However, unbeknownst to Ninetails, Amaterasu evaded the beast and used a holy device found in the Sunken Ship, the Lucky Mallet, to defeat Blight, whose defeat allowed Amaterasu to clear the mist from Sei'an City. It helped Amaterasu enter the ship and, using Rao's Prayer Slips, helped her conquer the demons within, but this was actually a plot to lure in the Water Dragon to consume Amaterasu: indeed, when the Water Dragon began chasing them on the way back to shore, it used its supernatural abilities to escape and left Amaterasu to the dragon. It then claimed that the Fox Rods were actually a powerful holy object sought after by Queen Himiko and claimed they were in the Sunken Ship, a wrecked ship in the ocean near Ryoshima Coast sunk by the Water Dragon. In the form of Rao, Ninetails had Amaterasu retrieve Rao's Prayer Slips, incredibly powerful paper slips capable of defeating demons which it needed to further its disguise. However, when Amaterasu and Issun turned up and threatened to overturn their plan, the evil demons were forced to get rid of the interlopers. With the help of Blight, it poisoned Sei'an City with a toxic fog. Weakened, Ninetails was forced to kill and impersonate priestess Rao of Ankoku Temple to enter Sei'an City and get close to Queen Himiko in order to kill her before she could find the location of Oni Island. Ninetails gravely wounded the Water Dragon, but in the process the Dragon was able to pull Ninetails' Dark Instrument, the Fox Rods, the source of its power, from its grasp and swallowed it before returning to the bottom of the sea. However, when Ninetails threatened the Dragonian race, King Wada used the Dragon Orb to harness the powers of the Water Dragon and rose to face it. ![]() Nothing of Ninetails' history prior to the events of Ōkami is known, other than the facts that it was the ruler of Oni Island, and that Yami had promised it to be lord of Ryoshima Coast. ![]() Ninetails can perform a charging headbutt across the arena, submerging its tails into the ground, following Amaterasu, in an attempt to spear her from below, raising its tails and spraying a toxic liquid, charging Ninestrike with dark energy before delivering a devastating slash, rapid slashes and stabbing with its own Dark Instrument, and last but not least, using the Celestial Brush with its techniques of Galestorm, Cherry Bomb and Icestorm. In battle, Ninetails uses Ninestrike, the seemingly dark copy of Seven Strike, and other fighting techniques that are copies of Amaterasu's abilities, as a mockery of her. However, when all of Ninetails' tails are destroyed but the central one, then the demonic kitsune is revealed to be a mere old and beaten up fox with a single tail and a lost eye (which was previously covered by its mask). ![]() Ninetails wears a white mask with red markings, as a mockery of Amaterasu's divine appearance. The central tail, which houses Ninetails' true form, also has a necklace of red beads around the mask. Each of its long tails ends with a brush-like tip dipped in red ink, and hoods with masks just below the brushes. As stated, Ninetails is a nine-tailed kitsune with golden-coloured fur.
