Aragami -
plant-based demon creatures. (Many forms, usually huge
and mutated). Their souls are in small blue seeds, or
"mitamas", which join themselves to other
creatures (an insect, frog, jellyfish, dog, plant, etc.)
and grow to grotesque size and power. Destroy the seed,
and destroy the Aragami. The TAC invented a number of
scientific methods of killing Aragami, including
light-pulse weapons and injected plant toxins. Kusanagi
would just tear them apart, and Sakura would use charms.
It often took all of these and more to put down an
Aragami. Many Aragami were out to cleanse the world of
humanity or kill the Kushinada, but others had more
mundane motives like finding a new place to live or
avenging some wrong done them in a previous life. See
another Aragami type

Murakumo (aka
Yamata-no Orochi) - eight headed dragon god of the
Aragami, often appearing in convenient foppish human
form. (Long black hair, pale skin). Worked with Kaede to
return Susano-Oh rid the world of humans, creating a
great plant kingdom. Loved to smack around Kusanagi since
he had eight mitamas and Kusanagi had seven. Murakumo
turned on Susano-Oh and Kaede when he determined that
they weren't going for the same Kingdom of the Aragami he
was. See Murakumo close up

Kaede Fujimiya -
Kushinada and Aragami collaborator. (Short, dark hair and
peaceful air). Kaede disappeared and was feared dead, but
instead was cooperating with the Aragami in secret. She
believed in the renewal of Nature that destroying all of
humanity (or at least turning them into plants) would
bring, but at the end was convinced by Momiji to relent
and that she and Lord Susano-Oh should go back to sleep. See

Lord Susano-Oh -
"Outcast God" and head of the Aragami. First
defeated the Orochi and married the first Kushinada in
ancient times, now reborn in modern times. Grew quickly
from baby to full adult form Handsome and unspeaking, he
generally just grew at the center of the plant complex
designed to bring the Aragami plan to fruition. |
