Topic: Kumiho


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  Kumiho
The kumiho is typically pictured as taking a female form when transforming into a human being (as indicated in the encyclopedia entries), but the kumiho in "The Maiden who Discovered a Kumiho through a Chinese Poem" turns into a young man who attempts to trick the maiden into marrying him.
The hunter was able to warn the children that their mother had been killed by the kumiho, and the kumiho intended them to be her next victims.
The kumiho of "The Kumiho and the Samjokku (Three-legged Dog)" ("Kumihowa samjokku") is married to another Chinese emperor, and she shows vampiric tendencies in wanting to suck the blood from her intended victim, the hero of the tale (she is foiled by the hero's three-legged dog, who attacks and kills her).

 ExaltedWiki: CaptainPenguin/Kumiho
Kumiho, who was a little child, whirled through the forest, dashing amongst the trees and prancing upon the heads of the very surprised Sloth People who were consumed with climbing slowly about on the floor of the woods.
Kumiho can take the shape of two rather ordinary looking humans (a male and a female) and of a selection of ten animals from throughout the eastern forests, including a small elk, a forest dog, a badger, and a pair of birds.
Kumiho's mentor, an elderly and ailing Lunar named Shadows Under Water, is possessed of a supernatural disease which eats away at his Essence and cripples his mind.

 Bloodlines International - KUMIHO, "She's More Than A Were-Shapeshifter" by Frederick J. Mayer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
KuMiHo literally means "Nine Tale Fox," whether or not it's "a" or "the" is used will be discussed later, this creature usually is spoken of in a manner as KuMiHo becomes its proper name almost on par with "Dracula" in the West.
KuMiHo's main attribute or ability is her power to change at will into an equisitly beautiful and strikingly charming proper young Korean maiden.
When KuMiHo is in human form, she is ever so physically "human" in her conjugal affection or in the comsummation of her marriage(s) and she can bear her husband children.

 Bloodlines International - Were   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
KuMiHo, in some ways, is the Eastern version of the West's femme fatales or "vamps" when she is in her maiden form, unless, she is taking the marriage route to her humanity.
KuMiHo does not weave "spells" or whatever; one is either attracted normally to her (that special "chemistry" or even animal magnetism) or she just traps you almost as any fox would its prey and, selectively, eats you.
KuMiHo, after a certain period of time after the "consumation" of the marriage, offers the jewel-like shiney marble as a token of her love to her partner (it does contain a part of her in it, but nothing occurs when not in use during their kissing).

The Kumiho may have long life spans but this does not mean that they are invulnerable, many fall prey to accidents or other factors before reaching this phase.
The Kumiho can control this, however, sometimes they may slip-up and allow this glow to show especially if they are weak or very stressed.
Although it is doubtful that these creatures exist, it is rumoured that a number of Patoxian officials are actually Kumiho and the nation is secretly controlled by them and an ancient Kumiho council chamber exists under the Patoxian Imperial Palace for their use.

I established with 1 Infinite Loop (without thinking to clearly) that there was an ancient civilization involving his Nekomimi and my Kitsunemimi and Kumiho with ruins to be found around The East Pacific.
Therefore the Patoxi and the Kumiho who guided and basically founded their civilization cannot exist in the same timeline...
That and many other problems convinced me to scrap my history and to try and redo it so there are similarities with the old one to keep my nation intact with out the nation imploding due to logic.

Interestingly enough, cultures who have not been exposed to classical romanticization have managed to retain some remnant of authenticism.
In the East (particularly China, Korea and Japan), Mythological figures such as kumiho and dragons have managed to retain their mysterious qualities and have not been completely forgotten or transformed into popularizations, as has been done in other regions pertaining to mythological figures.
Conversely, Western mythology on the Sidh have become so romanticized that it has nullified a great deal of abilities to draw from ancient sources in order to determine the differences between Sidh and Faerie (if any exist at all).
