Kamaitachi are mythical creatures from Japanese folklore, known for their mischievous behavior and unique abilities. They are often depicted as a trio of weasel-like Youkai, each with a distinct role: the first knocks down travelers with a gust of wind, the second inflicts wounds with its sickle-like claws, and the third applies a healing ointment.
