The monster strikes the watchtower’s foundation and shakes Ashitaka and the watchman off, but they safely land on the branches of a nearby tree.Īshitaka then sees that the monster is heading toward his village, so he climbs onto his trusty ride once again and tries to deter it by shouting at it to turn back. Suddenly, an angry kami in the form of a huge boar-like creature covered in worms rushes forth from the darkness of the forest and makes a beeline for the tower. Ashitaka climbs a nearby watchtower and scans the perimeter of the forest with the watchman stationed there.
