|---|---|---|---|
| A large Oni resembling a four-legged beast, they earned their name due to the way they slice through the wind as they effortlessly move about. They fly nimbly across the battlefield and attack with a sense of purpose, which has led to the deaths of many Slayers.[2] 四足獣のような姿をした、大型の“鬼”。風を切って疾駆する姿から、この名が付けられた。 俊敏な動きから繰り出される鋭い一撃によって、多くのモノノフが命を散らしている。[3] | |||

| A large Oni resembling a lion, they earned their name due to the way they slice through the wind as they effortlessly move about. They nimbly traverse the Otherworld, and attack Slayers on sight with a sense of purpose that makes it seem as if they are hunting them. 四足獣のような姿をした、大型の“鬼”。風を切って疾駆する姿から、この名が付けられた。 異界内を俊敏に駆け回り、モノノフと見るや襲いかかる。 その様は、明確な意思を持った「狩り」のようでもある。[1] | |||
Appearance[]
Windshredders are large, lion-like Oni with a mostly golden body. Their face and chest skin is blue and they have tufts of yellowish fur on the top of their head and on their lower jaw. They have two horns with red-tinted tips, small, orange eyes, four legs with three claws each and a tail with a club-shaped tip. They also have many stripes across their legs and back, as well as what seem to be lines of hardened fur sticking out backwards. When they enter a rampage, two horn-like blades grow in each side of their head.
Combat[]
"Windshredders are fast and tricky opponents. Destroying their legs will make them easier to handle."
—Wind Shredding Tiger description.
Destructible parts[]
- All legs and the tail can be severed and purified. The front legs and the tail can also be completely destroyed in Toukiden 2.

Attacks[]
- Leans back and quickly jumps forward.
- Jumps to the left and then forward.

- Scratches to the side with its right or left front leg.
- Swings its tail twice, creating two shockwaves. Hit targets may be stunned. If the tail has been severed, the shockwaves are nullified.

- Does a backflip and roars, surrounded by a whirlwind. This is used every time it enters this state.
- Jumps forward while spinning, then quickly repeats it in another direction. If the airblades have been broken, the range of this attack is reduced. Sometimes, it may first spin backwards.
