A Mekurabei is a terrifying type of ghostly yokai that manifest as gigantic mounds of skulls and severed heads that challenge the living to macabre staring contests, while it is unknown what would happen to those that lost such contests the Mekurabe's sheer presence makes them more than likely a malevolent kind of spirit, yet the key to defeating them is to brave the visage and stare the monster down, which will ultimately cause them to vanish.
