"'''Makuwauri no Bakemono'''" was the name imposed on a [[Japan]]ese farmer who lived at [[Suika Lands]] in [[Izumi Settsu]] during the late [[Sengoku period]]. Debating with another [[Suika no Bakemono (man)|local farmer]], they always sparred with each other about whose favorite melon was better. Along with his fellow farmer, his actions led many people to purport that there was the ''[[yōkai]]'' known as the Makuwauri no Bakemono (真桑瓜の化物, lit. 'oriental melon warrior').<ref name="The Yokai">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' — [[The Yokai]]</ref>

==Biography==
The people of Izumi Settsu had been hearing the commotion and fighting noises from this "melon" ''yōkai'' presiding in the Suika Lands. This led them to travel and meet with the [[Scholar|monk]]-turned-demon hunter [[Mamushi]] about their testimonies. However, the monk believed that these notions of "bakemonos" were fabrications yet reluctantly accepted to investigate these claims.<ref name="The Yokai"/> 

In 1582, fortunately, Mamushi spoke with [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Kakushiba ''ikki'']] members [[Fujibayashi Naoe]] and [[Yasuke]] and tasked them to investigate all these ''yōkai'' claims. During their investigation in Settsu, Naoe and Yasuke arrived at the farm and saw both melon "''yōkai''" sparring aggressively with each other. Confronting the men, they were asked about which melon they preferred. Answering the question, they soon fought the opposing farmer and bested them. This resulted in a new "melon lord" for the season before Naoe and Yasuke left and debunked the claim.<ref name="The Yokai"/>

==Behind the scenes==
Regardless of the choice, either farmer will duel the player if they choose suika or makuwauri.<ref name="The Yokai"/>
