Amabie: They are Yokai that give prophecy's of famine and disease.It is said that those who have a picture of one, will be protected from disease. They became subordinates of Ryoko-Sha No Tomodachi after they lost a gamble with him. One of the Amabie, one without a name, came across Ryoko-Sha No Tomodachi one time when he was traveling with a caravan of merchants. The Amabie than prophesied that the caravan would meet a god on their way. Ryoko-Sha No Tomodachi said that they would not. They than decided that they would have a bet. If they came across a god, than Ryoko-Sha No Tomodachi would give the Amabie whatever he wanted. But, if they did not come across one, than the Amabie would have to serve a god of his choice. And so, they traveled and time went by. After a couple of months, they reached their destination, and no god had showed. That was because the god that should have showed in the prophecy was Ryoko-Sha No Tomodachi. Because he did not show, the Amabie had to keep his word and serve a god. Before making his choice, Ryoko-Sha No Tomodachi revealed his identity and asked the Amabie if he would be willing to work for him. It turned out that the Amabie was the leader of his kind. Whatever he did, the others would follow. He accepted the offer, and after that day, all of the Amabie served under Ryoko-Sha No Tomodachi.
