Youkai

Youkai is typically translated as "monster". However, it is quite different from the standard monsters found in the AliceSoft fantasy world.

Youkai are technically not living beings. They are supernatural beings formed out of powerful emotions and thoughts. They are most similar to ghosts, spirits, and phantoms, except with corporal body. It is not uncommon for youkai to be able to transform their bodies in certain ways, though there is often a limitation on the transformation.
