Daiyōkai

A Daiyokai or Great Demon is a very powerful type of yokai that is much stronger than a common yokai. Most daiyokai have lived for very long time and are able to stay calm in battle in very intense situations. Daiyokai are able to use human forms an a example of this would be the Inu no Taishou and Sesshomaru. Some daiyokai are very large in size like Ryukotsusei and the Dog General, but not all of them are Hosenki's true form although largeer than a average size, was much smaller than either of them.

Daiyokai who have offspring with humans hanyo will also inheiret their parent's power. The hanyo will not be able to handel the power properly and when their life is in danger they will begin to transform into berserk yokai that will kill anyone it sees. InuYasha is a example of daihanyo.
