Biology[]
Hoaxy-Coaxy is a large Yo-kai that consists of only a floating head and two hands.
On top of his head is a large, purple, cloud-like mass that might be his brain or his hair, surrounded by two swirling, red clouds.
He appears to be wearing glasses, and has three eyes, with a yellow wisp sitting on top of his third eye. His eyes usually have red irises with green and yellow scleras, but they change color when he uses his powers, his irises turning blue, and his scleras gaining a yellow and pink spiral pattern.
He has pointy ears and a large mouth full of huge, sharp teeth. His hands are bigger than his actual head, with purple-tinted fingertips and sharp, red nails.
Hoaxy-Coaxy has the ability to create delusions, making other people's desires reality, as well as his own. He uses this ability in battle to create various things to attack his opponent, boost his own power, or heal himself.
He will also use this power to lure in people he likes, before devouring them, forever trapping them inside a delusion.
Hoaxy-Coaxy was created by the Ghoulfather with the UFO Stone. Slackerjack presumes he was likely created from the Ghoulfather's "childish heart".
Profile[]
Yo-kai Watch 3[]
Hoaxy-Coaxy appears as the boss of Chapter 3, in which he creates a delusion world based on Hailey's desires. In said world, she is able to be a maid, a member of Next HarMEOWny, and a Sailor Cutie, like she always wanted, but the dreamt up Sailor Cuties end up warning her about Hoaxy-Coaxy's motive of wanting to eat her, causing her to fight and defeat him.
In Chapter 9 he is revealed to be a member of the Ghoulfamily, aiding them in their assault on New Yo-kai City. When defeated by Nate and the others, he attempts to run away but is chased down by them and defeated a third time.
After a certain post-game request, he can be found back in the delusion world he created from Hailey's desires, explaining he likes it so much, he wants to stay there for a while, partially because he wants a break from Rongo Swirll's demands.

- Second Helpings - Punches a Yo-kai twice.
- Harmful Hoax - Inspirits a Yo-kai and gives them a persecution complex, causing the confusion status.
- Hoaxy-Coaxy... - Conjures up 1 of 4 possible daydreams:

Etymology[]
"Mōsō Monmon" is at least partially derived from "mōsō" (Japanese: 妄想 delusion), and possibly "monmon" (Japanese: 悶々 "to agonize over" or "to fantasize about").
"Hoaxy-Coaxy" is derived from the English words "hoax" and "to coax". It is also based on a dance known as the Hokey Pokey.
"Ilusionisto" is a corruption of "ilusionista" (illusionist).
Trivia[]
- In the Japanese version, it is explicitly stated by the Sailor Cuties that Hoaxy-Coaxy devours those that get too caught up in his delusions, but said detail was not mentioned in English.
- Despite that, the animation for his Soultimate Move still has a detail like that.
- The Ghoulfather is shown to be a fan of Next HarMEOWny. This is might explain why one of Hoaxy-Coaxy's attacks involves them cheering him on to boost all his stats.
