Kuchisake-Onna (The Slit Mouth Woman)


Origin: Japanese Urban Legend
Habitat: Streets
Behavior: Aggressive

Description:
  • A once before now hideous woman with a bloody smile carved into her face. Usually seen with a surgical mask over her face before she shows you what's underneath.
Facts:
  • Kuchisake-Onna was a beautiful woman who was found in bed with another man and her husband in a fit of rage took a large pair of scissors and carved a smile into her face from ear to ear. He then asked her, “Who will think you’re pretty now?” and decapitated her.
  • Her spirit walks the streets of Japan and when you encounter her, she approaches you and says, “Am I pretty?” and if you say yes, she will take off the mask and ask again. 
  • If you reply to her by saying, “You’re ugly.” she will kill you with a large pair of scissors and if you say “You’re pretty” she will carve a smile in your face to make you as ‘pretty’ as her. 
  • However, if you reply by saying, “You’re average.” She will stop and get confused giving you enough time to run away from her.
  • The Kuchisake-Onna possesses super-human strength and speed and is able to kill off people in the blink of an eye.
