Mikiri max120

A Genma that lives in the water. Lures the unwary in with the human- shaped appendage on the back of its head, then flings projectiles at them, and occasionally attacks up close, too. Can be safely attacked from afar while it's in the water, but it's better to wait for it to strike, then drag it out onto dry land and finish it off.
