Awevil

is a Rank S Water-attribute Rare Yo-kai of the Shady tribe.

The Yo-kai Medallium bio reads; "An aristocrat of evil, pure depravity. A Yo-kai that will do anything just because it's bad. He's earned his name."

Appearance
Awevil appears as an elderly figure with gray skin, slit-pupil yellow eyes with black sclerae, long red beard and a gourd-shaped head with small horns. The kanji kyou (凶, "bad luck") is written on his forehead. He wears black and white priest robes, as well as straw sandals (zori). He carries a gnarled wooden staff and sits bow-legged on a floating purple zabuton.

Personality
As his name and Medallium Entry imply, he is incredibly evil.

Trivia

 * Awevil's Soultimate, Pitch-Black Curse, has no damage number displayed in the Medallium. However, it actually deals damage when used in battle.

Origin
Awevil, like Greesel, is based in the youkai Nurarihyon, said to be the leader of the Hyakki Yakou (Hundred Demon Night Parade). In the original tales, he is described as an old man with an elongated head, wearing fine clothes or the garbs of a head priest. He'll infiltrate mansions at dusk, while everyone is busy finishing up on chores for the day, and sit down in one of the rooms pretending to be the lord of the house: he will smoke the master's pipe, drink tea and sample the expensive food, bark orders at the servants and generally make himself at home. Sometimes he'll even dress up like a wealthy merchant and walk around town, or visit red light districts and mountain villas escorted by his youkai underlings. In Shigeru Mizuki's GeGeGe no Kitarou, Nurarihyon is one of the recurring antagonists of the series.

Curiously, in Yo-kai Watch Busters: Moon Rabbit Team a different Yo-kai named Nurarihyon makes an appearance.
