This is justified because of his old age and his lack of strength. This is mostly because he has faith that they can continue and even surpass the legend he set in his prime. However, it has also been shown that despite his often ambiguous and easygoing relationships with others, he has high standards and expectations of his heirs. After all, he was someone that the seventy groups that comprise the Nura Clan considered worth following. Back in his prime, however, he was more charismatic. In his old age, Nurarihyon often comes across as petty due to the pranks he plays on other people. He, like other Edo yokai, concludes that it should be used elegantly to invoke admiration from humans, rather than to invoke terror, hesitation and hostility, such as what the Kyoto yokai believe and practice.

This extends to his philosophy and practice of his usage of Fear. This, however, does not mean that he believes they should not spend time with each other at all. They should not intermingle with each other's problems, thereby co-existing peacefully. To clarify, he believes that they should stay out of yokai affairs, and that yokai, in turn, should stay out of human affairs. They were not made to help them.ĭespite that belief, he does not hate humans and often pulls pranks on them. This is because yokai were made to scare humans. He is a yokai, so his belief is that anything can be done to achieve his goals, even if such an action could bring calamity to humans. Black ink-like markings could be seen around his eyes and in his hair.

Nurarihyon's outfit consisted of a red cloak over a black kimono and zōri, along with a three-eyed, three-tailed wolf hanging around his shoulders like a shawl. The top half of his hair was a goldish-white while the bottom half of his hair was black. His hair was very similar to that of Rihan and Rikuo's yōkai form in that it was long and protruded outward from the back of his head. In the past, Nurarihyon was significantly taller. Nurarihyon wears a brown robe over a dark green kimono with traditional Japanese sandals ( zōri). As Nurarihyon, his head protrudes backwards from his face in the shape of a gourd.
