Dodomeki
Devourers of treasure, dodomeki do
Greed incarnate, the dodomeki are covetous, fiendish yokai
infatuated with wealth and thievery. They take a distorted,
humanoid form, with flesh covered in twitching, bulging
eyes as black as a starless night. Their arms are grotesquely
extended, their hair grows long and dark, and their grasping
claws are vicious and swift.
Deadly Treasure Hunters. Dodomeki stalk those who
radiate the stench of affluence, which dodomeki detect as
a sickly, sweet aroma. Cloaked by invisibility and aided
by a supernatural stealth, they brazenly pick the pockets
of nobles in broad daylight, retreating before their theft is
detected. Should a wealthy merchant or courier with an ex-
pensive cargo be caught alone, a dodomeki will reveal itself,
reveling in cruel slaughter before meticulously stripping the
corpse of all valuable possessions.
Insatiable Hunger.
not keep hordes as dragons do. Their aching hunger for wealth
is insatiable, and although they usually target gold, a dodome-
ki can covet and consume any object that inspires avarice in
others. Because they target only those bearing riches, some
impoverished communities view their existence as divine retri-
bution for those who wield financial dominion over others.

Wealthsense. The dodomeki can sense the direction of any
valuable objects within 100 feet of it, including beyond total
cover, as a saccharine aroma. The greater the greed an object
inspires in others, the more potent the stench.

with its Wrenching Claw attack on its turn, it steals coins that
the creature is carrying worth a total value in gold pieces
equal to ten times the slashing damage dealt.
