| 11 | [[folder:Eika Ebisu]] |
| 12 | [[quoteright:168:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_touhou_ebisu.png]] |
| 13 | |
| 14 | ::''The Miscarried Riverbed Idol'' |
| 15 | ::'''Eika Ebisu''' |
| 16 | |
| 17 | -->''"Y-You… How dare you mock the art of stone-stacking! Unforgivable! Dieee!"'' |
| 18 | |
| 19 | A spirit of a miscarried child who became a god, and leads her fellow ''mizuko'', the miscarried, stillborn, and aborted spirits of Children's Limbo. She's a master of stacking stones. |
| 20 | ---- |
| 21 | * AlternateCharacterReading: In the demo, her name is given as Eika in her intro card, but Youka in the boss bar; the full game corrects it to Eika in the boss bar. |
| 22 | * AnimalMotifs: Her design is meant to evoke a jellyfish, and her leitmotif is even called "Jelly Stone". |
| 23 | * CheerfulChild: Despite her origins she's described as always cheerful. |
| 24 | * DeathOfAChild: Her core concept, being the spirit of a miscarried infant in Children's Limbo together with the spirits of the other infants who never made it to full term. Junko may well be the only other ''Touhou'' character who goes anywhere near this, with the loss of her son. |
| 25 | * TheLeader: Something of a leader for her fellow ''mizuko'', as she turned their pointless busywork of constantly stacking stones into something fun and meaningful thanks to her skill at it. |
| 26 | * LittleMissSnarker: She gives the following line after she's told the protagonists are going to hell. |
| 27 | -->'''Eika''': Oh, you're going to hell? Sounds about right for someone like you. |
| 28 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://youtu.be/DyI9J1NyRoE "Jelly Stone"]]. |
| 29 | * OurGhostsAreDifferent: The spirit of a miscarried child. |
| 30 | * OurGodsAreDifferent: She happens to be a god of fortune, and her surname is likely a reference to Ebisu of the Seven Lucky Gods. |
| 31 | * SeriousBusiness: Her stacked stones. She threatens to kill the protagonists for barging in and toppling the piles with genuine fury. Justified in a sense as those stone piles mean a lot to the ''mizuko'' she's looking after. |
| 32 | * StealthPun: She's really good at stacking stones and is associated with stones more generally. Her {{Leitmotif}} uses electric guitar and intense drumming. It's ''rock'' music. |
| 33 | * UndeadBarefooter: She's an UndeadChild and goes around barefoot, since she has no sensation of discomfort to worry about. |
| 34 | * UndeadChild: Since she's a ghost, although she lacks the creepiness usually associated with the trope. |
| 35 | * UnusualEars: Outsized ear lobes, referencing visual depictions of both Ebisu of the Seven Lucky Gods and Jizō, the guardian of ''mizuko''. |
| 36 | * WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Subverted. As per tradition of any WarmupBoss's abilities, being good at stacking stones isn't much of an ability... except in a situation like Eika's, where she's using it to keep her fellow ''mizuko'' entertained. |
| 37 | * YoungerThanSheLooks: Looks older than she would've been at her time of death. |

| 40 | [[folder:Urumi Ushizaki]] |
| 41 | [[quoteright:177:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_touhou_ushizaki.png]] |
| 42 | |
| 43 | ::''The Guard Parenting Living Fossils'' |
| 44 | ::'''Urumi Ushizaki''' |
| 45 | |
| 46 | -->''"Feeding time for my ancient fish just rolled around. Heh heh heh... Excuse me, but could you watch my baby for a moment?"'' |
| 47 | |
| 48 | An ushi-oni who used to have people sink into the Sanzu River by having them hold a stone baby statue for her, before Gensokyo's rules against attacking native humans made her run a fishing business on the Sanzu River. Her ability is increasing the weight of nearby objects. |
| 49 | ---- |
| 50 | * AnimalMotifs: Has a coat based on the pattern of a Holstein cow hide. |
| 51 | * TheBeastmaster: Has tamed numerous giant extinct fish and other extinct denizens of the Sanzu River. |
| 52 | * BoobBasedGag: In ''Who's Who of Humans & Youkai'', ZUN makes multiple jokes in his character notes about her apparently very large breasts. |
| 53 | * ChainedByFashion: Like all the other oni we've seen thus far she has chains on her body, in this case on her left sandal. |
| 54 | * HornedHumanoid: Comes with being an oni; in her case, she has two cow horns. |
| 55 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://youtu.be/ol4c8bKDSCw "The Stone Baby and the Submerged Bovine"]]. |
| 56 | * LittleBitBeastly: She has a cow's ears, horns and tail. |
| 57 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Her surname, Ushizaki, refers to a Sengoku Period death penalty where the offender's limbs would be tied to two or more bulls, who would then run in opposite directions until they were completely dismembered. |
| 58 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: She has noticeably more defined breasts than any other character in ZUN's art-style. |
| 59 | * {{Oni}}: To be more exact she's an ''ushi-oni'' (or ''gyuki'' in ''[[AlternateCharacterReading on'yomi]]'' [[AlternateCharacterReading reading]]), a seaborne youkai with the head of an ox and oni-like features, though in ''Touhou'' ushi-oni are considered a type of oni in their own right. |
| 60 | * PetTheDog: Sometimes she leads people who manage to cross the river by mistake back to the living world. |
| 61 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Zigzagged; it did apply back when she was killing people, but not so much now. |
| 62 | * RetiredMonster: Stopped killing people because it'd been forbidden, and now runs a fishing business. |

| 65 | [[folder:Kutaka Niwatari]] |
| 66 | [[quoteright:232:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_touhou_niwatari.png]] |
| 67 | |
| 68 | ::''The Clerk God of Hell's Checkpoint'' |
| 69 | ::'''Kutaka Niwatari''' |
| 70 | |
| 71 | -->''"If your sights are set on Hell, then give me everything you've got!"'' |
| 72 | |
| 73 | A watchman for Higan whose job it is to sort humans and oni into their appropriate living places, who decides to test the humans trying to make their way to Hell upon learning from the Yama about their quest. Her ability is curing throat diseases. |
| 74 | ---- |
| 75 | * AnimalMotifs: The red hair on top of her head and her red necktie represent a chicken's comb and wattle respectively. |
| 76 | * ArtImitatesArt: Her pose is taken from the statue of [[https://explorenara.com/?introduce=shin-yakushi-ji-temple Mekhila (Meikira in Japanese)]], one of the Twelve Heavenly Generals represented by the Rooster in the Chinese zodiac, in Shin Yakushi-ji Temple in Nara. |
| 77 | * CelestialBureaucracy: A low-level clerk who works under the Yama overseeing passage to and from Otherworlds. |
| 78 | * TheDitz: Is literally a birdbrain. In one scenario, she passes on Eiki's warning not to trust the animal spirits too much, but when asked for details, she says she's forgotten them. |
| 79 | * HeadPet: Has a small chick riding around in her hair. |
| 80 | * HeroAntagonist: She ends up getting involved in ''Sunken Fossil World'''s plot due to Minamitsu opening a hole in the Sanzu River's riverbed on Byakuren's orders in order to cool down Kanako's fusion reactor, allowing her to travel down the the Hell of Blazing Fires in her effort to prevent more oil from leaking to the surface. This leads to Kutaka's conflict with Kanako because she thinks Kanako's trying to break deeper into hell, though she ends up granting Kanako permission to further investigate the incident after being defeated. |
| 81 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaNGMQyuL6w "Seraphic Chicken"]]. |
| 82 | * LittleBitBeastly: She has chicken wings and a long Onagadori rooster feather train. |
| 83 | * MusicalAssassin: In ''Sunken Fossil World'', many of her spell cards involve singing and using her whistle to create music note danmaku. |
| 84 | * NiceGirl: Noted to be "a polite and just god who values equality and altruism above all." Notably, ''all'' of her fights are done with noble intentions in mind. |
| 85 | * OurAngelsAreDifferent: Apart from her leitmotif being called "'''Seraph'''ic Chicken", her wing configuration is basically that of an angel's. |
| 86 | * OurGodsAreDifferent: Her true identity is that of Niwatari-jin, a god of wild chickens, making her technically more of a jungle fowl. |
| 87 | * PreFinalBoss: |
| 88 | ** She's the Extra stage miniboss of ''Wily Beast and Weakest Creature''. |
| 89 | ** In ''Sunken Fossil World'' she serves as the penultimate boss before Yuuma in Marisa and Kanako's scenarios. |
| 90 | * RecurringBoss: Appears again as [[PreFinalBoss the Extra stage miniboss.]] |
| 91 | * SheKnowsTooMuch: The Yorigami sisters pick a fight with her in their scenario of ''Sunken Fossil World'' because she's aware that the oil's stopped flowing, and afterwards Kutaka agrees not to tell anyone, if only because she considers it a trivial thing she wouldn't bother telling anyone anyway. |
| 92 | * SoulPower: Her "Whistle Sign 'O Phantoms, Return to Thy Proper Place'" and "Niwatari 'Algorithmic Phantom'" spell cards in ''Sunken Fossil World'' has her summoning what appear to be spirits to attack. |
| 93 | * TechnicolorEyes: Has red eyes, but isn't dangerous. |
| 94 | * WeaponsGradeVocabulary: Her "Long Cry 'Awaken, O Buried Phantoms'" spell card in ''Sunken Fossil World'' uses katakana as danmaku. |

| 97 | [[folder:Yachie Kicchou]] |
| 98 | [[quoteright:155:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_touhou_yachie.png]] |
| 99 | |
| 100 | ::''Matriarch of the Kiketsu Family'' |
| 101 | ::'''Yachie Kicchou''' |
| 102 | |
| 103 | -->''"Now, go! Destroy that demon-shaped enemy, cursed in extremity!"'' |
| 104 | |
| 105 | A jidiao, or tortoise dragon, and leader of the Kiketsu Family of the Animal Realm, who tests the heroines in hell. She has the ability to make people lose the will to fight back. |
| 106 | ---- |
| 107 | * AffablyEvil: She's not a very pleasant person, but she acts very polite. With her ability, she doesn't need to act aggressively, anyway. It dips into FauxAffablyEvil in the bad endings where she prepares to kill the protagonists for failing to stop Keiki before they convince her not to. |
| 108 | * TheBadGuyWins: By the end of the game, she's successfully manipulated the heroines into taking out Keiki, allowing her to get the Animal Realm back with zero repercussions. |
| 109 | * BigBadDuumvirate: Teams up with the other two animal spirit groups to defeat Keiki. |
| 110 | * BigBadEnsemble: One of the main antagonists of the game along with Keiki and Saki. She's the leader of the Kiketsugami or the Supreme Oni group which represents the Otter ghost. |
| 111 | * TheCharmer: She's described as having a level of charisma that's impossible to resist. |
| 112 | * CompellingVoice: Her power grants her the ability to command others. |
| 113 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: ''Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost'' gives her golden eyes to match her blonde hair. |
| 114 | * DraconicHumanoid: She has a dragon's horns and tail, [[LittleBitBeastly but looks human otherwise]]. |
| 115 | * FinalBoss: The last enemy faced by Aunn and Nazrin in ''Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost''. |
| 116 | * HeightAngst: Apparently, she gets easily jealous of people taller than her. |
| 117 | * HumiliationConga: In ''Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost'' she fails to distract Aunn, Saki manages to derail her plans by beating Biten, she's double-crossed by Tsukasa, and of course she's being played by Zanmu the whole time. |
| 118 | * {{Irony}}: For someone with the power to make others lose the will to fight, she herself falls victim to a similar situation as the events in ''Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost'' have her becoming a shell of herself unwilling to continue fighting. |
| 119 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgunO56ONMA "Tortoise Dragon ~ Fortune and Misfortune"]] |
| 120 | * ManipulativeBitch: She manipulates the PlayerCharacters into defeating Keiki during her EvilPlan. |
| 121 | * OrderVersusChaos: Yachie, along with the other beast spirits, represent the Chaos side due to their adherence to the Animal Realm's dog-eat-dog society, [[TheSocialDarwinist where the powerful subjugate the weak mercilessly]]. |
| 122 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: She's a jidiao, a legendary half-tortoise, half-dragon creature from Chinese mythology. |
| 123 | * TheQueenpin: The leader of the Kiketsu Family, she's notably more mafia-like than Saki. She's a mysterious, charismatic schemer, and as seen in the bad endings, won't even hesitate to dispose of you if she sees no value in you. |
| 124 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: She's a {{manipulative|bitch}}, scheming crime boss who happens to have red eyes in her debut. |
| 125 | * ReptilesAreAbhorrent: She's a jidiao, or tortoise dragon, and she's a mysterious, scheming crime boss who won't hesitate to dispose of those who have failed her. |
| 126 | * SmugSnake: At least post-VillainDecay. She's condescending, arrogant, devious, and manipulative... but makes many blatant mistakes. |
| 127 | * SpeciesSurname: "Kicchou" is both her surname and the name of her species. |
| 128 | * VileVillainLaughableLackey: She's one of the most evil characters in the entire series, but her subordinate, the Otter Spirit, is an adorable-looking otter and the most cowardly of the beast spirits. |
| 129 | * VillainDecay: Yachie is much less competent and calculating in ''Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost'' compared to ''Wily Beast and Weakest Creature'', making a number of obvious mistakes and generally being reliant on Son Biten for most of her plans. It's actually lampshaded by a number of characters that she's not acting as smart as she usually is. Additionally, she actually loses multiple times throughout the game. |
| 130 | * YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Befitting of her cruel and devious nature, she has yellow eyes in ''Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost''. |
| 131 | * YouHaveFailedMe: In the bad endings she prepares to kill the protagonists for failing to stop Keiki until they convince her to give them a second chance. |
| 132 | * XanatosGambit: Sends animal spirits to the Human World in order to get someone to take on Keiki and her army of idols for them by pretending to invade, but if they end up actually taking over that's perfectly fine with her. |

| 138 | ::''Haniwa Lance Corporal'' |
| 139 | ::'''Mayumi Joutouguu''' |
| 140 | |
| 141 | -->''"You'd better get back to the Primate Spirit Garden post-haste, or else you'll be captured by starving beasts."'' |
| 142 | |
| 143 | A ''haniwa'' that serves as the leader of the Clay Army of the Primate Garden. Her ability is turning loyalty into strength. |
| 144 | ---- |
| 145 | * AbilityMixing: In her first spellcard, she summons ''haniwa'' archers. In the second, she summons swordsmen, and in the third, horsemen. For the fourth, she summons all of them at once. |
| 146 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Being a ''haniwa'' youkai with said clay figure being a part of her spell cards, she is the Touhou equivalent of [[VideoGame/LenEn Sukune Katano]]. |
| 147 | * AnimalMotifs: Her hair ribbons resemble rabbit ears. |
| 148 | * ArtImitatesArt: Her artwork is directly lifted from the [[http://www.emuseum.jp/detail/100200/000/000?mode=detail&d_lang=en&s_lang=en&class=&title=&c_e=®ion=&era=¢ury=&cptype=&owner=&pos=97&num=1 Haniwa Warrior figure]], right down to the pose. |
| 149 | * BishonenLine: Unlike the other ''haniwa'' she's fully humanoid. |
| 150 | * TheDragon: To Keiki. She commands the Clay Soldiers Keiki creates to protect the human spirits from the animal spirits. |
| 151 | * FlunkyBoss: She fights alongside her hordes of ''haniwa'' soldiers and uses them in her spell cards. |
| 152 | * HeroAntagonist: She and Keiki just want to protect the human spirits from the Animal Spirits. |
| 153 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7PeyXIW5zw "Joutounin of Ceramics"]] |
| 154 | * LivingStatue: She is a living ''haniwa'', a clay figure from Japan's Kofun period used in rituals and funerary rites. |
| 155 | * MeaningfulName: Mayumi is a given name that means "polished bow", suitable for an archer, while "Joutou" refers to a type of sword commonly depicted on ''haniwa'' soldier statues. |
| 156 | * TheMusketeer: Is skilled in [[MasterSwordswoman swordswomanship]], archery, and horsewomanship, and uses these skills in her spell cards. |
| 157 | * NoSell: Being an artificial construct with no actual soul, she is immune to attacks from the deceased souls residing in the Animal Hell, as souls can only attack the spirit because they don't have physical bodies. This is why the Animal Spirits brought the player character, as they are living humans with a physical body, capable of damaging the Haniwa. |
| 158 | * RecurringBoss: Is fought as the Stage 5 Boss and [[PreFinalBoss Stage 6 miniboss.]] |
| 159 | * UndyingLoyalty: Is completely loyal to Keiki, and her ability even makes her stronger through loyalty. |

| 163 | [[quoteright:273:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_touhou_keiki.png]] |
| 164 | |
| 165 | ::''The Sculptor God Crafted by Utter Isolation'' |
| 166 | ::'''Keiki Haniyasushin''' |
| 167 | |
| 168 | -->''"I'll destroy your body of flesh, and build you anew from soil and water! You shall be an idol without a single flaw, told of for ages and ages to come!"'' |
| 169 | |
| 170 | Mayumi's master, a god summoned by the human spirits of the Animal Realm to protect them from the beast spirits. Her ability is creating idols. |
| 171 | ---- |
| 172 | * AffablyEvil: While she is undeniably an antagonist in her dreams of enforcing a dystopian regime where all identity and freedom is erased, Keiki is entirely lacking in malice, and believes completely that she is doing the right thing. |
| 173 | * ArtAttacker: Her danmaku is shaped after geometric shapes. From her spellcard names, it's implied that she's giving them life (''Square-shaped Sculpting Art'', ''Square Creature''). There's also the fact that she's the sculptor who created Mayumi and her ''haniwa'' army. |
| 174 | * BigBadEnsemble: One of the main antagonists of the game alongside Yachie and Saki. Keiki has been summoned by humans to rule over them and give them respite from the Animal Realm's senseless brutality, and as such will fight to protect them, even if it disrupts the balance between the realms. In other words, two extreme models of society come clashing in ''[=WBaWC=]''; one where the weak are unwillingly preyed on by the strong as the strong contest each other (Yachie and Saki's faction), another where the weak willingly feed the strong as the strong protects them from others (Keiki's faction). |
| 175 | * ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: Was summoned by the faith of the human spirits, and her idols get more powerful with faith. |
| 176 | * FinalBoss: She's the Stage 6 boss. |
| 177 | * FlunkyBoss: Creates ''haniwa'' and uses them in some of her spell cards. |
| 178 | * GratuitousLatin: The name of the last stage is "Idola Deus" (God of Idols), she calls herself that, and her last spellcard is named "Idola Diabolus". |
| 179 | * HeroAntagonist: She only wants to protect the human spirits from the animal spirits who treat them as slaves. |
| 180 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0VYKbTSxu0 "Entrusting this World to Idols ~ Idolatrize World"]] |
| 181 | * MeetTheNewBoss: [[AllThereInTheManual Yachie's omake notes]] that due to the human spirits coming to devote themselves to the idols over Keiki, their situation is hardly any different from when they summoned her in the first place. |
| 182 | * OrderVersusChaos: Keiki falls on the side of Order. She and her idols provide protection to the human spirits, but require constant faith from them, and her army has begun a conquest to bring the entirety of the Animal Realm under her control. |
| 183 | * OurGodsAreDifferent: Is based on Haniyasu no kami, an obscure god from the ''Kojiki'' born from Izanami's excrement whose name can be translated as "god who kneads clay". |
| 184 | * {{Protectorate}}: The human spirits of the Animal Realm are under her protection. |
| 185 | * StrongerSibling: ExaggeratedTrope with Eika at the top of this very page: Ebisu was literally the first of many, ''many'' gods that Izanami gave birth to; a weak god born with a boneless body, a 1st stage boss who couldn't even survive her own birth. Haniyasu no kami, by contrast, was born from the excrement expelled by Izanami in her death throes, literally one of the last gods she ever gave birth to, and this lady is strong enough to be a final boss subjugating a region of Hell itself. |
| 186 | * UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: During an interview with ZUN on ''Wily Beast and Weakest Creature'', Keiki has been compared multiple times to [[TheComputerIsYourFriend an AI who's been entrusted with the humans' will for a better society]], meaning that they willingly let themselves be ruled by someone who's better at making decisions, even if that someone takes drastic measures in the name of their subjects' well-being. The Animal faction, for their part, accuse Keiki of being a tyrant, and they're not wrong, either, seeing how Keiki sees humans as "materials" just like everyone does in ''[=WBaWC=]''[='=]s conflict. |
| 187 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Her goal to provide the human spirits with protection from their tormentors is noble. Setting out to conquer the entirety of the Animal Realm is a bit excessive. There's also the fact that the expansion of her territory is gradually transforming the Animal Realm from one filled with nature into an industrial jungle. |

| 194 | ::'''Saki Kurokoma''' |
| 195 | |
| 196 | -->''"Now, show this pitch black pegasus the power of the human who defeated the wicked god!"'' |
| 197 | |
| 198 | The head of the Keiga Family of animal spirits, who decides to inspect the Human World after hearing about Keiki's defeat by the heroine. Her ability is unmatched leg strength. |
| 199 | ---- |
| 200 | * AffablyEvil: Seems to be a good-natured BoisterousBruiser, even though, like Yachie and Toutetsu, Saki is a ruthless Yakuza boss with aspirations of conquering all the realms. |
| 201 | * BigBadEnsemble: One of the main antagonists in the game alongside Yachie and Keiki. |
| 202 | * BigBadDuumvirate: Teams up with Yachie and Yuuma to take down Keiki. |
| 203 | * BloodKnight: She loves a good fight, and compliments the player character for it. If you're partnered with the Wolf Spirit (her underling), she even tells the spirit to give it their all or else it won't be fun. After you defeat her, she expresses a desire to go to Gensokyo and fight the heroine once more. |
| 204 | * CoolHorse: She is a ''kurokoma'', a legendary horse said to be capable of leaping high through the sky. It seems to be conflated with the pegasus in her case. Her theme's name implies that she's the horse Miko rode in the Human World, and both Reimu and Mamizou identify them as one and the same in the VS mode of ''Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost'', the latter telling Saki that she can take her to meet with Miko if she'd like. |
| 205 | * {{Cowboy}}: She is designed with a general cowboy aesthetic. ZUN himself muses in the music notes that the rider should be the cowboy, not the horse. |
| 206 | * DimensionLord: After you take care of Keiki, she gets the idea to not only take over the Animal Realm, but Hell proper and Gensokyo as well. In the extra stage, you fight her in Hell to stop her invasion. |
| 207 | * DumbMuscle: The Wolf Spirit describes her as very strong, but not very intelligent, which is a trait of most members of the Keiga Family. |
| 208 | * FinalBoss: Of Seiran's route in ''Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost''. |
| 209 | * HeightAngst: ZUN states in her article in ''Strange Creators of Outer World'' that she's actually quite short (denoting that the "koma" part of "kurokoma" refers to horses of small size). She's conscious about her height, so she takes measures in order to make herself look taller, such as spreading her wings out. |
| 210 | * HotBlooded: The moment she thinks of doing something, she acts on it, and she's noted to not think things through. |
| 211 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRdXeRkijZI "Prince Shoutoku's Pegasus ~ Dark Pegasus"]] |
| 212 | * NinjaPirateZombieRobot: She is a Yakuza-Cowboy-Pegasus-girl, or a Yakuza-Cowboy-Flying-Horse-girl if you wish to split the Pegasus up further. |
| 213 | * {{Pegasus}}: Well, she's actually a ''kurokoma'', but ZUN seemed to conflate the two. Her theme's name is "Dark Pegasus" and in her pre-battle dialogue she calls herself a "jet-black pegasus". |
| 214 | * PetTheDog: When her new subordinate Enoko is defeated by Yachie, she's absolutely heartbroken and demands to know why she went so hard on the yamainu. And this is right after proclaiming that the evil and heartless are the ones who win in the world. |
| 215 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: According to ZUN she's actually pretty short, but that has no bearing on her power. |
| 216 | * TheQueenpin: She's the leader of the Keiga Family. Unlike the crafty Yachie, though, Saki is a HotBlooded physical powerhouse, and her group similarly values physical strength. |
| 217 | * SpeciesSurname: Her species is listed as ''kurokoma''. |

| 230 | When the animal spirits from Hell invaded Gensokyo, three friendly spirits, the Wolf, the Otter, and the Eagle, betrayed their animal companions and helped the player character to stop the invasion. However, the story is a lie and their true intention is to bring a living human to defeat Keiki in the Animal Realm. Each of them belongs to a different faction. The Wolf is from the Keiga family, the Otter is from the Kiketsu family, and the Eagle is from the Gouyaku Alliance. |
| 231 | ---- |
| 232 | * AttackAttackRetreatRetreat: Upon ambushing Keiki in the final stage, the beast spirit is invariably overconfident, bragging to Keiki about how the human they’ve recruited will be her undoing. But the second it becomes clear that the conversation has lasted long enough for Keiki to actually start ''using'' her sculpting powers, the beast spirit ''immediately'' orders the player to retreat; even the prideful eagle and bloodthirsty wolf. Most of the subsequent battle is spent running away from Keiki. |
| 233 | * ArtEvolution: In ''Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost'' the animal spirits appear as full-bodied animals as opposed to the simple heads seen in ''Wily Beast and Weakest Creature''. |
| 234 | * BattleAura: When the spirit is talking through the heroine's body, the heroine's portrait is surrounded by a red aura. |
| 235 | * BigDamnHeroes: When you face Keiki's last two spellcards, they've managed to call their friends to help you out. In gameplay, this translates to a bunch of animal spirit items spawning endlessly. |
| 236 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Each of them is given a specific color in gameplay. Wolf is red, Otter is green, and Eagle is blue. |
| 237 | * DefectorFromDecadence: In Chapter 48 of ''Lotus Eaters'' Reimu and Marisa meet an otter spirit who was originally sent to Gensokyo by Yachie in order to recruit more allies for the Kitetsu Family during ''Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost'', only for them to decide that they liked Gensokyo better than the Animal Realm and choose to stay after everyone else left. As a result they've been living under the kappa's protection in return for the latest console games from the Animal Realm (Handhelds highly reminiscent of a Platform/GameBoy). |
| 238 | * DemonicPossession: They're possessing the heroines, altering their personalities a little. Wolf makes the heroine more savage, Otter makes them timid, and Eagle makes them haughty. |
| 239 | * EnslavedTongue: They speak through the heroine's mouth. |
| 240 | * FlyingFace: The animal spirits take the form of flying animal heads, with Yachie's omake cameo in ''Lotus Eaters'' having her otter spirits also surround themselves with spiritual energy. |
| 241 | * NoNameGiven: They are only referred to as Wolf Spirit, Otter Spirit, or Eagle Spirit. Their actual names, or even if they have any, are unknown. |
| 242 | * OurSpiritsAreDifferent: Animal spirits from the Animal Realm have no physical body. Because of it, they can't do anything against Keiki's idol army, who do have them. Therefore they need a being with a physical body, in this case our heroines, to stand a chance against Keiki. |
| 243 | * PowersViaPossession: You get a different bonus depending on which spirit is possessing you. Wolf makes your focused attacks stronger, while Eagle strengthens unfocused attacks. Otter buffs your [[SmartBomb spellcards]] instead. |
| 244 | * SuperMode: Collecting five spirit items lets you enter Roaring Mode, which gives you more points and survive a hit once. If you collect three of the same spirit items, your shots are also replaced with super powerful attacks. Wolf gives you a stronger version of your focused shot, while Eagle gives you a stronger version of your unfocused shot. Otter doesn't strengthen your attack, but gives a barrier that removes enemy bullets. |
| 245 | * SymbioticPossession: According to themselves, at least. They insist that they and the heroines have the same goal and they should fight together. The spirits do treat the heroines respectfully and act friendly towards them. |
| 246 | * TalkingAnimal: The otter spirit that Reimu and Marisa encounter in Chapter 48 of ''Lotus Eaters'' is capable of speech in full beast form, though it initially pretends that it's just a regular otter when they catch it in the act of speaking. |
