Devil Survivor 2

"A demon of Ishikawa prefecture that takes the form of a kitten and is said to often bewitch people.
Because it has a wide-ended tail and lives in aquatic regions, it is thought to be a type of Kappa. It loves to fool people with illusions that cause them to wrestle with boulders and tree roots, or it may transform into a beautiful woman to seduce them. When a Kabuso tries to pull a prank, it will follow its victim while talking incessantly. Beware, should this happen to you."
