Hyōsube({{lang-ja|兵主部}} or {{lang|ja|ひょうすべ}}) is a child-sized river monster from Kyūshū that lives in underwater caves. It prefers to come out at night and loves to eat eggplants. It is a cousin of the supernatural yōkai in kappa folklore.^[1]

Origin

Hyōsube were dolls that were brought to life by a magician and used to build a shrine. After the shrine was finished they were dumped in a river. They were believed to be named after Hyōbu-taifu.^[2] They are found generally in Saga and Miyazaki prefectures in Kyushu.^[3]

Description

Hyōsube are small creatures with hairy bodies and bald heads,^[4] sharp teeth, and long claws.^[1] They live in rivers but like to come out at night and get into people's bathtubs. Once they are done using the bathtubs, they leave them smelly and covered in greasy hair.^[1]
