Fidgephant is a blue-green Yo-kai that resembles an elephant. He has big round yellow eyes with crossed button-shaped pupils. He wears an orange robe and is an average sized Yo-kai who is about half the height of Nate.
Fidgephant is usually seen squeezing his trunk closed trying to hold in his liquid, squirming restlessly as he does.
Fidgephant has the ability to make anyone need to urgently use the bathroom by spraying them with his trunk.
In the anime, some Fidgephants were trained by Mr. Batham. One Fidgephant even evolved into Enduriphant.
Fidgephant appears in rivers in Harrisville both in the present and past. Alternatively, he appears near the river in Glow Worm Grove and on Mt. Middleton on Fulface Rock in the present and past.
He can be randomly encountered on the train on a team with Terrorpotta at level 6.
Fidgephant can be found in stage 47, 59, 73, 107 and 149, secret stage 1-2 in sewer A and 4-4 in sewer D, stage 6 in Mystery Way, stage 13 in Super Mystery Way and stage 30 in Ultra Mystery Way. He can also be freed from the Crank-a-kai with a Cheerful Coin, a Mystery Coin and an Orange Coin.

In the anime[]
Fidgephant first appears in EP008, in which he causes all the boys at Springdale Elementary School to have an urgent need to go to the bathroom, Nate included. He tries to fight it by summoning Roughraff, but the latter quickly falls under Fidgephant's influence as well. Nate then tries again with Manjimutt, but he also gets inspirited and attempts to relieve himself under a pole which gets him arrested by the police once again. After even Illoo ultimately fails to fix the situation, Nate summons Wazzat, who inspirits Fidgephant and causes him to expel the liquid from his trunk, and along with it his Yo-kai Medal, which Nate reluctantly picks up. With that, the incident is solved. Later in the episode, Fidgephant is first summoned to drive a Hidabat-inspirited Jibanyan out of wanting to hide.
In EP027, Fidgephant was seen in Yo-kai-lifornia where he was among the Yo-kai waiting in line for the release of the Yo-kai Watch Model Zero.
In EP040, Fidgephant was ranked #5 on the Top 10 Yo-kai . He accidentally inspirited Manjimutt causing him to get in trouble with the police once more.
In EP061, several Fidgephants are seen in a flashback training with Mr. Batham. Among them is one Fidgephant who would eventually become the Enduriphant Nate befriends.
In EP084, a big group of Fidgephants inspirit a large number of people. Nate summons Enduriphant to counter their influence, but several of them gang up on the mammoth Yo-kai. Despite his valiant efforts to endure, he turns back into Fidgephant.
Etymology[]
The name "Fidgephant" is a portmanteau derived from two English words: "fidget" and "elephant."
"Fidget" refers to the act of making restless movements or exhibiting an anxious demeanor, which mirrors the character's constantly agitated and erratic behavior.
"Elephant" denotes the animal that the Yo-Kai resembles in its physical appearance.
Trivia[]
When snapped in the Yo-kai Cam, his tip is, "Mind you don't wet your pants!"
Fidgephant's "random" nicknames are: "Fidget," "Elmer," "Trunkie," and "Leaky."
Elmer may be a reference to the British book series featuring a patchwork elephant of the same name.
