The Fang Oni (牙鬼 Fang Oni) is a depiction of the Oni, often mistaken as a different species, that appears in all versions of Ao Oni. Although commonly appearing in the ladder scenes seen in all versions, it is also seen in other parts of the versions aside from Version 6.23.
Appearance[]
Fang Oni looks the same as Ao Oni, however, both of its eyes are wide open, and its mouth reveals two rows of needle-like teeths with two, larger, fangs to the sides. In the mobile remake, its design remains the same with its head being repurposed for the Hunchback Oni and the Frozen Hunchback oni.
Version 1.1[]
Fang Oni appears the most in Version 1.1 than any other version. After, the Ao Oni eats the ladder, hiding inside the only working Closet will cause an unique animation to play out, with the Ao Oni opening the Closet door slower than usually, having its Teeth Oni appearance.
Additionally, the Ao Oni will be have its Fang Oni appearance when trying to climb out of the well during the ending cutscene of the game, and will reappear with its Fang Oni appearance to eat the rope again if the player hides in the Closet after the second rope has been put.
Version 3.0[]
Fang Oni can be found in the Oni Room as a standalone variant, standing in the back of the room. Additionally, the Ao Oni takes the appearance of Fang Oni if the player attempts to escape alone through the well.
Version 5.2[]
Fang Oni can be seen in Takeshi's dream during the ending cutscene, where it slowly opens the closet door, only showing half of its face. This depiction of Fang Oni has a completely different body shape, head and color from the original Ao Oni.
Version 6.23 and Remakes[]
Fang Oni is only ever seen during the scene where the Ao Oni eats the rope in Version 6.23 and its mobile remake.
In Ao Oni 2016, Fang Oni returns as an Oni inside the Oni Room. During the Good Ending of the game, the Ao Oni takes the Fang Oni appearance during the final chase.
Outside Appearances[]
Fang Oni is sometimes depicted in some artworks of the novels, most notably the Ao Oni Forever's cover art, although it is treated as the same thing as the Ao Oni.
