  • Potty Monster Physiology
  • Toilet Devil Physiology

Capabilities[]

The user gains the traits of a toilet demon, a malevolent spirit from numerous world cultures that were believed to exclusively haunt bathrooms, often bringing misfortune and death to any they came across - they are the direct opposite of a toilet deity in that they bring forth disease and other small-scale calamities, it may fall to a toilet deity to help ensure such evil spirits do not inhabit the area but often it also falls upon mortals to keep these spirits at bay (for example by ensuring good hygiene).

Some more modern versions of these creatures must be summoned directly and are shared as urban legends and ghost stories - these are particularly common in Japanese folklore.

Despite the name Toilet Demons do not exclusively haunt actual toilets but rather the bathroom itself, thus they may inhabit bathtubs, showers, mirrors or even the entire room itself and while many of them exclusively haunt the room others are "free-range" demons, who instead must be summoned within the bathroom and once free can go where they please.
