Legend[]
Umi-Nyōbō are thought to be related to Iso-Onna and are found in the Izumo Province of the Shimane Prefecture. They are scaled-covered women accompanied by their children and are thought to be the wives of Umibōzu. While normally residing in the sea, they can survive for days while on land.
Once, an Umi-Nyōbō and her child came to an empty house and began munching on a bucket filled with salted fish. When the family returned home, they were frightened by this sight and called for the villagers to exterminate it. However, by the time they got there, the Umi-Nyōbō left and the bucket was now empty.
