The Ippondatara (一本踏鞴, "One-Legged Bellows") are surveillance devices used by the Red Tongue organization for covert operations and assassinations.
Overview
Not quite a drone, the Ippondatara is an odd object. They are about the size of a baseball and are much harder than steel. Its most notable feature may be the giant red eye peering around a scene which possesses a wide-span 300° degree view.
Trivia
- In Japanese mythology an ippondatara (一本踏鞴) is an ugly yokai.
- "Ippondatara is a shy yōkai, and tends to stay away from inhabited areas. It moves about by hopping around and doing somersaults. It avoids humans, though on winter days it is not uncommon to find the unique prints of this yōkai’s large, single foot in the snow. While it is mostly harmless, once per year on December 20th, the ippondatara turns violent. Those entering the mountains on that day who run into the ippondatara are squashed flat under its powerful foot. "
