Meganyan appears as the Boss of chapter 4.

Biology

A sleepy, seemingly overweight dull blue cat Yo-kai with drooping eyes and dull pink inner-ears and nose. Its muzzle and paw tips are white, and all over its body are various-sized mushrooms. In the games, he possessed a small nozzle on his side, in the manner of an inflatable toy. In the corresponding movie, he instead has a cork in his butt.  

Meganyan can shoot electricity from his nostrils and cause anything to grow by inspiriting it. In what's seemingly a dream sequence in the games, and in real-life in the movie, he's able to grow things by breathing a pink mist on them.

In the movie, he is capable of creating a life-size version of himself with almost all of his abilities.

Opening the nozzle on him in the games or removing the cork from his butt in the movie causes him to release all his stored up energy and revert to his true form, Hovernyan.

Meganyan as he appears in Yo-kai Watch: The Movie.

Main article: Hovernyan (anime)

Meganyan appears in Yo-kai Watch: The Movie, where he comes to Springdale in an attempt to bring Nate's memories back after the Yo-kai Watch disappeared from his wrist last night. After successfully bringing back his memories, he tells Nate that he can save the world after hearing of his name before he gets attacked by Loiter, Flicker and Schemer and temporarily fades away. Nate, Jibanyan and Whisper finds him again in Harrisville, trapped in a house and attempt to pull them out but breaks free of it, destroying the house. Meganyan asks them to pull out the plug from his back, which makes them feel weird at first but Nate eventually pulls it out, transforming him back into Hovernyan.

In EP112, Mr. Crabbycat has Meganyan, Gutsy Bones and Dromp as transfer students that can easily dwarf the entire school, Disrupting Class Academy.

Etymology

Meganyan is a portmanteau of "mega" (hence his name) and "nyan", the Japanese sound for meow.

Meganyan's name in Korea, Geodaenyang, consists of Geodae - meaning "giant" and nyang- the Korean translation of the Japanese sound for meow.

Origin

  • Meganyan may have been partly inspired by the Okubi, a large floating head youkai that is known to inhabit barns and cause body parts to inflate by blowing on them. Meganyan can also make things larger by blowing on them, is found in an abandoned shed in Yo-kai Watch 2, and has demonstrated the ability to float.
