The mahoyama no oni or jade oni is a very strange but magically gifted oni. This powerful ogre comes in otherwordly colors like electric blue, jade green or a dark purple and their skin has an interesting luster to it so they appear as if they were carved from semi precious and polished stones. The creature has two heads, one with two eyes and the other with a three eyes and their eyes can be bright exotic colors like gold, purple, blue, crimson red. They are built like other yama oni with a strong and powerful humanoid body with horns and thick shaggy manes and so forth but they have two smaller, weaker arms tucked inside their chest, generally folded in relaxation. These "wizard" arms can actually cast spells while their much larger and brutish oni-arms weild large dadao sabers so they can fight just as easily as they can cast spells and they are able to mix spellcasting with melee combat. Where the red oni is aggressive, rebellious, carefree and warlike and the blue oni is calm, discipline and judgmental the jade oni is strange, aloof, eccentric and having a comedic or trickster nature. He enjoys speaking in riddles, he tries to read human's books, he likes making cave paintings, though generally of slaughter and victory. He seeks counsel with the tricksters, yokai and uraga but he also seems to love drinking with the other oni and smoking water pipes. Being oni he still loves slaughter, banditry and even ravaging the occasional geisha or horse for laughs. But he is a poet among cannibalistic ogres and sometimes wishes to have his magical and artistic expression be expressed by his disdainful brethren.
