#WordWeavers 24. Have you ever created an imaginary animal? What is it like? Part 2

This is a little know JP yokai I took liberties with. The souls of warriors killed in massive numbers in battle who were never given last rites. There name is spells like salamander but said like gecko and appear as gecko.

The below are Japanese soldiers who died in the bombing of Hiroshima.

Snip #KonbiniIdol #Yokai
A man in a deep purple hakama, sporting a sword and dagger, led three guards wearing faded khaki green uniforms. The latter casually held bolt-action rifles. What caught my attention, though, were their bulging eyes with vertically slit pupils and flickering translucent eyelids. Long, thin tongues occasionally darted from their mouths. Thick lizard tails trailed behind them. I instantly recognized gecko-youkai like those in Hiroshima.

This seemed a reasonable extension of the legend.
