 Tsuchinoko   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Often elusive but just as often spoken about is the tsuchinoko, a particular kind of creature that resembles a plump snake with a head that can only be described as adorable.
Although some are quick to point out that the appearance of a tsuchinoko may be misleading, and that they exhibit terrible ferocity, it is entirely unlikely this is true; almost nobody believes them to be harmful or vicious, and there has not been a notable or well-known story of anyone being harmed by one.
Certainly tsuchinoko are among the most lovable and interesting of youkai, but like some others very little is known about them.
