Mizu-Yōkai

The Mizu-Yōkai (水妖怪 Mizu-Yōkai) inhabits the Odoroga swamp found in the GeGeGe Forest.
==Appearance==
The Mizu-Yōkai takes the form of a mass of green swamp water, that is constantly dripping itself. Eyebrows formed from the water rest above a pair of black eyes with small pupils pointing in different directions, and his fingers end with long white claws.
==Personality==
He is shown to be rather eccentric and seems to be hungry at the sight of potential food. Despite being among the peaceful yōkai living in GeGeGe Forest, he is still willing to consume humans. However, he is understandable, albeit disappointed, if he should not eat humans who are guests.

He soon joins the crowd of yōkai gathered around the GeGeGe House, trying to drive Agnès out of the forest.
