Biology
Massiface is a tall, pale, humanoid-shaped Yo-kai with a large X-shaped scar on his balding head. He has wispy, red hair, purple lines all over his body, and black eyes with red pupils.
Due to his sheer size, he has immense physical strength. He can inspirit Yo-kai by flicking their foreheads or staring at them.
Profile
Yo-kai Watch
Massiface is the Boss Yo-kai of Chapter 7. The player fights him in Downtown Springdale's Construction Site.
Massiface has been approaching onto Kyubi's territory and had set a fire in Shopper's Row, though no one was hurt. Seeing an opportunity when Nate/Katie was investigating the rumors around Shopper's Row, Kyubi lured the player to the Construction Site, where he also lured Massiface towards, which the player encounters when they have gotten to a hole inside the building.
Massiface disappears into the night once the player defeats him.
Massiface's attacks are as follows: a hand stamp that hits a single Yo-kai, a flick to the forehead that deals damage and causes confusion, a glare that reduces Defense, and an earthquake-like attack that hits the whole front row. The main strategy is to target his eyes one at a time and hit them until they close. Once both eyes are closed, Massiface won't be able to use his glare, and the accuracy of all his single-target attacks will be significantly reduced.
Yo-kai Watch 2
At the Springdale Sports Club, the player can start a Quest called "The Phantom Giant." At the end of the quest, the player will provoke a fight with Massiface. Upon talking to him after, the player will get a new wallpaper.
Etymology
Name Origin
"Oboro Nyuudou" translates as "Hazy Bald-headed Monster."
"Massiface" is a portmanteau of "massive" and "face."
Origin
Massiface is based on the miage nyuudou (Japanese: 見上入道 bald-headed monster that makes you look up). This youkai will first appear from afar to hikers. Then, it becomes larger and larger as they approach until it towers over them, terrorizing them and cursing them. The only way to counter the miage nyuudou is to spot it before making eye contact and shout, "Miage nyuudou, I saw you first!" In some stories, the miage nyuudou is an illusion created by a tanuki or some other shapeshifting animal.
