Water Demon (Monster City)

The Water Demon is a creature that appears in the animated film Demon City Shinjuku. It is one of three demons conjured by the sorcerer Rebi Ra to protect him as he carries out the ritual to open the gates of Hell and destroy the Earth.

History
After Kyoya Izayoi slays the Earth Demon, Rebi Ra becomes concerned that his plan to unleash the denizens of Hell upon the world is in jeopardy. He calls upon the Water Demon to eliminate this threat. The demon finds where Kyoya, Sayaka Rama and Chibi are hiding, possessing Chibi in order to lure Kyoya into a trap.

Come morning, Chibi leads Kyoya and Sayaka across a railroad. Taking a keen interest in Kyoya's bokken, he takes the weapon and steps into a nearby puddle, sinking into it. Kyoya tries to take it back, but is dragged into the Water Demon's realm through the puddle. No longer needing Chibi, the demon releases Chibi from its control and sends him back to his room.

The Water Demon then battles against Kyoya in its watery realm, appearing to multiply before striking fast with its claws. Kyoya soon realizes that the monster is projecting illusions and concentrates, focusing his chi in order to strike. As the Water Demon attacks again, Kyoya is guided by his spirit and he manages to strike the creature, slicing off its head. However, the demon is not yet dead as its third eye suddenly detaches from its head, grasping onto Kyoya's back like a starfish and stunning him. Kyoya almost drowns, but the mystic known as Mephisto turns up and throws an enchanted dart at the demon's eye, destroying it and freeing Kyoya.

Appearance
The Water Demon's body appears to largely be a mass of long, black hair. It has two long arms ending in sharp, clawed digits and has a red-skinned head sporting three eyes, a human-like nose and a fanged mouth.
