This is a submission for the Anatomically Correct Series.

Originating from Japan, the majority of depictions of Oni (Kijo to refer female Oni/demons) are hideous, gigantic (taller than the tallest man!) ogre-like creatures with a single horn or multiple horns emerging from their heads, yellow eyes, sharp claws, fang-like tusks, and wild hair.

Their habitats are known to be remote mountains, caves, islands, if not Hell. Interestingly their omnivorous diet contains of alcohol (what kind of tolerance could they build up? Would they be immune to intoxication or always acts like it it doesn't even matter?)

One particular interesting thing about them is their skin color. Their most common skin color is red and blue, with red ones being more aggressive and blue ones being more clever(there's also black and yellow skin Onis, but that's easy to answer.) I was thinking what kind of mutation or evolution could cause their skins to match their behavior, or just in general?
