Eight-tailed Beast Species
I am not surprised if the eight-tailed beast's species type is Ushi-oni (Ox Ogre)also known as Gyuuki as almost all eight beasts are from Japanese folklore and it is the only bull demon that has a spider- or crab-like body supposely. - Daitiansg

Shouldn't the article be moved to "Eight Tailed Demon Ox" now? Omnibender 17:11, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * No cause we can't be sure thats its name, or even if it is an ox. At the moment, it is as it appears to be a ox cephelopd hybrid. It COULD be a Ushi-oni, it could be a very effed up looking ox. It could be a effed up looking octopus. At this point we aren't sure.--TheUltimate3 20:58, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure how reliable translations are, but if someone who can read Japanese can confirm it, it would be great, otherwise we'll have to wait until the plot reaches the US, and that is going to take a while. Omnibender - Talk 00:31, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Even Wikipedia admit that the eight-tailed beast is an ushi-oni.KazeKitsune 01:03, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Eight Tailed Demon
Actually I personally believe that it will become Hachibi no Orochi still because of Orochimaru's current status and the mythology itself. The Hachibi supposedly was weak, but gained power from another to gain power unrivaled by any but the Kyuubi. This leads me to believe that Kabuto will use the flesh of Orochimaru now corrupting his body to do the same to Kiraa Bii or to the bijuu itself causing it to slowly change from the ox/squid like form it has now, to that of the Orochi. It fits both with the legend, and helps us understand why the eight tailed jinchuuriki is so important at this point in time in the story (besides being one of the two remaining bijuu.) It's already been established by Kabuto that Orochimaru isn't completely out of the metaphorical horse race for power yet, although he has fallen far behind...

It's my personal belief that Orochimaru's going to be snuck either on to Kiraa Bii or the Bijuu somehow, and following this Orochimaru will either become the new host or the new Bijuu itself causing the unavoidable clash of the Kyuubi vs Orochi. Again, pure theory.
