Biology[]

Injurnalist is a yellow imp-like Yo-kai dressed in a classic American journalist uniform with a pageboy hat, with his name written on the red arm band on his right arm. He has red ringed eyes, a toothy grin with sharp teeth, and a pointy tail. He appears to be injured, considering he is wearing a leg cast on his right leg and carrying a crutch.

His paraphernalia includes a notepad, a pen, and a camera.

Injurnalist seems to do most anything to make those he inspirits gush about their exaggerated fantasies of there most likely normal life, whether that be through his inspirits directly or by enticing questions

When inspirited, Injurnalist will make you say painfully blunt, overly self centered, and dramatically eventful stories and or remarks in his interviews he so likes to conduct for his unmentioned articles.
