Babblong

is a Rank C Water-attribute Yo-kai of the Slippery tribe.

The Yo-kai Medallium bio reads; "Don't agree to listen to Babblong or else he'll talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk. He's a terrible listener."

Appearance
Babblong appears as a yellow-skinned, grinning Yo-kai with a massive, beak-like nose, hanging down to his chest's height. He has greenish-blue feather-like hair, with a tail going down to the small of his back. He wears a light purple sash around his waist and a blue skirt, and a pair of sandals.

Personality
He speaks with a thick Kansai accent. As expected, his stories are what's most important to him. When possessed by Wazzat, he says "What's the point of social interaction if you can't make people listen to you, y'know, y'know?".

Abilities and Powers
He makes people tell stories until they get tired. These stories are usually boring and are often about an unknown uncle. It is likely that many of these stories are actually from Babblong, and that he really makes people tell the stories for him. When Babblong possess someone, they start speaking with an Osaka accent.

Yo-kai Watch
Babblong can be found under cars and inside empty apartments everywhere in Tranquility Apartments on Shopper's Row, as well as beyond the Rank C Watch Lock in the Abandoned Tunnel.

Babblong is also automatically befriended in the process of completing the request "Talk Like the Wind".
