Bahkurin

Bahkurin is a female Baku who makes her debut in Chapter 65, and whose name is revealed in Chapter 69.

Appearance
Her entire body is covered in short black fur except for a patch of white fur that covers her breasts, stomach and pelvic area and stretches around her back (similar in appearance to a swimsuit tan line), she also has white eyebrows. Bahkurin has well muscled arms and forearms and strong finger nails built for digging; she notably has only three fingers and a thumb per hand. She has a short black tail that slightly protrudes from her tailbone.

Although not obese, Bahkurin self-identifies as "a little curvy" due to her body being slightly heavy set.

Hair is cut just above the shoulders except for one bang in the front that extends to her chest.

In Chapter 69 she is seen walking through Tokyo donning a white long-sleeved shirt with a black high-waisted suspender skirt in similar style to a Virgin Killer Outfit.

Personality
Bahkurin has a quiet, polite and reserved personality, although she is not shy or insecure.

As seems to be a common trait with most monster girls, she has a promiscuous streak and is demonstrably quite sexually open as she has no problems with engaging in a group sex party with her two female friends (a Land Animal Harpy and a Kraken) and three human guys they had just met as a means to thank them for chasing off an undesirable man who was accosting them.

She also doesn't like to eat as much as her body would suggest.

Skills and Traits

 * Baku physiology:
 * Dream Eater: As a Baku, Bahkurin can eat nightmares, although she can also eat normal dreams and normal food. As Bahkurin explains in Chapter 69, she can get by with normal dreams, but sometimes, she just wants to eat a nightmare.

Possessions

 * Handbag: Bahkurin carried a handbag while wandering around town when she heard Centorea Shianus yelling about nightmares.

Plot
Bahkurin debuted in Chapter 65 along two other unnamed exchange students at the Sno Ball Hot Spring Resort. They bumped into the three unnamed male protagonists of the chapter before being approached by a few other men. Towards midnight, the protagonists again spotted them in the hot springs, but were beaten by Wani Otoko, who got too comfortable with the three of them. The male trio frightened off the fat man using "tactics", and the girls brought them back to their room to thank them.

Bahkurin reappeared in Chapter 69 after overhearing that Rem Nighdrem had trouble finding people to give nightmares to. Since her boyfriend had supposedly only had happy dreams, and eating nightmares is her specialty, a perfect symbiotic relationship was born.

Zoological Classification
Bakus are a demihuman liminal species that inhabit the jungle and forest regions of Japan. They are thought to eat people's nightmares in Chinese and Japanese folklore and as such they are revered as powerful forces of good and holy protectors of mankind; with "evil spirits" and Yokai fearing and fleeing from their presence.

Trivia

 * Bahkurin's appearance is based on the ; the largest of the four widely-recognized species of tapir and the only one native to Asia.
 * Although Bahkurin's species is referred to as a tapir in the official translation of the manga, she is actually a Baku, as can be seen from her name. The reason for this translation is that the chinese character for Baku is the same as that for tapir.
 * Bahkurin's nipples are inverted. Inverted nipples are a natural condition wheres the nipples, instead of pointing outward from the breast like most average nipples, are retracted inside the breast. As natural as having an "inny" belly button or an "outy" belly button, inverted nipples will harden, grow and 'pop out' just like an average nipple when stimulated, aroused and/or cold, and return back inside the breast afterward. Inverted nipples will also grow and protrude from the breast like an average nipple during pregnancy and breastfeeding. According to a study, about 10% of all nipples are inverted.
 * Bahkurin is the fourth Character in Monster Musume to be shown to posses inverted nipples; the first being Suu, the second being Ricotta and the third being Leechi.
 * Bahkurin's hairstyle is cut to resemble the nose/trunk of a tapir.
