Naruto Information > Demons

In Naruto, there are 9 demons known as Bijuus. Bijuus are beasts of
immense power, practically over-flowing with Chakra. Each Bijuu is
identified by its number of tails. So far we have seen 3 Bijuus:
Kyuubi, the 9-tailed fox, Shukaku, the 1-tailed raccoon-dog, and most
recently, Nibi, the 2-tailed cat. The Jinchuuriki are the hosts of
these beasts. Jinchuuriki are needed because the only way to defeat the
Bijuu is to seal them within a newborn baby.

Shukaku (1 tail)

Shukaku is a 1-tailed raccoon-dog. Shukaku has had 2 hosts, with Gaara
being the most eminent. The Shukaku was merged into Gaara when he was
born. It is able to manipulate the special sand within Gaara's gourd
without Gaara needing to control it. The sand can block all incoming
attacks that it can react to. The sand can also be controlled by Gaara
to form a shell around him or to attack. Shukaku seems to want blood
and demands that Gaara kill for sustenance. Gaara believes Shukaku's
spirit to be his mother's. A side-effect of having Shukaku within him
Gaara is not allowed to sleep; if he does Shukaku will take over him
and reform itself out of sand around Gaara as seen during the invasion
of Konoha at the end of the Chuunin exams. Much like Naruto the
citizens of the Sand Village ignore and try to avoid Gaara, mostly out
of fear. Later on, the Shukaku is extracted from Gaara resulting in his
death. However, a combination of Chiyo's jutsu and Naruto's chakra
brought him back to life. The Shukaku is currently in the hands of the
Akatsuki.

Nibi (2 tail)

Nibi
is a 2-tailed cat with fire breathing powers. Nibi's Jinchuuriki is a
girl named Yugito from the Village of Cloud. She is the second
strongest ninja in her village and she has the ability to transform
completely into the two tailed demon cat almost at will. The demon cat
can shoot fireballs from her mouth at her opponent. Yugito seems to be
like what Gaara was to the Sand Village, the trump card of the Hidden
Cloud. Unlike Gaara and Naruto, she doesn't seem to have problem with
people around her. This hints that the demon in her isn't hated by
everyone and she is viewed by others how the Hokage wants everyone to
view Naruto. Yugito gets captured by the Akatsuki, just like Gaara, so
they can extract the Bijuu out of her.

Sanbi (3 tail)

The
three-tailed beast is a gigantic, turtle-like demon. The abilities of
this creature, at the moment, are unknown. Sanbi is extremely large and
also has great speed. What makes the Sanbi unique from the other
demons, is that it does not have a host and it doesn't seem to have any
sign of intelligence. According to Deidara of Akatsuki, not having a
host makes it weaker because it isn't intelligent enough to control its
own strength.

Yonbi (4 tail)

Other
than the fact that this demon has four tails, nothing much else is
known, not even what animal it is. The host of this demon was an
elderly man. He can be recognized by dark marks under his eyes, most
likely from the demon. This man uses many elemental fusion techniques
when battling, which could be some of the powers from the demon. This
4-tailed creature was captured by the Akatsuki after Kisame killed its
host.

Kyuubi (9 tails)

Kyuubi
is the 9-tailed fox sealed within Naruto. This Bijuu attacked the
village of Konoha 12 years nearly destroying the village and all its
inhabitants. The 4th Hokage sacrificed himself, using a technique known
only to him and the 3rd Hokage, and sealed Kyuubi in an infant named:
Naruto. Because of the Kyuubi, the villagers ignored Naruto and viewed
him as a nuisance leaving him sad and alone. The power of the Kyuubi is
so great that when Naruto is cut or wounded Chakra leaks from the wound
and heals it almost instantly. Naruto is able tap into Kyuubi's power
by begging it to let him borrow Chakra. When Naruto becomes enraged the
Kyuubi takes over his body and forms a Kyuubi-shaped shell of red
Chakra around Naruto.
