Kasa-obake are one of the more common and beloved forms of tsukumogami, the creatures spontaneously created from antique objects. Despite their grotesque appearance, kasa-obake are friendly and playful creatures. They love to play pranks, moving small belongings, rearranging furniture and, their favorite, sneaking up behind an unsuspecting victim and planting an oily lick on the back of their neck. The paralytic ooze that drips from their tongue wears off quickly.

Many urban monsters, both good and evil, delight in the appearance of a kasa-obake and will adopt them as a mascot. Kasa-obake are naïve creatures and can take after their monstrous cohorts as a child raised badly may turn to wicked deeds themselves
