"What should we grill, you ask? Come on... Enough with the jokes! As much meat as we want! What could possibly be better? That's what's known as a good old barbecue!"
Yo-kai Medallium biography
"This Yo-kai firmly believes that there's nothing better than a barbecue—one with plenty of meat!"
BBQvil is a stout-built neck-less humanoid Yo-kai with a black unitard with red flames from the waist down and a crossbones-like design on his back that leads to black tiny shoes. He has beady eyes with a yellowish sclera, a spherical nose, dull teal hair, a thin mustache, and short horns jutting from his skull, with some chest hair.
BBQvil also has two giant skewers with giant slabs of grilled meat skewered onto them.
Anyone inspirited by this Yo-kai will love meat to an almost zealous degree, and become bombastic about it and BBQ.
BBQvil can be encountered in stages 311, 315, 334, 341, 357, 373, 383, and 422. He can also be obtained from a USA or USA Tom coin, as well as the Oni Y Money gacha.
In EP132, Nate comes to a barbecue party held by Katie and her parents. Nate's father gets inspirited by BBQvil. Instead of fighting him, Whisper instead suggests to let the Inspiriting effects last so they can all enjoy some BBQan-styled shish-kebab BBQ.
He is summoned in EP145 to give Chummer some food.
