---Harionago---
-- Barbed Haired OR Hook Haired woman--
----------------------------------------------------------------
My first post of 2021, this month's posts will mostly be Yokai :)
============
Japan the Land of the rising sun, is full of fascinating myths and legends with yokai of all shapes and sizes.
Today's post is about a long haired fem-fatal called the Harionago.
She's a Human like yokai that is considered very dangerous.
---------------
Alternative spellings...
Harionago, and in some areas Harionna ...
This long haired vixen is as dangerous as she is beautiful, those unfortunate enough to encounter her
often meet an unfortunate and painful end..
The Harionago is believed to resemble a beautiful young woman with very long hair..
However, unbeknownst to her potential victims her hair is tipped with extremely sharp thorn-like barbs.
She has full control of her hair, and she can use it to lash out like a whip, wrap around a foot
to trip you or simply use it to ensnare her target.
She is believed to wander the roads of the Ehime prefecture in Japan on the island of Shikoku.
When she finds a young man to her liking, she will laugh at him, and if the man laugh back,
she will drop her barbed hair and quickly attack.
--------------------------
She is a fast and rather fearsome yokai, not only for the speed f her attack's but also for the
fact that at first glance she looks just like any other girl with long hair.
Her favorite haunts are the dark road of Shikoku late at night, She looks like young woman
with loose and somewhat disheveled hair.
However with a closer look, the tip of each of her hairs are fitted with a needle-like
barbed hook , unfortunately if you are close enough to her to to notice the hooks, it is
probably already too late for you.
==========
She wanders the streets always in searching of new victims, her favorite victim is usually young
single men walking home alone late at night.
If she takes an interest in a passerby, she smiles at him. (or sometimes giggle) If the smile
back or acknowledges her, she will attacks... she lets her hair down, and the barbed ends
lash out with unimaginable speed and seemingly a will of their own though she can control them at will.
The barb's begin sinking deep into her victim’s flesh.
Her hair strength is said to be comparable to steel cables, it is so strong that even the
strongest man can be easily overpowered by her hooks.
Once her victim is ensnared and rendered helpless, she rips him into pieces with her hooks
and then eats the remains.
===
If you are relatively fit, and your home is VERY close to where you encounter the Haironago, you
may have a very slime chance to escape her.
If you do manage to somehow escape her grasp, she will still chance you and continue to try and break into your home.
Like most Yokai she will vanish at sunrise, so if you can survive her attack until then you will be safe.
However you may need to buy a new front door as the old one will have large gouges and slashes taken out of it from her vicious attack.
======
So the next time your out late be cautious of whom you interact with, and maybe don't try to pick up strange girls you just meet lol.
