Also known as: ヤマタノオロチ, 八岐大蛇
A gigantic serpent (or Dragon) in Japanese Mythology with eight tails, eight heads, and glowing red eyes.
Susanoo-no-Mikoto (the Shinto god of the sea) tricked the serpent into getting Drunk off Sake and cut up it into pieces with his Ame-no-Habakiri sword. Later he found the Sword Of Kusanagi in one of the orochi's tails.
