Nikusui are vampiric yokai that appear as young, beautiful women. They stalk mountain roads in search of lone men who are traveling by lantern light. Emerging out of the darkness, the Nikusui flirt with their prey and ask to borrow their lantern. Once they get close enough, the Nikusui snuff out the lantern. And in the pitch dark, they bite into their victim and suck the meat from their bodies - leaving nothing but a drained husk of bone and skin.
