Behavior:
Umi nyōbō spend most of their time in the oceans. However, they are able to survive on land for several days without returning to sea. According to an entry for umi nyōbō in the Yamato honzō, a biology encyclopedia written in 1709, they are unable to speak. However, many folk tales depict umi nyōbō who are able to speak.
Interactions:
Folk tales from fishing villages describe umi nyōbō as fearsome predators who kill and eat humans for pleasure. However, this is not always the case. While they do prey on humans, it appears that they do have a sense of compassion as well, and can occasionally show kindness towards humans.
