Baku (獏) are benevolent spirits that devour nightmares. It's said that if you wake up with a nightmare and chant, "Baku, baku, I give you this dream!" that he will eat it so you may never have a reoccuring nightmare. One of my personal favorite beasties from Japanese mythology :)

Hee! Thanks so much! And yeah, traditionally it's supposed to be a chimera of Chinese origin with elephant, tiger, and ox. Some people think these days that it was an interpretation of a tapir. The word for baku can actually refer to a tapir in the modern sense just like kitsune is interchangeable with a real fox and the supernatural kind :3
