History
Failian appears in EP039, Inspiriting Katie, Bear and Eddie in turn, causing them to tell Nate distressing lies. This quickly extends to Nate's teacher Mr. Johnson and even the principal. After school, Nate identifies and confronts Failian, who promises to stop only if Nate successfully tricks him, before escaping and causing all sorts of mayhem around town with his Inspiriting like one that involved Mr. Batham succeeding a politician. Nate eventually realizes he needs the help of another Yo-kai and summons Illoo, trapping Failian in an illusion in which he causes global chaos, but is taken offworld by a visiting alien claiming to be his long-lost brother, scaring him. After Illoo raises the illusion, Failian admits defeat and gives Nate his Medal.
