Kuro (KOO-roh) is an oni pitlord from Kamigawa that was active during the Kami War.
Description[ | ]
Like other oni, Kuro's dominion over dark and destructive forces twisted him into a being of pure malevolence. Kuro has crinkled, ashen skin, giant curving horns, a sliced belly with a gaping bony pelvis, and twisted, tentacles arms. Like all oni, he has a large third eye present on his forehead.[1]
Kuro offers a deal. Simple bargains are the most tempting, and oni bargains are the simplest of all: eternal life for eternal service.[2] In this manner, Kuro took many as his minions, including the nezumi Ink-Eyes and the ogre Muzan.[3][4]
