History
Wiglin debuts in EP013 along with Steppa and Rhyth, in which they cause Nate to be able to dance when previously was not able to. While initially grateful, Nate quickly curses this new ability when it takes him to the extreme by causing him to dance even in inappropiate situations. Some time after this, the Yo-kai Dancers give Nate their Yo-kai Medals.

In EP024, Nate summons Wiglin, Steppa and Rhyth to make Tengloom smile. However, this plan backfires and all of them fall rolling down to a three, which ironically makes Tengloom smile.

Trivia
Name Origin
 * "Wiglin" is a corruption of the word wiggling, writhing or moving about in small rapid movements, of which plant life such as seaweed and algae is known to do in windy or breezy climates. It may also be a reference to his dancing, as he wiggles when he moves around.
