Fortune Tellers (unofficial name) are non-playable characters in GetsuFumaDen. They are old women inhabiting shrines on the overworld map who will give advice to the player.
Description
Throughout the course of his journey in Raging Demon Island, on the overworld map screen, Fuma will come across several shrines (ほこら hokora) scattered throughout the map. Entering one of these will allow him to speak with its caretaker, an old soothsayer reading a crystal ball who will give him advice, whether it is just a general tip or information about a valuable treasure in one of the nearby levels.
