#JLMyōkaioftheday : Tanuki or the Japanese raccoon dog  

Tanuki are considered as powerful magical creatures, much like the kitsune (foxes), which are basically their rivals in magic and mischief. 

Tanuki are generally jolly, playful, and loves to have a good time playing tricks on humans. They also like to shape shift, and their most notable feature is their giant testicles which can shapeshift into anything they want (an umbrella, a parachute, a cart, etc)

They also love to drink and eat tons of food. In fact, sometimes they can even possess a human, causing the human to eat and eat and eat until they pass out. Tanuki possess humans either to punish them for violating nature, or more often, just for the sake of pranks. #japanloverme Art by @littlemisspaintbrush
