The mask that represents a demoness who becomes even more furious and looks like a snake is a jya (蛇), meaning 'snake', and the one that is even more furious is shinjya (真蛇), meaning 'true snake'. The masks of jya and shinjya have tongues peeking out of their mouths, and some masks have no ears, making them look more like snakes than humans.
