Disk Animals

Produced mainly for reconnaissance purpose, the Disk Animals (ディスクアニマル) or Onshikigami (音式神) are an advance version of the shikigami that Oni had used in the past. The Disk Animals can switch between their compact discs form and animal forms like origami, and can turn invisible at will. They record the noises made by Makamou and return to their master to reveal the monsters' location in the area. The following kinds of Disk Animals are featured in the TV series:

List and Description of Disc Animals

 * Akanetaka (茜鷹): One of the most used Disc Animals among the Oni. The falcon is light weight and suited for covering terrain from the air, with its sharp wings it is capable of cutting attacks in both of its forms. Its weak point is both its duty and recording time is cut short from the energy it consumes from flight. It is also to be noted that among the Disc Animals, this is the only one proven to have a former Shikigami incarnation, which is bigger and flies faster (based from the movie).
