Summary:Tsukumogami are old tools, instruments or usable objects of sufficient age to have had their spirits awoken, who have then been ignored and become irritated at others for no longer using them.
Full Details: The wiki link above gives a good basic idea, but a Tsukumogami is basically any tool, musical instrument or usable item that has survived for 100 years, long enough to attain a soul of its own. Having become valued enough to have a soul, if the tool is then ignored or left behind, it becomes wrathful and annoyed at the humans who no longer use it. So, it seeks to play pranks on them, to get their attention, or in rarer cases bands together with other tsukumogami to get revenge against someone who has wronged it. They're not the brightest of youkai, and tend to be single-mindedly focused on getting used and treated with respect again. Their main skills involve not being noticed by humans as anything other than the tools they are, allowing them to sneak around behind their backs and prank them, scare them or in rare cases set up ambushes to attack.
In Gensokyo, within the Touhou Project universe, for inexplicable reasons, all youkai and spirits take the form of eternally youthful female humanoids who bear visual traits associated with their youkai nature (in this case something associated with their object).
Additional Links: Here's a couple examples of tsukumogami: A Taiko Drum (who is less vengeful because she's in use regularly) An umbrella (Who really sucks at trying to scare people by hiding as an umbrella.)
As Parsee puts it. These spirits are pretty minor with rare exceptions, those exceptions (like Hata no Kokoro) being more likely to be appable characters than these minor Tsukumogami.
Other: Let me know if this is still a workable 'creature' imprint. Based on our conversation, it seems viable, but I don't wan to assume. Obviously, this applies more to 'minor' tsukumogami. Ones with detailed personalities and ample lines in the games like Hata no Kokoro would be appable on their own as opposed to this sort of being.
