need to do anything.” She was indignant. She knew that sometimes her kind of abilities could be unruly but Nyssa was quite capable of taking care of herself. She’d lived with her abilities since she was thirteen. She’d learned to handle them herself. “It’s dangerous for you to be on your own,” Del said, tightening his grip on her wrist. She pulled her arm from his grip and he let her go. He could force her to go with him, she knew, but he wouldn’t. “I don’t need your help, Superman.” She didn’t look at him. “I’ll be back in a week,” he said, ignoring her protests. “Be ready to leave with me.” He breezed past her, discarding the necklaces he still held on the desk and leaving. Nyssa sighed, watching his back as he disappeared down the street. “Fat chance, Superman.”
