== Classification ==
One school of thought favored by the Phoenix Clan's Shiba family divided yōkai by their origins, sorting them between “Transformed Beings,” “Nature Beings,” and “Tricksters” hailing from the Realm of Animals. Another classification, endorsed by the Agasha family of the Dragon Clan, categorized yōkai by their specific habitat or the element most strongly associated with them.
