#Scent — The Act of Opening the Bestiary

The bestiary is knowledge. Knowledge creates distance. Once distance exists — fear turns into explanation, screams turn into names, and what was once unknown becomes one of these five things.

Let this ledger rest in a corner of the archive at the back of the domain shrine. The aging observations of a veteran that onmyoji Hoshino Gensho never taught to anyone. Hoshino's handwriting has faded with the years, and every yoma name of Elite-grade or higher bears at least one ink stain. Evidence that his hand trembled each time he wrote that name.

The bestiary is never complete. Every page has a margin. One page is a column for PCs to record newly encountered yoma; another is a page for rewriting yoma they thought they knew but no longer do.

#Law — The Structure of This Bestiary

#How to Read an Entry

Each yoma has a one-row summary. Each row contains the following.

#Where Are the Details?

What this document contains is an index. Operational stats (Wounds · Defense · actions · gimmicks) and mid-combat check formulas are in each chapter's bestiary. The summary column in this index is a shorthand for quick identification, so the chapter bestiary takes precedence for actual play.

• Sufficient information in this document: Enough to answer "who is this yoma?" before an encounter begins.
• Insufficient information in this document: Round-by-round actions in combat — jump to the chapter bestiary.

#Full Table (25 Species)

Negotiation Key: O = dialogue first recommended · △ = conditionally possible · X = pure combat

#d100 Encounter Index Integration

Recommended ranges when adding this supplement's dedicated d100 encounters to the core 11-05 Encounter Table. Also integrates with the Patrol Encounters d100 in each chapter.

Note: Elite and Lord grades appear only in main arc events. Do not mix into random encounters.

#Grade Distribution

#Full Count

Total: 25 species (Mob 2 + Minion 5 + Veteran 5 + Elite 9 + Lord 4). The Ch. 2 mob pool of 4 species (iron-dust insect · chain bat · binding spider · chain shadow) are excluded as bonus entries from the main 25-species count. The Ch. 4 Great Dharma King of Shonetsu is the main boss of that chapter but is listed separately at Ch.13 §6 outside this 25-species index.

#Grade Distribution Principles

• Mob = numerical pressure. Single-unit Wounds below 1. Threatening only in swarms. Only 3 species exist — do not over-deploy.
• Minion = a basic PC 1 at 2:1 can handle. Individual combat viable. Squad support recommended.
• Veteran = primary foes for PC 2–4. Most "mid-boss" tier fights in this campaign are Veteran-grade.
• Elite = PC 5+ or requires narrative circumvention. Like the Imperishable General, dialogue avoidance is often the standard approach.
• Lord = boss tier. Chapter climax only. PC 6–9 + allies + relics required.

#Grade Distribution by Chapter

Bonus: Ch. 2 has a separate mob pool of 4 species (iron-dust insect · chain bat · binding spider · chain shadow) not included in the Mob count above. The Ch. 4 Great Dharma King of Shonetsu (Lord-grade 3-stage boss) uses a "6 species + boss" structure, so the Lord count above is shown in parentheses.

#Recommended Encounters by Campaign Progress

#Negotiable Yoma

One of the central themes of this campaign. Among the Spirit Realm's yoma, some can hear words. These are beings whose battles can be avoided through dialogue, interrogation, or negotiation, or who serve as pivots of ending branches.

#Negotiable Yoma (Representative by Chapter)

Each chapter's bestiary is the authoritative source. Target Number values must match those in the chapter bestiary.

#Common Principles of Negotiation

• Default yoma negotiation Target Number 17 (see Quick Reference Yoma Negotiation entry).
• "Negotiable yoma" have individual Target Numbers specified in the chapter bestiary. The table above is a summary.
• Heart alignment: if a PC's Three Ways and Six Hearts aligns with the yoma's disposition, an additional -2 applies.
• Imperishable General (Loyalty) ↔ Loyalty-aligned PC
• Bound Soul · Black Rope Matron (Void·Demon provocation) ↔ Void/Demon-aligned PC
• Screaming King (Compassion) ↔ Compassion-aligned PC
• Nameless (Void) ↔ Void-aligned PC
• Offering a gift, talisman, or memento: -1 to -3.
• Ch. 2 negotiations involve the thread of contract gimmick, so breaking the contract risks a Heart Shift (see core Three Ways and Six Hearts).

#GM Rules That Encourage Negotiation Play

1. First encounters do not open with combat. Negotiable yoma begin the first 2 rounds with "stillness." If PCs do not attack first, a dialogue window opens.
2. Failed checks are still narrative. Even if a failed negotiation turns the yoma hostile, "why this entity grew angry" is reflected in PCs' ending branches.
3. Repeat negotiation is allowed. Target Number can be updated by -1 per attempt within a chapter (information accumulation). However, each attempt consumes "time" resources (Barrier HP -1, Exposure +1, etc.).
4. Elimination is also valid. Negotiable does not mean must negotiate. PCs can choose to cut down the Imperishable General — the karmic retribution (業報) is reflected in Exposure and Heart shifts.

#Encounter Composition Examples

#Recommended Composition Patterns (Dan 1–9)

#Composition Prohibitions

1. No 2 Lord-grade units simultaneously (except for highly special endings).
2. Caution with negotiable + non-negotiable mix — if a different yoma attacks while PCs are attempting negotiation, a check contradiction arises.
3. No Avici encounters when fatigue is low — risk of Exposure runaway.
4. No Elite-grade or higher encounters when Barrier HP is below 40 — Barrier maintenance takes priority.

#Negotiation Scene Composition Tips

• Negotiation-target yoma + small number of weak Mob soldiers. For maintaining tension.
• On negotiation failure, Mob soldiers turn hostile and combat begins.
• On negotiation success, Mob soldiers automatically retreat (yoma leadership diminished).

#Relationship with Core-Book Yoma

#Coexistence with Core 08-02

These 25 supplement types do not replace the core Yoma Bestiary. They coexist.

• Core basic templates (lesser yoma, gaki, ko-oni, oni, great oni, etc.): The baseline for domain-area and open-world random encounters.
• These 25 supplement types: Exclusive to main arc scenes and hell-specific encounters.
• Mixed composition possible: e.g., basic gaki + 03 Reviving Gaki can coexist on the Flank Zone of Reviving Hell.

#Substitution Prohibitions

• The first session encounter for PC Dan 1 must use core basic lesser yoma. The 25 types are too powerful for Dan 1 early stages.
• Encounters inside the domain are basically none — as long as the Barrier holds.

#Appearance Frequency Forecast (Main Arc)

Below is the expected number of appearances for each yoma in the chapter-by-chapter main arc (4 sessions × 5 chapters = 20 sessions).

---

#Open World and Side Appearances

Appearances are also possible in open-world encounters and side quests outside the main arc. See 20-02 Patrol Encounters d100 and 21-00 Sidequest Index.

#Yoma Suited for Non-Main-Arc Use

• Reviving Hell: 02 Rusted Kubikiri, 03 Reviving Gaki, 04 Blood-Mist Imp — always present on the iron-colored plain.
• Black Rope: 06 Growing Chains — side encounters as chains protruding at the domain boundary.
• Screaming Hell: 11 Sinking Spirit — small numbers near small ponds close to the domain.
• Shonetsu: 16 Burning Soul — appears alone, poses a question, and leaves as a quest hook.
• Avici: 21 Hand Lantern — 1-unit trap. For drawing attention.

#Yoma Suited for Side Quests

• Negotiation-focused: 05 Imperishable General, 07 Bound Soul, 09 Black Rope Handler, 15 Screaming King (Form 1 only), 16 Burning Soul, 22 Avici Soldier.
• Exploration-focused: 18 Half-Ash One (moral), 21 Hand Lantern (mystery).

#Main Arc Exclusives

• 01 Reviving Tyrant · 10 Black Rope Matron · 15 Screaming King (Forms 2 and 3) · 20 Ash Conductor · 25 Nameless — unique to the main arc. Cannot appear in the open world.

#Trust Hierarchy for This Document

1. The chapter bestiary is the source of truth. If stat values differ between this document and the chapter bestiary, the chapter bestiary takes precedence.
2. Core 08-02 is the higher reference. When a core-book and this supplement yoma share the same grade notation but differ in values, refer to core-book defaults.
3. If you find an error in this document: Jump to the chapter bestiary → correct the chapter document if revision is needed → regenerate this document.

#Yoma Combat Timeline Patterns

#Small-Scale Encounter (3–5 rounds expected)

• Mainly Mob and Minion grades. 1.5× the number of PC 2–3 people.
• Example: 03 Reviving Gaki × 5 + core-book gaki × 2.

#Mid-Scale Combat (5–10 rounds)

• Veteran-grade as main force + Minion-grade escort. For PC 4–5 people.
• Example: 02 Rusted Kubikiri × 2 + 03 Reviving Gaki × 6.

#Boss Battle (10–15 rounds)

• 1 Elite-grade or Lord-grade unit. Retainer NPC 1–2 accompanying.
• Example: 10 Black Rope Matron (Elite) + 06 Growing Chains 6 strands.

#Final Boss Battle (15–25 rounds)

• Lord-grade boss (2+ phases). All PCs, relics, and squads fully deployed.
• Example: 25 Nameless + 2 of NPC Miyabi, Old Monk Genjo, Rinrin.

---

#Yoma AI Pacing (GM Reference)

Yoma action frequency per round. Too fast creates PC pressure; too slow becomes tedious.

GM feel tip: A Lord-grade boss battle should have 3 or more events per 1 round — PC attacks, NPC cooperation, environmental changes, and yoma reactions continuing without pause. The moment it becomes tedious, the boss battle has failed.

#GM Improvised Encounter Maker

#3-Step Improvised Encounter Generation

The core rules Dice System uses only 2d10/d100/d10. Replace non-standard polyhedrals with d10 range conversion.

Step 1 — Determine Hell (d10)

Step 2 — Select Yokai (d10 within that Hell)

From the 5–6 entries for that Hell, divide d10 by 2 for each slot (1–2 = entry 1 / 3–4 = entry 2 / …). Chapter 4 has 6 entries including the boss (Great Dharma King of Shonetsu), so assign 9–10 to the boss.

Step 3 — Determine Scale (d10)

PC Rank Adjustment: If the result does not match PC rank, adjust by one step. Example — if a Lord is rolled but PC are Rank 2, downgrade to Elite.

#Core-Compatible Yokai Crossover

Guide for mixed encounters using both core-book yokai and these supplemental yokai.

#When Core-Book Yokai Enter This Supplement's Environment

#When This Supplement's Yokai Enter the Core-Book Environment

Can these 25 supplemental yokai appear in the Japanese mainland outside the Spirit Realm? In principle, no. They are Spirit Realm-exclusive entities. Exceptions are "remnants" after the domain is restored, or special events in ending branches.

• Ending A (Restoration): These supplemental yokai remain in the Spirit Realm.
• Ending B (Settlement): The domain remains in the Spirit Realm, so encounters continue.
• Ending C (Transformation): The PC themselves become a Spirit Realm entity → some yokai may accompany them upon return to the mainland.

#Hell-by-Hell Encounter Archetypes (GM Improvisation)

1–2 sentence archetypes for when there is no time to open the chapter bestiary.

#Reviving Hell Archetype

"The moment you think it's dead, it rises again."

• Round 1: Attack (common to Rusted Kubikiri and Reviving Gaki).
• Round 2: The PC defeat one unit.
• Round 3: The defeated unit begins reassembling → prompts PC decision.
• Round 4: Depending on PC response, 2nd threat (revival complete) or additional Mobs appear.

GM Improvised Line: "The moment you thought death was near, that was the start of the rusty blood."

#Black Rope Archetype

"Don't move. Move, and the chains will follow."

• Round 1: Chains sense the movement of a nearby PC.
• Round 2: Chains extend, attempting to bind the fastest PC.
• Round 3: The bound PC is slowly dragged toward the center.
• Round 4: Black Rope Handler howls and intervenes (optional) or summons additional chains.

GM Improvised Line: "In this forest — the one who walks gets bound first."

#Screaming Hell Archetype

"The water is hot. And — how deep does it go?"

• Round 1: Screams flow across the surface. Sinking Spirits begin pulling the PC in.
• Round 2: Vibration of something rising from beneath the boat (sign of Umibozu's Hand).
• Round 3: Spirit Laceration applied + steam explosion warning.
• Round 4: Screaming King or Funayurei Swarm makes its full appearance.

GM Improvised Line: "That water — only one who has boiled in it truly knows."

#Shonetsu Archetype

"Why are you here? — Answer. If you do not answer, burn."

• Round 1: Burning Soul poses a question.
• Round 2: The PC hesitates to answer. Flames draw closer in the street.
• Round 3: An Ash Soldier faction designates the PC. Declaration is forced.
• Round 4: Branches based on the PC's answer and declaration.

GM Improvised Line: "Look at yourself in the mirror. Are you — burning?"

#Avici Archetype

"Say your name. And — can you say it?"

• Round 1: Faint light of the Hand Lantern. The PC is drawn toward it.
• Round 2: Time flows in reverse. PC actions -1 Round.
• Round 3: An Avici Soldier stands before the PC. A silence that seems to ask for a name.
• Round 4: Presence of the Nameless. Seal Stone Fragments scatter around.

GM Improvised Line: "Here — the one who has a name is strong. Do you — have a name?"

#Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. May the GM create yokai beyond the 25 listed here? A. Yes. Use the blank entry form at Add-Your-Own Yokai.

Q2. What if Target Number standards differ between core-book yokai and these supplemental yokai? A. The core-book base Target Number takes precedence. This supplement only adds special gimmick bonuses.

Q3. What happens if PC kill a negotiable yokai? A. Allowed. Exposure +1, and the related ending branch becomes unavailable or shifts to a negative branch.

Q4. What if PC encounter the same yokai multiple times in one chapter? A. Allowed. Whether it is the same individual or a different one is up to the GM's description. "The same face, but a different entity" is valid.

Q5. Must all 25 yokai appear? A. No. Approximately 20 appear in the main arc. The rest are optional in the open-world or side content.

Q6. What is the reward for PC who defeat a Lord-grade yokai? A. High-Purity Core + exclusive drop + Prestige points (see core-book 04-05 Prestige).

Q7. What is the difficulty of combat when a negotiable yokai turns hostile? A. The yokai's original grade + 1 step (e.g., Veteran → Elite). An enraged yokai is stronger.

Q8. Can PC obtain yokai as companions? A. In some cases, yes. For the 4 romance-type yokai partners, see 24-03 Yokai Partners. Generally negotiated yokai cannot become companions, but may be used as "external collaborators."
