A Kurote is a strange and perverted toilet-demon that lurks in toilets waiting for a victim to enter, where upon it will try to stroke their behind, why they do this is unknown, but it is likely done purely to shock and frighten.
However they can be much more dangerous when provoked.
For example, a samurai would experience first-hand the wrath of a Kurote after he succeeded in cutting off the demon's hand one night after it tried to harass his wife.
Within days, a priest arrived at his home and asked about a strange presence in the home, the samurai brought a box containing the severed hand of the demon only for the priest to transform into a nine-foot-tall monster and angrily grab the hand and flee.
A few nights later, the same samurai would be ambushed by a large figure on a walk home.
The creature trapped him in a bag and stole the sword he had used when attacking the Kurote and tossed him aside while he was not troubled again by the Kurote.
It is a cautionary tale on the dangers even the most seemingly bizarre yokai can hide.
