Zuishin
Zuishin,1 also known as shrine kami, are a type of kami who protect doorways and religious places.2
Appearance
Zuishin manifest as suits of armor with the partial form of a warrior within; they wield glowing bows and halberds. They stand five feet tall and weigh 120 pounds.2
Ecology
Zuishin can use many weapons, but prefer the bow and are capable of firing healing arrows. A zuishin views its equipment as extensions of itself, treats it with utmost care and never discards its weapons: if a weapon is lost or destroyed, a zuishin can craft a new one in a month.2
Society
Zuishin respect other kami and are always willing to help them, but are only willing to aid non-kami who earned their trust, usually by honouring their ward or providing them with an offering. Of all kami, zuishin are the most devoted to the opposition of the oni.2
