Terrorpotta looks like a round, light brown pot. He has a large crack in the bottom left side of his body, revealing a pink heart. The rest of his body has small, hardly noticeable cracks.
His power is to make people's hearts beat faster than normal.
Terrorpotta showed up during a race in Nate's school's sports festival in EP037, Inspiriting him just before he participates in the 100 meter dash. Despite feeling sickened by the strain his fast-beating heart puts on his body, Nate manages to push through and take part in the race.
He later appeared in EP080, Inspiriting Jibanyan while he was home alone, making him scared of everything at the house. After Nate arrives home, he discovers Terrorpotta and Jibanyan uses Whisper as a bat to launch him out of the house.

Etymology[]
"Dokidoki" is a combination of dokidoki (Japanese: ドキドキ,onomatopoeia for heartbeat) and doki (Japanese: 土器,"earthenware").
"Terrorpotta" is a pun off the word terracotta with the words terror and pot.
"Tensiovaso" is a combination of "tesnione" (tension) and "vaso" (pot).
Origin[]
Terrorpotta might be based on the haniwa, terracotta clay statues from the Kofun period (3rd to 6th centuries AD). Possibly derived from the Chinese custom of sculpting clay simulacra to replace the tradition of burying the emperor's retainers along with him after the funeral, they decorated tombs and burial mounds and came in a variety of shapes, from animals to human figures, to warriors tasked with protecting the deceased. In modern years, due to the overall aura of mystery that surrounds Japan's prehistoria, haniwa are portrayed in fiction as living creatures or otherwise possessing supernatural powers. Most notably in the animated series Steel Jeeg, haniwa are clay monsters born from the depths of the earth who fight for the demonic queen Himika (who is herself based on Himiko, the legendary shaman queen who lived in Japan during the 3rd century).
Trivia[]

While the other Yo-kai in the Kaibuki Theater are just fine, the Terrorpotta is actually just in a t-pose state, stuck under the table.
