Ho Tzu (呼び子_ caller). A species of mushi that appeared in volume 8, part 2 (Mushishi Zoku Shou), of the Mushishi series. According to Ginko, this species of mushi lives by the seashore and punches holes in the cliffs. They have a body like a black eel and they live in packs. This species of mushi is often attracted to the sound of the flute. Usually they do not affect humans, but when they gather, they are debilitating for people with weak physical conditions. According to Ginko, simply use "starlings_ stones chiseled by Ho Tzu himself and in rare quantities" to call them out of the affected area and close all the holes they place, or you can use the flute to call "Birds". The wind bird (風鳥_ wind bird) comes to hunt Ho Tu, because Ho Tu is the favorite food of the Wind Bird.They are easily attracted by the sound of the starlings in the night and gather to breed.
