when I read the lore about kudan, jinjahime, amabie and many other "prophetic animal creatures", it sounds like some edo-era chain mail spam, like

"SHARE THIS PIC TO OTHER 15 VILLAGER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO CATCH <insert plague name>"

Seriously what kind of archetype/youkai category does this guys fit into anyway?
- Maria Kannon : Virgin Mary disguised as a Kannon/Guanyin
- Hitobashira : A youkai based on a ritual
- Jinjahime : A sea demon (Ayakashi)? but is the deity's servant (Celestial)????

Extra : Amabie
A legendary mermaid/merman with beak mouth and three tails. They are famous for their prophecies and their imagery are said to ward off illness

They are said to be based from a similar youkai Amabiko or Jinjahime

Soon after she predicted the cholera epidemics, numerous copycat stories like Kudan and Amabie arose.
