They seem to be bastardizations of the hengeyokai. Shippo isn't a fox demon, he's a kistune (shapeshifting mischevious fox spirits). And the badger guy who's name I cannot recall at the moment is a takuni (shapeshifting trickster badger spirit). If a crow guy show's up, he's not crow tribe, he's a kenku. I'd suggest going to your local library and see if they have a book on Japanese mythology.Sesshomaru's minion (again my memory fails) looks like a minor goblin, and a bunch of the other random demons faced by our crew of intrepid heroes seem to be oni of one sort or another, along witha hebi-no-onna (snake woman) from the first episode. - M</blockquote>
