  • English: Unnamed Snake youkai
Within the Touhou Project series, various types of youkai exist, one of which is the snake youkai. Although there isn't a specific character explicitly named "Unnamed Snake youkai" in the games, the concept and image are related to the Japanese legendary "Uwabami," or giant snake. The "Uwabami" is a massive serpent-like youkai known for its gluttonous appetite and love for alcohol. In traditional culture, snakes are seen as creatures with mysterious powers, capable of transformation and controlling elements, while also symbolizing life, death, and eternal youth. Snake youkai in Touhou Project are often depicted as powerful beings that might appear in certain storylines or background settings, but without a particular character name. These snake youkai are inspired by Japanese folklore and youkai legends, reflecting the series' use of traditional cultural elements. Overall, the snake youkai in Touhou Project is a mysterious and powerful entity whose image corresponds to the traditional Japanese concept of the giant snake youkai, adding to the fantastical nature of the game.
