In Japanese folklore, the Gashadokuro, (がしゃどくろ) also known as the Odokuro,[citation needed] is a giant skeleton, "fifteen times taller than an average person."[citation needed] If a Gashadokuro sees a human, "it will grab it and attempt to bite its head off."[citation needed] Gashadokuro are created from "gathering bones from people who have died of starvation."[citation needed] The only way a Gashadokuro can be detected before it appears is by "hearing a ringing in one's ears."[citation needed]
