This page is of questionable balance. Reason: There should be a way, for example an investigation check, to discern if the gold is fake or not. How is even Maw of Arivice supposed to work? I read it three times and still do not know. Ravenous Bite is a mess, being too big of a dice, grantin unlimited healing and being mechanically unsound ("size increases by 5 feet") at the same time. And permanent invisibility

This page needs grammatical help. Reason: Greatly strays from 5e terminology

Kaonashi[edit]
Physical Description[edit]
Kaonashi are cursed spirits with erie, expressionless masks. When hungry, they are thin and fade to invisibility at their feet. They have stubby arms and frog like legs. as soon as one consumes a creature, it expands and loses its transparent qualities. as it eats, however, it only grows hungrier. Its maw is abnormally large, and positioned just below its mask, which bears purple, red, or orange markings resembling claw marks. They can produce gold, but said gold becomes useless dirt after a few hours.
History[edit]
The origin of Kaonashi is shrouded in mystery. weather they were banished banished from the spirit realm for their greed and selfishness, or left of their own accord, they now wander the earth bearing a unique curse. They are compelled to give gifts to all they meet, but if the individual accepts their gift out of greed, they are forced to devour them. (or rather try.) A particularly dangerous Kaonashi, known as no-face, Was at one point so terrifyingly huge that his height was estimated to top out at 15 feet.
Society/Beliefs[edit]
Their curse makes it difficult for them to participate in society, and many become hermits. Those that don't join into nomadic tribes. They put little value on life and it is acceptable to eat one another because they believe they are reborn anyway. Those that do it for pleasure or excessively so, however are banished. They still pray to the Spirit Emperor in spit of the fact that he cursed and possibly banished them. Some believe that the Spirit Emperor has abandoned them and seek to satisfy themselves with material things. these ones are doomed to madness. The two groups are currently observing a sort of armed truce that could explode into a conflict very easily.
Kaonashi Names[edit]
Kaonashi are spirits and don't seem to be divided into male and female, so neither are their names.
Some names include: It that crawls in the shadows, Masked one, mouth of midnight, voice of greed.
