I found another interesting youkai. It is called Hone-onna. Details below:

Hone-onna (lit. "skeleton woman") is a youkai whose true form is that of a skeletal woman. It disguises itself as a beautiful maiden to lure unwitting men into having sex with her while she suck them dry.

Oh, she was in Journey to the West 1-2!

In number one she was a villain who's true form was a skeleton and her flesh is her 'clothes'.
I can't remember what happened, but she used this spell to make this guy fall in love with her then......then Sun Wukong killed the guy?

In number 2 she was a good guy, but she never really uses her powers *Until she became possessed and Sun Wukong beat her back to her true form, the skeleton*

And that's all I know.

Wasn't that story about the Peony lamps about this Youkai?

Her name's Otsuyu right? I think she's a Hone-onna.
