How to befriend

Origin
Swosh is based on the umibōzu ("sea monk"), which is also his Japanese name. This youkai appears as a pitch-black, oily giant emerging from the sea causing huge waves, staring down at ships with huge brilliant eyes. The name "monk", like for other similarly named youkai, is owed to its smooth, round head, like a monk's shaven scalp. Seasoned sailors know to remain silent and sail by quietly if they spot one, because this youkai dislikes screaming and loud noises, and will promptly smash the source of its annoyance to bits if provoked. Some sources claim it's actually a giant octopus, or an enormous sealion.

Name Origin
"Swosh" could refer to the sound of the rolling waves.
