Background
Mothers often warn their children whilst young 'don’t wander off or the Bakemono will get you!' said more in jest than warning.
Little did they know that the monsters of fable would soon become reality.When in numbers the Bakemono appear fearless and swarm forward from the shadows, a tide of hate intent on drowning those before them.
The will of the brave faltering and the sky darkening is often a prelude to their appearance.

In-Game
Bakemono Beaters are some of the more expensive 'Horde' Bakemono, paying a premium for their weaponry (+1 To-Damage Roll). However, they lose out on Combo-Attack or Reach, which is a rather large detraction from their flexibility. Often, their expense is hard to justify when compared with Speamen, Bushi, Archers, and Raiders.
Strengths
- Better weapons than most Bakemono, which helps them more reliably deal damage when attacking
- Low cost, flexible, and disposable. Do not be afraid to use your Bakemono in suicidal ways if it stops your opponent from scoring
Weaknesses
- Like all other 'Horde' Bakemono, they pay a 2-3 Rice additional cost to use "Summon from the Shadows"
- Their stronger weapons are a moot point when Frightened
