Video games[]

Anime series[]

Biology[]

Irewig has the appearance of a centipede with a dark blue chitin and a yellow underbelly. His face, four arms and legs are orange, and has a scowling face with glaring eyes with light-blue sclera and sharp teeth with two prominent red fangs. He has red antennae that are somewhat jagged close to the end and an orange pincer-like pair of legs that with red tips on his tail. He also has red feet and straw sandals.

Irewig has a fierce and wild personality, which he passes onto the victims he Inspirits.

Anyone Inspirited by this Yo-kai becomes easily ticked off and prone to bursting into angry rants about even small, insignificant grievances. In the anime, Irewig does so by using the two legs on his tail to pinch his victims, making them angry.

Irewig himself is also easily ticked off, as seems to get angry for every cation done to him in almost every game. He can also multitask, as the anime shows.

Irewig appears in EP073, when he Inspirited Lily Adams and causing her to get into a rage when Nate makes requests for her. After Nate identifies Irewig, his tries to have Jibanyan and Happierre deal with Irewig, but it backfired after they get Inspirited too. Eventually Nate decides to summon Komasan, who ends up channeling his anger in cleaning gum off the streets and building birdhouses, forcing the group to join in the activity, including Irewig. Exhausted from the challenges, Irewig surrenders and gives Nate his Yo-kai Medal.

Irewig is summoned in EP105 to make Salty Bacon angry.
