About Kanibozu
Kanibōzu are giant crabs that disguise themselves as priests and haunt temples. They move into old, empty temples and harass people living nearby. When a priest visits or is dispatched to lead the temple, the kanibōzu appears and demands they answer a riddle. Failure results in being eaten.
