According to Yokai.com, "The baku is a strange, holy beast that has the body of a bear, the head of an elephant, the eyes of a rhinoceros, the tail of an ox, and the legs of a tiger. Despite their monstrous appearance, baku are revered as powerful forces of good and as one of the holy protectors of mankind." However it goes deeper then that. These things legit eat nightmares caused by evil spirits. However, if you summon a Baku, you best have legit bad nightmares. For if it is not satisfied? The Baku will consume your hopes and dreams instead. Also in this recording, Bob shares his fears over a creepypasta. This story is about the Pokémon, Hypno, whom was based off the legendary Baku.
