Kikurage (キクラゲ) is an elite sorceress and a prized member of the En Family. She is supposedly a female with the ability to reanimate the dead. She has a great affection for En and Ebisu.

Kikurage is a small, pink, chimerical creature. It has long, furry ears, cloven hind legs, and stubby forelegs. Two of its most notable features are the tiny black horns protruding from its head, as well as its devil-like tail. It has brown spots on its back and often leaves its long tongue hanging out of its mouth.

Kikurage wears a red mask sewn with several holes for horns, mouth, and ears.

Quite self-centered and only concerned with eating, En and Ebisu spoil her like a baby. Childish and sadistic by nature, she enjoys playing with insects, killing them and bringing them back to life to continue playing with them. She hates corpses, as well as the stench of decay, and often doesn't bother reviving them. She only uses her magic when persuaded or on a whim.

-Resurrection Magic. Kikurage's magic can resurrect anyone, provided there is enough of a body to revive them; even a head was sufficient, but it required life support. In the case of magi, their demonic tumor must be intact, but Kikurage also appears to repeatedly revive a cockroach in order to manipulate it, so non-magicians only need a functioning corpse. This magic does not heal wounds, so if the body is not repaired beforehand, it will simply die again. There is no apparent limit to the number of times a creature can be revived. This is also the only magic presented with white smoke instead of the usual black.
-Blade Collar. Kikurage wears a small collar given to her by En. When frightened or attacked, the collar launches several blades as a defense mechanism, though it can only do so once before needing to reset. The blades are launched with enough force to embed themselves in wood, but their primary purpose is to give Kikurage a chance to escape her attacker.

En found her after killing her previous owner, a wealthy sorceress with no powers of her own. The sorceress hid Kikurage inside her dress and revived corpses in her mansion during her "Death Feasts." The rule for attendees was that they must offer generous gifts along with the corpse to be resurrected. En desired to be the sorceress's mate, so he proposed to her, only to discover traces of black powder on her dress. Realizing she was an imposter and outraged, En transformed her head into a mushroom and left her to die, but noticed the creature inside her clothes. Realizing it was the true source of magic, he made Kikurage his pet, affectionately calling her his companion.
