Key items are unique objects in Ōkami and Ōkamiden, which are required to progress the main story and certain side missions. They are only available from a specific source, and automatically advance the relevant mission when brought to the required location or person. Although key items appear in the Tools item menu, they are not usable and are located in their own section. 'Biteable' objects are also considered key items, although they are not actually stored in your inventory, and can only be carried by Amaterasu. They do prevent her from barking and digging, and can not be taken away from their original location. The most common biteable objects are exorcising arrows, which are used to kill lockjaws. Not all of these are named however, such as the gear dropped by Lechku in "Oki's Unauthorized Act".
