Amabie (Nioh 2)

Amabie is a guardian spirit from the game Nioh 2.

Biography
A guardian spirit with long hair on its head, and covered in fish-like scales. It rises out of the sea to bring word of impending plagues, telling those who will listen to draw a picture of it and show it to others in order to stop them falling ill. Illustrations of an Amabie, documenting one of its visits, can be found on tile block prints from the Edo period. Although their appearances differ, the behaviour of the Amabie is very similar to that of other yokai, such as Jinja-hime and Umidebito. The pattern of appearing to warn of approaching disease, along with its image being used to ward off illness, is also reminiscent of Hakutaku, leading some to believe that the two entities are somehow connected.
