The yokai whose term can be translated by « monster » or « apparitions » can be from tremendously harmless to tremendously evil.They are immune in the face of any human attack and usually behave quite arrogant .If we don't avoid them, we can have problems with them.

There are many types of yokai.In fact, there are more than 200 , some even hybrid , half animal half man.
