PFS StandardSnow Oni

Snow oni maintain their seething temperaments even in their icy homes. The isolation of their environment gives them trappings of asceticism, and many snow oni pursue physical perfection, reveling in the process of turning their bodies into powerful fighting machines. They are just as hedonistic and brutal as any of their brethren, however, and eager to indulge in warm baths, strong drink, and humanoid flesh.

Like many oni, snow oni possess a third eye in the center of their forehead. This eye gives snow oni a mystical sense that allows them to peer through even the thickest flurries of snow.

Oni

Source Monster Core pg. 252
Oni are large, brutal creatures originating in Tian Xia who resemble humanoids with brightly colored skin, tusks, and horns. Though commonly mistaken for fiends, the first oni were originally kami, tutelary nature spirits. These kami suffered a terrible trauma, losing their sacred wards to dramatic disasters or the callousness of others, and as a result transformed into the violent creatures they are today. While some believe that oni can be spiritually placated through proper ritual worship that transforms them back into kami, many of these would-be saviors fall to oni's notorious brute strength, flesh-rending teeth, and command of storms.

Oni possess the ability to disguise themselves as other humanoids. They are rarely creative in their disguises, often choosing a specific appearance similar to their oni form and sticking with it. This simplicity catches many by surprise, however, as people assume oni are limited to a single alternate form, which is by no means the case.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Kishin Oni

The mightiest oni are powerful quasideities known by the title of kishin, possessing unique powers and isolated mortal domains. The most powerful is Inma, the Empress of the World, but Akuma the Horned King, Murona the Dark Mother, and Nataka the Red King are also worshipped.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Oni Origins

The first oni originated in the nation of Minkai on the continent of Tian Xia. Whether due to prevalent local kami— particularly in the mist-shrouded Forest of Spirits—or its peoples' faiths, Minkai is a hotbed of oni activity

Sidebar - Related Creatures Other Oni

Different oni exist across the continent of Tian Xia. Village oni mask their golden skin and four-fingered claws in human form. Other oni include night oni, which lurk in darkness and smoke, void oni, with their malevolent shadowy flames, and the awesomely powerful storm oni.
