Do you think it's possible that creatures similar to the bijuus in Naruto might exist in some realm and can be conjured and bound?

Well, they probably do, in the naturoverse. You can get a binding if you want from darklordmidnight. Get a character binding from one and/or all of them.

I think the Bijuus are the tailed monsters right? I expect they very well are capable of existing. :thumbup: I'd expect them to be quite dark. I know the nine-tailed fox was dark.

Yep, Bijuu is translated as "tailed monster":)
Outside the Naruto and other manga/anime realms, Bijuu is based on existing mythology from this realm.

Jubi, the 10-tail, is based on Ame-no-hitotsu-no-kami, Shinto kami of blacksmith who has one eye. Other possibility is Ippon-Datara, a mountain spirit with one eye and one leg. Others said he's based on Daidarabotchi, a titanic yokai as large as mmountain range and can move mountain with ease. The ten-tailed is based on the kitsune's tail addition myth. Some said that Inari, the deity of kitsune, has ten tails.

Kyubi, the 9 tail, is obviously from the nine-tailed fox stories, like gumiho. The name Kurama is from the name of a mountain said to be a dwelling of Sojobo, the tengu deity. Reiki was first fund in this mountain as well.

Hachibi, the 8 tail, is based on bull. Its name, Gyuuki, is another pronunciation for ushi-oni, the oni with the head of a bull.

Shichibi, the 7 tail, is based on rhinocerous beetle. Its name, Choumei, most probably from the 12th century Buddhist hermit, Kamo no Choumei.

Rokubi, the 6 tail, is based on sazae-oni, a yokai who looks like a turban snail. The name Saiken is probably from a Chinese legend about saiken, a dog-like creature with closed eyes.

Gobi, the 5 tail, is based on sagari, a hanging head yokai, plus bakekujira, a whale yokai. Its name, Kokuou, can also be tranlated as "king of a country", below the emperor. The kanji letter for Kokuou, however, is from Chinese King Mu of Zhou.

Yonbi, the 4 tail, is based on satori, a monkey yokai who can read mind. The name Son Goku is obviously from the Monkey King, Sun Wu Kong, from Journey to the West story.

Sanbi, the 3 tail, is based on turtle yokai, suppon no yurei, plus the sea yokai, umibozu. The name Isobu might come from isonade, a shark yokai.

Nibi, the 2 tail, is of course from nekomata, the two-tailed cat yokai.

Ichibi, the 1 tail, is also obviously from tanuki, the Japanese raccoon yokai.
