The power to use the abilities of dokkaebi. Variation of Mythic, Spirit, Goblin, and Monster Physiology. Korean counterpart to Yokai and Yaoguai Physiology.
Capabilities[]
The user with this ability either is or can transform into a dokkaebi, a class of supernatural monsters and spirits in Korean folklore. They are formed from spiritual possession of an inanimate object such as old discarded household tools like brooms, or objects stained with human blood.
Different versions of the dokkaebi mythology assign different attributes to them. In some cases, they are considered harmless but nevertheless mischievous, usually playing pranks on people or challenging wayward travelers to a ssireum (Korean wrestling) match for the right to pass. Dokkaebi are extremely skilled at wrestling and cannot be beaten unless their right side is exploited. In other tales, dokkaebi only have one leg, so one should hook their leg and push them to win.
It is believed that dokkaebi have immense supernatural powers, can bring good harvests, big catches and great fortunes to humans, and are defenders against evil spirits.
