Biology[]
Dracunyan before being bitten.
Dracunyan is a blue cat with green eyes and big black pupils. The chest, paw tips and muzzle are white, while his nose and inner-ear are dark peach. He has two, very long fangs sticking out from his mouth and two bright orange tail flames. He wears a long dark gray cape with a red coloring on the inside and a bright orange collar sphere attached to the center. The band around the stomach is pale orange and the sphere he wears like a collar is dark orange.
In the anime, he is depicted as a relentless vampire, going his way to bite other living beings because all he can feast on now is blood, and he grows jealous of those who can eat Chocobars. He also does his best to keep his scare factor at around a 3 on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the scariest. Just like Jibanyan, Dracunyan loves Chocobars and Next HarMEOWny.
Whomever Dracunyan bites are turned into a Dracunyan themselves. The transformation occurs in three stages: the victim's head transforms, then a cape appears on their shoulders, and finally, their body changes to that of Dracunyan. The transformed victims then proceed to seek out more victims to bite.
According to the Yo-kai Pad, Dracunyan came as the result of a cat who adored Chocobars and was bitten by a vampire, turning it into Dracunyan. It now seeks to drink the blood of humans to absorb the chocolate from inside it.

With Nate and his friends being the only survivors, Nate lets his friends in on the secret of Yo-kai. Together they try to make a cure for the Dracunyans, but Nate's friends soon fall victim to the Dracunyan epidemic. Nate, Jibanyan and Whisper brew a cure containing of garlic, salt and moldy bread, but this antidote turns all the Dracunyans into Manjimutts instead. In the end, Nate wakes up, revealing the entire series of events to have been a nightmare.
