A monkey-like creature from Japanese folklore, Yamachichi are believed to come from bats. It is said that when a bat lives a very long life that it can transform into a Yamachichi. These creatures resemble monkeys but they have pointed mouths and lips constantly poised for sucking. They usually live deep in the mountains but they will come down at night to visit houses.
Yamachichi live on human life force. They will sneak into a person’s house when they are sleeping and steal the breath from their bodies while they sleep by sucking it out of their mouths. After sucking away all of its victim’s breath, the Yamachichi will tap on its victim’s chest before fleeing. A human who has had their breath stolen by a Yamachichi in this way will die the next day.
If a Yamachichi is caught in the act of breath stealing, either by the victim or by someone else, it will run away. This will actually greatly increase their victim’s lifespan instead if killing them.

Saul done fucked up and all of Israel pays the price. God really loves an underdog though, helping David survive and accrue power on the sidelines as he gets built up to be the good king.
This is some real Game of Thrones-ass Bible with the fallout from Saul’s death and David’s coming and going as he keeps having to fight off the Philistines and others. And I thought Kings was a 2-parter but now you’re telling me there’s ANOTHER TWO chapters of king-making?
I was sour over being made to dwell in the dark, but I understand now. The rest of it bowled me over and now I’ll gladly replay those segments with more appreciation. I can’t get enough of conspiracy board gameplay.
Like: it’s so weird and VERY Sam Raimi horror-goof. Dislike: too many moving parts and definitely hindered by MCU tie-in fluff. EEAAO is my multiverse of choice this season.
