Tailed Beast

The are nine giant demons that serve to drive the plot of the Naruto series. They are differentiated by the number of tails they have, with each possessing an amount from one to nine. The tailed beasts are large, living forms of chakra, sometimes referred to as, giving them power that far outmatches most shinobi. However, this immense strength is tempered due to their bestial nature, which restricts them from being intelligent enough to use it effectively. When the tailed beasts are sealed within humans, they are able to benefit from the knowledge of their hosts, giving them the ability to speak and better utilize their powers. Akatsuki has been capturing the tailed beasts and their hosts, and as of the Fourth Great Shinobi World War possess seven of the nine beasts.

Trivia

 * Only four people are said to have full control of the tailed beasts. They are Madara Uchiha (through his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan), Hashirama Senju (through his special Wood Release technique), and the two jinchūriki: Yagura and Killer Bee.
 * The Seven-Tails and the Eight-Tails do not actually have tails. The Seven-Tails has six insect wings and one tail connected to the tip of its abdomen, while the Eight-Tails has eight cephalopod arms.
 * In the second Shippūden movie, it features a creature called the Zero-Tailed Masked Leech. Despite having a numerical tail name, it is never called a tailed beast and has characteristics that are quite different from the real tailed beasts.
 * Several non-jinchūriki shinobi, such as Kisame Hoshigaki and the Fourth Raikage, Ē, have been said to hold chakra levels comparable to that of a tailed beast.
 * According to some fans, the Legend of the Tailed Beasts is a story from Japanese folklore which Masashi Kishimoto, the author of Naruto, draws from to create the tailed beasts in his work. However, it is an example of internet-based fake lore which originated from this Japanese site. The veracity of the legend breaks when it was cross-referenced with non-fandom sources on Japanese folklore. For example, the isonade, which was thought to be the Three-Tails, is in fact equipped with only one large, hook-covered tail; and the hōkō, which was thought to be the Five-Tails, actually has no tail at all. Additionally, the author of the story admitted it was not a true legend, unfortunately it has gone largely unnoticed by most fans of the story.
