Origins[]
The Betobeto-San is a creature with origins in Japanese mythology, legend and folklore. Its name is made up of the Japanese onomatopoeia for footsteps.
Appearance[]
Often nothing more than a large black orb with legs extending from it body and a large toothy grin plastered on its bulbous head and wooden clogs on its phantasmal feet. These ghostly specters are invisible to the human eye and cannot been seen at all
Behavior[]
Betobeto-San synchronizes its steps with its victim, walking behind them, echoing their footsteps. While not dangerous, it can be extremely traumatic for its victims to hear footsteps behind them only to find nothing behind them. It extremely easy to deter the creature, simply by stepping to the side and saying "After you, Betobeto-San". Eventually, the sound of its wooden clogs tapping down the street will fade away and the creature will be gone
