Although tatarimokke are generally harmless (and more often than not treated with respect), depending on how the child died, the yōkai might well seek revenge or retribution🦉😨😱

Not all owls are what they seem.

There is a yōkai (妖怪) in Japan known as a 'tatarimokke' (祟り蛙 lit. 'cursed infant'). These 'owls' have been possessed by the spirit of a dead baby or young child, and will stay close to the family home.
