shikigami are said to be small ghosts or kami in the onmyodo belief system of japan.
They are said to usually be invisible though there are some that can show themselves as small animals. Skilled practitioners have been known to banish them into specially folded and cut paper manikins through special rituals.
If the practitioner is well introduced and experienced it is said that his/her shiki can possess animals and even people, but an unskilled practitioner attempting to control one can quickly find their shiki getting out of control and even attacking them in revenge.

They are often said to have been use by their masters to execute dangerous orders such as spying on enemies, stealing and tracking.
