Lucky (Japanese: ラッキー Rakkii), also known as Dogman (Japanese: ドッグマン Dogguman) is a Shadowside Yo-kai of the Mononoke tribe.
Appearances[]
- Yo-kai Watch Shadowside: Recurring Yo-kai
Biology[]
In his Lightside form, he takes the appearance of an anthropomorphic dog with light brown fur.
In his Shadowside form, he becomes more wolf-like with a more human-like body exhibiting behaviour similar to a werewolf. He has a black body and has dark brown fur resembling a fur pelt.
Like some dog Yo-kai, he has the tendency to say wan as a verbal tick of his.
In the anime[]
He makes his debut in SS006.
Lucky seems to be fond of comedy in general due to his former owner being an aspiring comedian when he was alive.
Because he's a dog, his jokes are mistaken for angry barking in his Shadowside form due to humans not understanding his speech. He also punches things which may be due to him taking the phrase "Punchline" literally which is mistaken for attacks.
He also seems to be visible to human beings in general as seen by his "incidents."
In the episode SS008 He is summoned (as Dogman) to make way for Tate and his friends at the power plant.
Etymology[]
"Lucky" is a common dog name adding on to the fact that's what he was named by his former owner.
"Dogman" comes from a titular character in a movie (in the anime series) due to being similar in appearance.
Trivia[]
- Lucky/Dogman may be inspired by the folklore of legends The Werewolf.
