Bake-Danuki
Type	Puzzles Game Systems
Region	Inazuma

Bake-danuki (Japanese: 化け狸) are a type of tanuki found in Inazuma. They have a leaf on their head and a bag around their neck.

Upon spotting a player in the near vicinity, they'll start to dance and make music. When approached they'll disappear and then reappear in a puff of smoke nearby continuing their song. After around 3 or 4 of those "steps" they'll have disguised themselves as some kind of destructible or interactable environmental object (e.g. a small rock stack, vase or brazier, objects which will be highlighted by Elemental Sight). Upon attempting to break the object, they'll drop their disguise and disappear after which their former location can be inspected, dropping a few low-grade artefacts.

Some bake-danukis may "prank" the player by appearing already disguised as a common chest, then revealing themselves and disappearing in a puff of smoke when the player gets close. They leave behind an investigation spot that drops cooking ingredients. One such fake chest can be found along the mountainside path leading to the Grand Narukami Shrine.

Some groups of puzzles objects already present in the world, such as multiple Elemental Monuments, may act as normal until completion of the puzzle and then reveal themselves to all be bake-danukis. Chests will still be awarded for completing such puzzles, as if they were normal puzzle objects.

Their leader Ioroi can be found sealed inside a large statue within Chinju Forest.

Archive

A carefree tanuki that comes and goes without leaving any trace, and that knows mystical arts passed down only amongst their kindred. It has the ability to transform into other objects, including humans.
Although they often tangle with a mysterious organization under the Shogunate, the tanuki are not a wicked lot and only tease humans for fun.
There is but one recorded exception: years ago, the bake-danuki who guarded Chinju Forest started a battle due to some conflict between their leader Ioroi and a kitsune. In the end, most of the bake-danuki were sealed within stone statues.
