Origins
Onifolk can be the result of a union between an Oni and an unfortunate partner, often resulting in the death of the mother during childbirth. Abandoned by their Oni parent at a young age, Onifolk are forced to fend for themselves from the moment they enter the world. They also could be a demon spawned from a hateful or violent act which has materialized in the world.

Physical Description
Onifolk bear the physical traits of both their Oni and non-Oni parentage, often possessing a mix of humanoid and monstrous features. Their skin may be adorned with patches of scales or fur, and their eyes may gleam with an otherworldly glow. Despite their hybrid nature, they retain the strength and resilience inherent to Oni demonic blood.

Survivors from Birth
From their earliest days, Onifolk display their Oni heritage by instinctively hunting and killing their first prey. Despite their ferocious nature, they are shunned by both Oni and other races, forced to navigate a world that views them with fear and suspicion.

Shunned by Society
Onifolk face prejudice and discrimination from both Oni and other races, who view them as abominations or monsters. Forced to fend for themselves, they learn to rely on their own strength and cunning to survive in a world that is often cruel and unforgiving.

Dream Invaders and Tormentors
In addition to their physical prowess and resilience, Onifolk possess a chilling ability to infiltrate and manipulate the dreams of mortals. Through a touch as light as a whisper, they slip into the subconscious realms, often masquerading as beloved figures from the dreamer's life. In these nocturnal landscapes, they sow seeds of fear and despair, relishing in the torment of their unwitting victims.

Impersonating loved ones and cherished figures, Onifolk exploit the deepest fears and vulnerabilities of their dreamers, feeding on the raw emotions that surge forth. They thrive on the terror they evoke, drawing sustenance from the nightmares they weave.

Feeding on Fear
The nightmares crafted by Onifolk are not merely random terrors but carefully curated experiences designed to extract maximum anguish. They are adept at honing in on the darkest corners of the mind, extracting fears long buried and exploiting them with cruel precision.

Just as they have learned to survive in the physical realm, Onifolk have mastered the art of psychological warfare in the ethereal realm of dreams. Theirs is a predatory existence, fueled by the suffering they inflict upon others.

Ultimately, the dreamscape becomes their hunting ground, a realm where they reign supreme, preying upon the slumbering minds of mortals with relentless determination. For those unfortunate enough to encounter an Onifolk in their dreams, the terror may linger long after they awaken, a haunting reminder of the darkness that lurks within the shadows.

Unyielding Resilience
Despite the hardships they face, Onifolk possess a resilience born of their survival instincts and inherent strength. Determined to carve out their own place in the world, they refuse to be defined by the prejudices of others and will do whatever it takes to prove their worth and earn their place in society.
