"Nukekubi"@en . . "Houses"@en . . "Nukekubi are monsters found in Japanese folklore and appear to be ordinary people by day but when night falls their heads detach at the neck and fly around in search of human prey. They are considered a subtype of the Rokurokubi and in general the main difference between the two spirits is that the Nukekubi can detach its head while the Rokurokubi simply extends its neck to impossible lengths."@en . . . "Nukekubi were creatures of the Shadowlands similar to Pennaggolans, but less intelligent and devious. They appeared to be human, but at night their heads detached from their bodies, sprouted sharp fangs, and float away in search of prey. They fed on the pain and death-terror of their victims, tearing them to pieces. Their skills at deception were limited, and preferred to keep moving before their depredations drew too much attention."@en . . . "Human flesh"@en . "Nukekubi are humanoid monsters who pass as normal humans. At night, however, their heads detach from their bodies and levitate. Their bodies become lifeless during this process, leaving them vulnerable to attack. As heads, they hunt down humans for food. They like to shriek to scare their prey before plunging their teeth into their throats. However, they must return to their bodies before sunrise or else they will die. As a way to kill them, humans may destroy their bodies or hide them so they are unable to return in time. Nukekubi often live in groups, masquerading as a human family. They can also be detected by red symbols around their necks where the heads detach; however, they can easily hide them with clothing or jewelry."@en .
