Neighfarious is a grey horse with red wings and hooves with a black muzzle and dark blue hair. This Yo-kai has teal eyes and teeth with red nostrils and a blue tail.
In the manga, Neighfarious doesn't have any special abilities, and attempts to make up for it by saying horse puns.

He can also be found in Blasters T in Sky Garden - Fitwit.

Etymology[]
"Neighfarious" is a portmanteau of the words "neigh" ("the sound a horse makes") and "nefarious".
"Uma" shares the same reading for the kanji 馬. The kanji simply means "horse" normally, but the kanji ma (魔) ("demon") replaces the second syllable of the word.
"Schandmähre" is a compound of "Schand" or "Schandtat" ("shame" or "disgraceful deed") and "Mähre" ("mare").
"Pifiasus" is a portmanteau of "pifia" ("blunder" or "mistake") and "Pegasus."
"Malvallo" is a portmanteau of "malvagio" ("wicked" or "malicious") and "cavallo" ("horse").
"Hennimi" is derived "hennir" ("to neigh" or "to whiny").
