The Land of the Rising Sun is full of urban legends. One of the most popular is that of the rokurokubi.
Ever heard of these humanoid creatures, usually women, with their necks that can grow longer?
...
The legend of the rokurokubi originates from Japanese mythology during the reign of the last shogun dynasty, better known as the Edo period (1603-1867).
A beautiful and attractive woman by day... but at night the rokurokubi undergoes a metamorphosis. Her neck extends and she starts to hunt. Some rokurokubi are unaware of their condition and blame their nightly stalking of human prey on nightmares, while others are well aware of it.
