This “Filth Licker” demon is said to sneak into your bathroom and lick it clean. Yuck.

A demon from Japanese folklore, this unusual creature commonly takes the form of a red and warty humanoid with frog-like features and a long tongue. Its name means "Filth Licker", which is essentially all it does with its life: lick filth. It is known for sneaking into bathrooms and licking them clean – especially those hard-to-reach nooks and crannies. Beyond that, it isn’t really said to do anything, aside from possibly scaring people into a higher level of bathroom hygiene.
