Yamata no Orochi (ヤマタノオロチ, やまたのおろち, 八岐大蛇, 八俣遠呂智, or 八俣遠呂知), also known as Orochi (オロチ, おろち, 大蛇, 呂智, or 呂知), is a legendary Japanese dragon or serpent is considered one of Japan's most frightening mythological monsters. It is considered main antagonist and overarching antagonist in Two Lights as part of Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure sequels.

Etymology

The Japanese name Orochi (大蛇) derives from Old Japanese woröti with a regular o- from wo- shift, but its etymology is enigmatic. Michael Carr notes that Japanese scholars have proposed "more than a dozen" orochi < woröti etymologies, while Western linguists have suggested loanwords from Austronesian, Tungusic, and Indo-European languages. The most feasible native etymological proposals are Japanese o- from o (尾, "tail"), (which is where Susanoo discovered the sacred sword), ō (大, "big; great"), or oro (峰, "peak; summit"); and -chi, meaning "god; spirit", cognate with the mizuchi river-dragon.

Physical Appearance

Yamata no Orochi is a prominent member of the Eldritch Terror known as Dragon God. It has a snake-like appearance, several appendages and horns depending on head and elements, and one tail among seven appendages. Except for having animals with many heads at birth, which are common in mythology and heraldry but uncommon in biology.


Heads

Abilities

Depending on the single element, each Orochi shot head produced the elemental beam independently.


The Airhead shoots turbulent wind and tornado, the Thunderhead shoots multiple amounts of electric energy, both directed and discharged, the Leafhead shoots chlorophyll, the Icehead shoots a lot of dry ice smoke and cold water, the Firehead shoots a mixture of fire and lava, the Waterhead shoots a lot of water or mud, the Rockhead shoots a mixture of sand and gravel that hits the target and turns to stone, and the Lighthead/Darkhead shoots either the energy of rainbow or shadow that causes blindness.


Lighthead/Darkhead, the final head of Yamata no Orochi, orders the undead inhabitants of Yamatai as well as those outside of it, including Marshall Island, Fiji, Kiribati, Guam, Micronesia, Rapa Nui, and other islands, to launch a huge attack on the live inhabitants.


Orochi are strong swimmers and can crawl or dig underground despite their inability to fly. Orochi has the ability to absorb elements from relying on elemental heads, but if the element takes the incorrect element, it can inflict harm or even be killed by extremely powerful elements like fire. It can also inadvertently absorb water, which can cause even more pain.

Weather Phenomenon

Weaknesses

Izanagi, an Isu in Nihon, devised the combined Noh, Hula, and Haka dance that Orochi fears. He later used it to assault his opponents, Whiro, Pele, and his wife, Izanami. Izanagi and Izanami honed their dance between life and death at Kurawaka, a location in Maori tradition that is particularly important in the creation of the first man and woman.


Because the Dragon's Triangle is Orochi's confinement, Ryomen Sukuna appeared from Chiara Wilson's body and ordered his people to perform Noh, Kabuki, Hula, and Haka to disturb the demonic being. The sun and moon are then regurgitated, leaving the Orochi weakened and injured by the Austronesian music. Similar to Bakunawa, many people pound pots and pans in order to disturb the creature. The moon is then regurgitated, and the Bakunawa disappears, never to be seen again.

Ecology

Behavior

Yamata no Orochi is is highly territorial and very dangerous, it will violently attack anything in its domain. Orochi is the archenemy of gods: Kanaloa, Kane, Maui, Susanoo, and others.

Distribution and Habitat

Orochi went through the wall and into Earth's atmosphere, where he was born in Ginnungagap, a nothingness other than Yggdrasil. Orochi arrived in the Japanese Sea after consuming some Yamatos and Emishi, and it now lives in the Hii River on Honshu. It could attempt to scale Mount Fuji in order to destroy Nihon and the entire globe. Yamata no Orochi resided in several past locations, including Izumo Province, the Hawaiian Islands, and Aoraki/Mount Cook, in order to prepare and exterminate mankind and other Earthly animals.


Yamata no Orochi declared itself as Guardian of Yamatai Island and Dragon's Triangle, the possible form of the Dragon's Triangle is Nihon, Hawaii, and Aotearoa.


Tamed

No, because Orochi is godly Eldritch Terror.

Lore

First Emerge - 359.2 MYA BCE

Yamata no Orochi was born and landed on Nihon during the Carboniferous period when it was fueled by the energy of bad influences living on the world and shepherded by the Isu and later demigods.


Holocene - 70,000 BCE

After the Toba Eruption, Orochi was mortally wounded by volcanic eruptions and slumbered in Yamatai; however, Susanoo, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and some other deities survived, and few surviving humans would attempt to understand and remember the events and the Isu by passing them down in filtered oral tales.


Orochi's Downfall - 800 BCE

In 800 BCE, the Isu name Susanoo, after his banishment from the heavenly realm Takamagahara, came down to earth, to the land of Izumo, where he encountered an elderly couple named Ashinazuchi and Tenazuchi, both children of the mountain god Ōyamatsumi. They told him of a monstrous creature from the nearby land of Koshi known as the Yamata no Orochi ("eight-forked serpent") that had devoured seven of their eight daughters.


After a fierce battle, Susanoo lost to Orochi, but his siblings Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu were aware of Orochi's evil character. Orochi, an egg-shaped object that fell from the sky at around 12 a.m., was born from space outside of Amaterasu's residential region. The Yamato, Okinawan, Ainu, Emishi, Korean, Jurchen, and later Polynesian peoples all viewed Orochi as their enemy. The old couple had had eight daughters in the beginning, but every year the Yamata-no-Orochi would come and eat one, until just Kushinada-hime remained. The couple bemoaned the fact that their lone surviving daughter was beyond their power to preserve. Susanoo promised them he would slay the demon in exchange for their daughter's hand in marriage. They gladly concurred.


Susanoo, having failed to save the seven sisters of Kushinadahime through blame-shifting, faced exile from Mount Fuji for deceiving his sister Amaterasu, the sun goddess, and persisting in his battle against Orochi. His father, Izanagi, had given him this power. Initially, Susanoo conceals Kushinada-hime behind a number of dense plants to block Orochi's piercing gaze, and Orochi has no sense of smell (the story goes that Susanoo transformed Kushinada-hime into a comb and hid her in his hair). After giving the old couple instructions to brew a particularly strong sake, he had them construct an eight-gated fence around their home. After that, he had them construct a platform and position a vat to hold sake just inside each gate. Then he urged them to hide and wait while he filled the vats with sake.


Susanoo had eight jars of incredibly strong sake ready in anticipation of his battle with the giant serpent; he drank and gained strength. When the Orochi showed around, it drank all the sake and stuck its head into every jar. Using unidentified substances, the inebriated Orochi quickly fell asleep. After sleeping, Susanoo saw his opportunity and attacked the creature, tearing and hacking it to pieces before taking control of the wandering Azure Dragon and taming it, both of which finally caused Orochi to perish.


When Susanoo heard this, he consented to kill the entity in exchange for Kushinadahime becoming his wife. With his sword, a Piece of Eden, and a taonga—Kusanagi no Tsurugi—Susanoo sliced Yamata no Orochi's head to pieces, leaving one head, causing the Hii River to become scarlet with blood. After repelling Orochi to Hawaii, Susanoo and Kushinadahime married in Nihon.


Two gods, Kanaloa and his brother Kane, witnessed Orochi ravaging all of Hawaii's islands until Māui and his brothers engaged in combat with him, although they were all vanquished in the initial engagement. Because of his remarkable abilities, Maui was able to use his sword to rip Orochi's head and flesh because he had this magical hook—a Piece of Eden—made from the bones of his holy forefathers. Yamata no Orochi escaped to the South Island of New Zealand as a result.


One of its heads remains on its own at the Aoraki/Mount Cook cave. Orochi's defeat was observed by the Maori tribe's Ngai Tahu. The largest Iwi in human history is destroyed when Yamata no Orochi awakens after seven days, but two Isu, or gods, Ranginui and Papatuanuku, who are still alive, use two powerful enchanted jade weapons—a baseball bat and a sword—to mutilate Orochi's multiple heads and its skin.


Ranginui and Papatuanuku fought Orochi because Orochi destroyed Taonga and Whenua before reaching Yamatai Island, the most isolated island in the Dragon's Triangle, which connects Nihon, Hawaii, and Aotearoa. Far from Guam and the Mariana Islands, Himiko, an Isu-human hybrid, survived the catastrophic consequence of the island's isolation from Japan. Himiko is related with the three islands of Taonga, 'ohana, Whenua, Kyokujitsu-ki, Kyōgen, and Kabuki, hence Orochi serves as protector.


No Way to Seaway - 2010-2020 AD

The Japanese royal dynasty immortalized Orochi in Japanese mythology around 1400 AD. Native Hawaiians also created Hawaiian mythology and Orochi itself, which is recounted by Kahiau Kealani and Auli'i Cravalho and her family. Yamata no Orochi, as Desmond Miles now the Grand Master of the Templar Order under Shay Cormac, used Orochi as a key for the New World Order. Queen Arianna and her descendants, her crew, saw this and managed to avoid Orochi's another threat. Templars in Japan were failed the operation for Orochi and the Yamatai Island due to Fukuiraptor's attacks in Kyoto since July 1, 2015.


Two Lights: Kurawaka Izanami - October-November 2997 AD

After being defeated by Princess Arianna, Duke Jericho, the Two Lights members, the UN Peacekeepers, and the Commonwealth of Nations soldiers, Edward Johnson, a Pakeha-Nipono and a descendant of Ryomen Sukuna, uses the amrita and the Pounamu Pearl he stored to revive Yamata-No-Orochi on Yamatai Island and annihilate the entire Pacific Ocean's countries with Orochi's spirit, the heart of Typhon. When the demigods or powerful humans became aware that Orochi's rebirth would result in the destruction of the Earth, they rallied together to put an end to Orochi's life in Yamatai Island.
