Biography

Characteristics

Physical Appearance

Origin

Twisty Hani monsters are based on clay Japanese figures called Haniwa (Japanese: 埴輪(はにわ)). Though many Haniwa resemble soldiers and animals, there are some that are similar to this monster family, with round cylinder-like bodies circular black eyes and mouth, and arms curved upwards on one side, and downwards on the other. This design of Haniwa is popular in pop culture, as many Japanese games model characters and items on their highly customizable and friendly appearance.
