Magatsuhi
Magatsuhi (曲霊?) is the incredibly powerful dragon Yokai created from numerous demons from ancient time that battled the priestess Midoriko before forcing the priestess to trap their souls in what became the Shikon Jewel. As a result, Magatsuhi became the evil corrupting presence within the Shikon Jewel that caused various events in the series that include both the birth and actions of Naraku. Magatsuhi's existence is eventually made known to Inuyasha's group when Naraku gave him a temporary human-like body to act through to assist in the restoration of the Shikon Jewel with the personal goal to completely defile it. As it would later be revealed, Magatsuhi is responsible for sealing Kagome's full spiritual power out of fear of the girl being a threat to him. After losing his temporary body, Magatsuhi resorts to bodily possessions before being dispatched by Sesshōmaru during the final battle against Naraku. It was only after Naraku's death that a reconstituted Magatsuhi reveals the Shikon Jewel's intention to trap Naraku and Kagome alongside Midoriko to prolong its existence. However, with Inuyasha fighting through Magatsuhi to reach her before holding the composing demons off, Kagome destroys Magatsuhi for good when she made a selfless wish for the Shikon Jewel to be erased from existence.
