"The otherwise sleek coat is covered with bloodstains of an unknown origin.
Some employees may brag about the bloodstain as a symbol of courage, but it has been there since the archetype was extracted. Perhaps it is the commemoration of all the tragedies of the past and the future.
People used to be afraid of machines in the beginning, but a mechanical rebellion soon became a myth of the past in our world."

An invisible force surrounds him, unseen and unnoticed by all but a supernatural eye is a monstrous beast with a long weasel-like body. Adorned with long sharp claws and gnashing teeth it is aggressive in protecting its host and lashes out when threatened.
-------------------
The yokai Kazarisu is shaped like a long-furred body animal, similar to that of a weasel of some kind. Stretching to be around 1 foot long ending with two short legs on one end and a head on the other, its paws are long sharp claws that can easily hook into and slash at prey. The beast has a white coloration to it with a black-tipped tail, and eyes of shimmering blue, and inspects anything that comes close as it hides itself on Ricter.
Interestingly enough, no one can see it, touch, or even feel it- until someone attempts to bring harm to its host, in which it will attack with its claws or teeth, aiming to blunt the damage somewhat and retaliate. However, when his host is damaged they work to stop the bleeding in some way, using its supernaturally healing saliva to seal wounds.
