Etymology

Trivia

• Nummskull is the second Yo-kai to be directly descended from a Yo-kai released during Yo-kai Watch, with the first being Frazzel, son of Papa Bolt and Mama Aura.
  • Coincidentally, both Yo-kai hail from the Tough tribe and their parents hail from different tribes then their children's, with Dazzabel and Gutsy Bones being from the Charming tribe and Shady tribe respectively and both Papa Bolt & Mama Aura being from the Heartful tribe.
  • Coincidentally, both Nummskull and Frazzel share their respective mothers' ranks (Nummskull and Dazzabel are both Rank E, while Frazzel and Mama Aura are both Rank A).
