Hachishakusama (八尺様), or often known as the Eight Feet Tall, is an urban legend inspired by Japan. She is a type of Japanese spirit (Yokai) that appears as an absurdly tall female specter that frequently claims to have a deep, masculine or feminine voice and a penchant for preying on young children, mainly those between the ages of nine and eleven. One of her main characteristics is her frequent use of the interjection: "Po" [ぽ]. There's not much information on how she became to be. However, what is known is that she is a Yokai (a malevolent Japanese spirit) who kidnaps children. It's unknown as to where she takes them, but many speculate that she feeds off of children. Other claims include killing or torturing them. She is known for stalking her victims from afar while saying, "Po" and doesn't stop at nothing to get her victims. This behavior can last for days and even months. The spirit can transform into different family members to lure the child away from their family and snatch them. Domain ExpansionAs a Full Turn Action for 30 Cursed Energy, Hachishakusama may unleash her Domain Expansion, covering a radius of 165 ft. All targets within the domain must make a Wisdom saving throw at the start of each of their turns. On a failure they gain the paralyzed condition for the next minute and take 40 (8d10) psychic damage, only taking half damage upon an initial success. Creatures may repeat the saving throw at the start of their turns, ending the condition on a success. The domain lasts for 1 minute, and within it Hachishakusama has advantage on Stealth checks.

As part of expanding it's domain, Hachishakusama may decide if it wants to make it's barrier have vulnerability on the inside in exchange for it being resistant to all damage on the outside. In addition, it may spend additional 5 cursed energy when expanding it's domain to make it perfectly balanced, making both outside and inside have no vulnerabilities or immunities.
