Binbōgami

Binbōgami is a spirit from Momotarō Densetsu.

Anguish and misfortune brought on by rolling a die? Perhaps he's actually the spirit of Mario Party.

Binbōgami (貧乏神, "Spirit of Poverty") is not really a villain, but every time he tries to help someone, such as Momotarō, he screws it up...and he never knows when to quit, so he keeps causing trouble.

He attacks with his giant die, which causes different bad things to happen to his foes depending on the outcome of its roll. A certain roll will turn Binbōgami himself into Mini-Bonbī, which greatly reduces his own offensive power. His best roll turns him into King Bonbī, which induces all four of the negative effects of his die in all his opponents at once. He can also attack through disgusting habits.
