Yokai is a term encompassing a large range of otherworldly creatures such as shapeshifters, humanoid creatures equivalent to demons, ogres and goblins of European folklore, sentient artifacts, cursed humans, and certain types of spirits and ghosts. Besides their bizarre nature there is no unifying aspect encompassing all these entities.
