Yo-kai Girl (妖怪少女) is a series of Level 3 female Tuner monsters with 0 ATK and 1800 DEF, as well as different Attributes from each other. All of its members are Zombie monsters, except for the Psychic "Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit".
Design[]
Appearance[]
As suggested by the name, they are spirit-like little girls.
“Red Blossoms from Underroot” has a relation to the archetype, due to her strong resemblance to “Ghost Reaper & Winter Cherries”.
Etymology[]
In the Japanese version, each card has a name that's pronounced one way, but spelled phonetically in a different way. Spellings like these are known as ateji, and in the Japanese version they are frequently used for card designs based on humorous wordplay. Here the clash between pronunciation and spelling is used to convey "double meanings". The English names of the cards consist of both meanings. The puns used here are similar to those used for the names of the Plant Princesses.
Playing style[]
The members of this series are hand traps that have anti-meta Quick Effects designed to disrupt the opponent's plays. Being hand traps, their effects require that the player discards them as a cost. "Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit" is the only one that can be sent from the field too. Each of the monsters revealed so far interacts with a different place.
