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

==Biography==
The locals of Izumi Settsu heard the commotion and fighting noises from this "melon" ''yōkai'' presiding in the Suika Lands, which led them to travel to the [[Scholar|monk]]-turned-demon hunter [[Mamushi]] to voice their concerns. However, the monk chalked these notions of "bakemonos" as exaggerations yet seldom accepted to investigate these claims.<ref name="The Yokai"/> 

In 1582, coincidentally, Mamushi met the [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Kakushiba ''ikki'']] members [[Fujibayashi Naoe]] and [[Yasuke]] and asked them to investigate all this ''yōkai'' claim. During their investigation in Settsu, Naoe and Yasuke arrived at the farmland and discovered 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 to honor the new "melon lord" of the season.<ref name="The Yokai"/>

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