Dodomeki

Dodomeki is a generic type for Orochi's army in Warriors Orochi 2 where he is only playable in Survival and Versus modes. He is obtained after the player collects 5 "ingredients" in the game. He is based on a yokai listed in the book series, Konjaku Gazu Zoku Hyakki. In the novel, the ghost is described as a pale, lanky woman with no facial features who has elongated arms adorned with thousands of eyes.

Since he is a generic officer, clones of him on the field are attributed to this character, being named after spiders in the Western ports and yokai in the Eastern ports. After the game was released, however, a member of Koei Warriors cracked Warriors Orochi 2 and it appeared as if Dodomeki and his counter part Gyūki were originally meant to be actual playable characters. These two characters eventually became playable in their own right in Warriors Orochi Z. He has no personal image section in the Gallery Mode and has no other alternate costumes. He can be unlocked as a playable character in Warriors Orochi 3 by viewing at least one ending.

His height in the Warriors Orochi series is 180 cm (5'11").

Role in Games
In the third title, Dodomeki starts to take more significant roles in battle. He often appears as the commander of the stage in rescue missions in the past and is entrusted with more important tasks than his fellows. In the original timeline, he is encountered the last time before facing Orochi X together with Gyūki as the last line of defense. After the player has at least watched one of the game's endings, he is encountered in the main camp of the party where he states that he has been taken here to atone for his crimes. He does not have special relationships with other characters.

Character Symbolism
Dodomeki's third weapon takes its namesake from Ongyōki, one of the four demons who served Fujiwara no Chikata. They appear in several myths, but they are mentioned by name in Taiheiki, a gunki monogatari of the Heian period. Each demon had different colored skin and unique abilities. Ginki was a golden colored demon whose hardened skin could repel any weapon. Fuuki was a reddish tinted demon who had the power to control the winds, blowing away any enemy who opposed him. Suiki was an azure tinted demon who could manipulate the waters at will and flood anyone who opposed him. Ongyōki was a dark colored demon who could conceal his own body completely to ambush his foes. Using these four demons, Chikata opposed the imperial family and conquered Iga and Ise Provinces. He was unstoppable until a song to deliver heavenly punishment was attached to the demons' necks. As his supernatural servants dispersed, Chikata suffered a quick defeat. Legends also identify the demons as legendary ninja. As a side note, these four demons appear within Orochi's army using the generic Orochi general models.

His fourth weapon is named after a phrase used in Japanese mythology to exile someone or something from a particular plane of existence. The first part of the phrase is "god night", literally meaning that the gods will turn a blind eye to the one who is banished.
