Satori

Satori are one of a number of [[youkai]] species, and are perhaps the most maligned and misunderstood, more so than even [[jorougumo]]. They resemble short humanoids, with regular humanoid skin tones, hair that can take on virtually any color of the visible spectrum, and most importantly, a protruding, prominent third eye, sticking out of a spherical growth on the satori's head. This third eye is larger than the "normal" pair of eyes, taking up to one third of the forehead's space. The third eye's iris can also take any color of the visible spectrum, but is always a different color from the satori's normal eyes.
 
Satori are among the shortest species of youkai, with an average height of just 4 feet 8 inches. Their constitution is usually very slim, bordering on lithe, with a very low average weight of just 95 pounds for both males and females.
The primary ability of a satori is psionics. They are capable of projecting psionic energy into various techniques; offensively (''psi-blast''), defensively (''psi-confuse'' and ''psi-stun''), or for healing themselves (''psi-heal''). They also possess the gift of psionic analysis - colloquially known as ''"mind reading"''. Through psionic analysis, a satori is always highly alert and reactive, and they can accurately read the true intentions of any creature on sight (even and especially if they are trying to conceal them). If given enough time to observe and concentrate on a single creature, a satori can eventually read that creature's surface thoughts, and further determine intentions or plans, as well as true emotions and feelings in greater detail.
