The Mishaguji (ミシャグジ) are curse gods native to the Suwa region. They are currently under the control of Suwako Moriya, who brought them with her to Gensokyo.

General Information

Abilities

The Mishaguji have abilities as curse gods and as harvest gods. Grain sprouts in their wake, but their breath can render land barren. Suwako also uses them to flatten land and dig tunnels to the Underworld.

Backstory

The Mishaguji were powerful curse gods who amassed large amounts of faith by cursing harvests, births, and the militaries, amongst other things. Although they were fearsome, Suwako Moriya was able to tame them and bring them under her command, gaining a large amount of faith and establishing a small kingdom for herself in the process. When Kanako Yasaka invaded the kingdom and took control of the Moriya Shrine, the shrine's followers feared that their new goddess would be unable to control the Mishaguji and did not give Kanako their faith, forcing her to seek Suwako's help.
