Bake-danuki

Bake-kujira
A skeletal whale yōkai from coastal western Japan, especially Shimane (Izumo) and the Oki region. Appearing offshore as a large white figure that is revealed to be a baleen whale's bare skeleton and attended by strange fish and birds, the bake-kujira is interpreted in sources as a vengeful or resentful whale-spirit that portends misfortune and prompted local placation practices.

Bakeneko
The bakeneko (ばけ猫, "changed cat") is a Japanese yōkai classed as a kaibyō (supernatural cat). Folklore presents it as a household cat that, through age, long residence, or other local conditions, acquires uncanny abilities such as shapeshifting, speech, and vengeance against cruel humans.
Bakeneko yūjo
A stock Edo‑period popular‑culture character: a courtesan (yūjo) who secretly transforms into a bakeneko (a shapeshifting cat). Emerging from rumors around Shinagawa and theatrical/print entertainment, the bakeneko yūjo functions as an uncanny motif linking cats, brothels, and urban anxieties rather than as a codified religious being.
Bakezōri
A Bakezōri is an animated zōri (straw sandal) from Japanese folklore, classified among tsukumogami — formerly inanimate household implements that become sentient after long use or neglect. They are typically mischievous, running through houses at night and chanting, and are generally described as harmless nuisances rather than truly dangerous beings.
Bakla
Bakla is a Philippine social and gender category—commonly an assigned‑male‑at‑birth person who adopts a feminine gender expression and is often treated as a third gender. Historically some bakla served as indigenous ritual specialists (babaylan, katalonan), but the term itself denotes a social identity, not a supernatural being.
Bakotsu
Bakotsu (馬骨, literally "horse bone") is an Edo-period yōkai entry depicted in the Tosa Obake Zōshi as the skeletal, flaming spirit of a horse that perished in a fire. It is an iconographic example of transformed-animal remains in Edo visual folklore.
Baku
A composite supernatural creature in East Asian (Chinese → Japanese) folklore best known in Japan as a benevolent dream‑devourer invoked to remove bad dreams and protect children at bedside. Its depiction and roles developed over time from an older Chinese chimera (mo) into a household protective being with a cautionary moral about overuse.
