Konaki Jijii is a comical, absent-minded elderly youkai who attacks foes by latching onto them and turning to stone, which drastically increases his weight and pins them down. He and Sunakake Babaa frequently operate as a team. The original konaki jijii is a spirit said to manifest in the forests of Tokushima Prefecture as a weeping baby. If an unfortunate traveler picks it up, its weight grows until it crushes him.
