Mushi-Shi

Mushi are the most elemental life-forms in the world—beings that simply exist, untouched by ideas of good or evil. Taking on countless shapes, they can imitate aspects of nature, from plants and illnesses to strange phenomena like rainbows. Even so, that definition barely scratches the surface; for most people, Mushi go unseen, and reliable knowledge about them is rare.
