The term mamono can be translated in various ways. I will use "monster", to make a difference from the Oni.

Legend from Yamanashi 山梨県
南都留郡 Minamitsuru district 忍野村 Oshino village

.
On February 8, a mamono 魔物 demon with one eye comes around and counts the eyes of the family members, so people hang things with many eyes, like baskets, on the entrance of the home to make the demon go away.
But if the demon can count the exact number, people will begin to do strange things.
