| - The monsters called Lord Mashima were long, grey-skinned snakes with four short arms and round mounds, featuring a myriad of sharp teeth. According to Kaya, "Lord Mashima" rests underground, protecting her village and its inhabitants, therefore, they praise it as a protecting deity. In its honour, a shrine at the outskirts of the village was built. This shrine features snake-like emblems akin to the monsters. Additionally, the shrine features a hidden underground entrance, leading to the cave where the deities dwelled.

The deity was apparently treated with much respect, since Kaya mentioned the villagers having lived peacefully to avoid enraging it. Also, Kaya prayed to it for her sons' safety and initially assumed their safe return was thanks to the deity's mercy. In actuality however, the monsters attacked her sons multiple times and even swallowed Komichi alive. It was only thanks to the combined efforts of Team Asuma and Team Jiraiya that the children were saved and the monsters were killed after a long, difficult fight.
