Doki

The are three beings summoned by Tayuya. Their eyes, ears, and mouths are all covered, a reference to the three wise monkeys, though they can hear normally. Tayuya plays various melodies on her flute to control them, each melody causing them to perform different actions. All three are incredibly strong and fast. In addition, they can open their mouths to release a many-mouthed, snake-like creature that consists almost entirely of spiritual energy, making them impossible to hit. These "spirit snakes" are attracted to physical energy, and absorb it on contact, allowing them to weaken an opponent.

Shikamaru is able to capture the three beasts in his shadow through a flash bomb, though Tayuya demonstrates for the first time the ability of a ninja to recall or send away their summon, possibly because they seem to lack a will of their own.
