Needs sequel

And then Mokou was awesome.

>>928342
wasn't she always?

YU!
By George, I'd say this is the best fucking brain teaser ever.

>>928348

>>928288
>>928321

Please say there's more.

Do they open the box? Do they?!

>>928353
I wish to know myself.. they appeared here:
http://tennkoma.blog92.fc2.com/

There are three yukkuri.

Please tell me something comes out of the box and kills them damn yukkuris.

Why, just why do these damn yukkuri have to exist. WHAT SPAWNED THEM.

>>928360

Yukari.

>>928360
The moon.

>>928370

The Ancestor

>>928360
A spectral meatbun factory.

>>928370
>>928377

Goddamnit.

>>928368

This being possible also makes me angry.

>>928391

Gee, Doctor, maybe you should just...

Take it easy!

Yukkuri are so cute and stupid at the same time.

I wish to kill them all.

Delicious tears of RAGE.

>>928411

ಠ_ಠ

>>928784
Delicious paste, must eat.

>>928853
WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

FUCK YEAH! IT CONTINUES!

>>928859
WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY is a battlecry, it is NOT a substitute for "WHYYYYYYYYYYYY." Lurk the fuck more, or at least read Jojo's Bizarre Adventure before trying to reference it.

>>928875
I thought that was the most awesome thing I had ever seen, causing my blood to boil like a werewolf seeing the high priest of Metallicana's daughter, so I thought it quite appropriate.

>>928869
"A tearful story of selfless friendship"

>>928869
I like where this is going.

>>928891
Do you really think the one who reaches the top first will help the one below? Pffft.

>>928900
True. Yukkuris enter a trance upon seeing food. Everything else ceases to exist.

wat?

>>928931
Yukkuris are able learners.

By the way, Summary Anon, care to share some more stories? Anthology is gonna be released soon.

>>928981
Anon comes home and finds a family of Yukkureimus. After the usual pleasantries, he offers to make them some toast. They're happy about this. He takes them to the sink and washes them. He then steps on the mother, who was next to him. "Why are you stepping on mommy!!? She's not bothering you!!!" "Yeah, but she will try to in a moment." He then starts emptying one of the small yukkuris. The others scream and panic. He then turns the rest into jam, and offers some to the mother. It vehemently refuses, so he tips it over and puts a flat stone on it. He says he won't let it go unless it eats some. He then goes out, has a drink with his friends, shares the toast with them, goes shopping, all the while taking it easy. When he returns, he puts a slice in front of the mother, who licks it and says "I don't care anymore. I wanna take it easy." When the yukkuris drop the triple exclamation mark, you know they're utterly broken. So he crushes it with the stone. He notes that it was tastier than the little ones, since fear and despair makes them sweeter.

>>929019
Yeeeessss... Proceed.

>fear and despair makes them sweeter
gotta write that down

And two short ones. A Remirya is living with Anon, who says it's a shame it's so retarded, so he's going to make it smarter. The next day, it goes out to look for food. It finds a family of Yukkureimus, and sees the mother feeding the babies. It feels a peculiar happiness about this, and decides not to eat them. Moving on, it finds a tree where a Flandre lives. It's decorated with live yukkuris impaled on the branches. Instead of eating them, it lets them down and scatters them around, so the Flandre can't gather them again. It then gets hit by a red light, which I assume is the Flandre. The author notes that trying to give intelligence to a yukkuri won't lead to anything good.

The kids of the village have recently discovered a new game: yukkuri sumo. They lure yukkuris with promises of food, and make them push each other. They seem to consider this a fun game, but they change their minds afterwards. This time, they've caught a pair of siblings. They're competing against each other for who gets the big meal they were promised. When the big sister manages to knock the other one over, it finds herself being force-fed its little sister. A meal, indeed. The kids then hang it on a branch and leave it for the next time. When the go to take it back, though, they find out that a Remirya ate it. Oh well, let's go get some more.

saved, saved and saved
thank you

>>929032
Shouldn't it be the other way?
Making them dry?

>>929099
Much is unknown about yukkuri biology.

>>929040
>Feeding her babies.
How? Vomiting part of its bean paste or hunting things?

holy shit this guy makes the yukkuris REALLY FUCKING CUTE

Im having shooting arm pains

>>929282
Carrying bugs and fruit in its mouth, I assume. We're not really sure how they carry things.

>>929282

Orkyukkuri

WAAAGH IT EEZIE!!!

Yukkuris remind me of someone.

>>929640
Lol, nice yukkuri worm.

>>929640
Oh god, can't unsee, can't unsee.
You ruined it easy for me.

Freshness

>>929669
Shiki has got to be the most easygoing of the yukkuris (I haven't seen a Yukari yet though).

>>928288
>>928321

Why do they have to be mean to them? They're disgusting enough as it is, but it gets to a whole different level when they're bullied or even tortured.

Have an Ayayukkuri

>>929689
I think she's just training the cute little buns.

>>929623
Remirya's food-wasting antics are so frustrating, it's very rewarding to see her like this.

MORE SUMMARIES

>>929671
>>929675
>>929678
Needs quick translation.

>>928381
Oh wow, all this time and I never noticed Yukkuris look like Porings.

>>929658
What?

Yukkuris always reminded me of 2chan's retarded Suiseiseki whose name I forgot.

>>929689
I assume it is their power that forces me to torture/bully them, so I happily continue with my work.

>>929749
Jissouseki. But Yukkuris are cuter

>>929765
Pics nao, what does she do?

okay, I've seen these things for the longest time... what the hell did these touhouheadinites come from?

is there a story behind why the hell they were created by some moonspeaker?

>>929791
Some guy tried to make Shift-JIS art of Reimu and Marisa and failed miserably. Somebody else thought it was hilarious and drew the original picture.

Jissouseki was meant to be disgusting. Yukkuris were meant to be cute. OH WOW, THEY'RE SO SIMILAR, FUCK YEAH!

>>929814
I thought it originally came from horrible Touhou fanart some Internet radio host in Japan got and posted it on his website?

>>929813
Editing. I have doubts about the first one, since I suck at redrawing.

Summaries must flow.
Also, fuck yeah! I had a dream about yukkuri at last. Alas, there were no bullyings. Just a epet-master relationship.

>>929923
Explain.

One with multiple stories.
1) A family of Yukkureimus is taking it easy in the plains, when suddenly Aya shoots a blast of wind at them, killing half of them and fatally injuring the rest. She then observes one of them trying to get away with half its body missing. She steps on one scrap of skin that was hanging from it. It manages to rip it off and proceed a bit, but then dies. She then goes close to the last one, which tells her "You'll never...beat me." She begins crushing it with a wind barrier, and asks if it still thinks so. "You'll never...beat me!"She keeps increasing the pressure and asking it. It finally explodes, after whispering "Mommy" one last time. Normally, yukkuris beg for their life, but this was defiant to the very end. Aya gives it the honor of taking a few pictures for her album.
2) Reisen has been burdened with the duty of feeding Eirin's yukkuris. The fact that they're utterly powerless, yet so brash and demanding, really pisses her off. One day, the last family she's supposed to feed is in the Winter Room, a room where the temperature is permanently close to zero. A Yukkurisa and an Alice live in that room, humping every day. As Reisen enters, she sees a great number of black bundles on the floor, probably dead yukkuris. She also notes that the other day, there were 7 kids, and now there are 5. She puts down the food, and the two parents rush over and start devouring it. The kids are slower due to their lower resistance to the cold, so when they get there they have to lick the tray to eat anything. (The parents have already returned to the nest, and are humping.) The kids look at Reisen as if it's her fault, and ask her for more food. Reisen remembers the time she came to Eientei, when she also had to beg for food and protection. Having another's life in your hands can be a dreadful thing.

>>929964
3) Akyu got caught by her mother bullying yukkuris, and got a stern lecture. She's sitting in the balcony, thinking about the urges that come to her every time she thinks about yukkuris. They keep tormenting her mind, until one day she snaps. She buys a sharp hammer, goes to the plains, and finds a Yukkureimu family. Needless to say, she crushes them all while singing happily. Upon returning, she greets her mother, but she's forgotten that she has a bloodstained hammer in her hands. (Right.) Her mother, upon seeing her daughter's yandereness, falls into despair, and considers another, harsher lecture.

>>929964
I hate Aya so fucking much.

Choudenji Spin V no J it easy!

>>929966
YANDERE AKYU
FUCK YES YOU'RE THE BEST CHARACTER EVER

>>929964

Beware the yukkuri predators who prowl the plains

Speaking of Akyu:
One February morning, she gets a shovel and starts digging a hole in a certain place. After a while, she digs up a chest in which she had placed her Yukkureimu. A month ago. She put some fly eggs in its mouth, so the flies would reproduce and it wouldn't starve to death. The cause for this was that it knocked over her ink tablet. Yukkureimu, utterly broken, begs Akyu not to put her back into the ground with her "friends". "These black things aren't my friends! I promise. I promise I'll do anything you say. I'll be a good girl. I'll never break anything again. I promise I'll listen to anything you say zo bleaze dontputmebackintherebleeeeeeeeaze" Akyu finally stops threatening it, sprays some bug spray on it and puts it on the ground. She then puts another chest in the hole, one which contains her Yukkurisa, this time with cockroaches instead of flies. The reason being that it eats sloppily. It begs desperately, and Akyu asks it if it understands what it did wrong. "I don't know, but I'll do anything, so please not the chest pleasepleaseplease" "You don't understand, do you? Oh well, you'll have a month to think about it." She then buries it, and goes home with the Yukkureimu.

Oh wow. Akyu: the ultimate bully.

○悪いゆっくり（コピペ）

the short of this: http://thewaterducts.sakura.ne.jp/cgi-bin/up/src/fuku0683.txt

Hungry yukkurisa that came out of winter hibernation and thus at the verge of eating anything, gets fed some seeds by Anon. Some wacky fairy comes along and makes the flowers bloom, outside and inside of yukkurisa. She despairs when shown her wrinkled and flower-broken reflection in the nearby stream, but gets a pep talk about how now she will never be alone and a sip of orange juice. When the fusion is complete, her sustenance is provided by a weekly dose of water and sunlight. This becomes a big hit at the factory and breeding starts full force.

>>929964
I love Aya now.

>>930218
>breeding starts full force

Factory seems a nice place to be, in you know what I mean.

>>930246
I would take it easy at full force in her house and garden, uuuuuuu.

>>930246
If yukkuris reproduce by vibrating on each other, how is the "recipient" that gives birth decided?

This shit is ol'd now, go circle jerk somewhere else.

>>930283
The one in the bottom.

>>930297
Don't they usually kind of rub each other's sides?

>>930283
Depending who is on top and who isn't.

>>930300
No, the actual copulation is done doggy-style. Rubbing cheeks is the greatest gesture of affection, like kissing for humans.

>>930283
Maybe the bigger one, or the one who takes it easy more?

this is admitedly more adorable and moving then any other MarisaxReimu anything I've seen.... she lifted her up by her little hair thing oh god hnnng activated

>>930283
We're still waiting for information on that; it's possibly a case of a mutual pregnancy. Meanwhile:

Necrogenesis - When a Yukkuri dies, but most of its innards remain in the body, two or more smaller Yukkuri of the same type will emerge from the body some time before decomposition. - Generally, only produces two or three new Yukkuri.

Mitosis - When a Yukkuri is cleaved cleanly in half, rarely, the two halves will restore themselves into two identical Yukkuri. The freqency of this form of protective reproduction is very small as conditions rarely arise that a Yukkuri is cut clean in half and each half retains its innards. Possibly, this is an advanced form of necrogenesis. Will only produce two new Yukkuri.

Tendril - The actual situations that contribute to a "tendril pregnancy" is unknown and only occasionally observed. After coitus, one of the mated Yukkuri will sprout a tendril-like protrusion from their forehead and, eventually, like tomatoes, smaller Yukkuri of either of the two parents' types will grow attached to it. The maternity period ends with the "mother" dying and the "children" breaking off the tendril and becoming as independent as any Yukkuri can become.

Internal - One or both of the mated Yukkuri swell with excess bean paste (where does it come from?) and undergoes a period of inactivity. After this period, the smaller Yukkuri will literally bounce their way out of the mother's mouth, until then remaining dormant within. Afterwards, the mother will either revert to normal size or be completely exhausted of bean paste during the reproduction to the point of death (non-necrogenesis). The number of offspring is related to the swelling size of the mother but, regrettably, the largest instance of such a pregnancy period was aborted due to Marisa's shenanigans. No information could be recovered.
This type of reproduction can also be triggered in one Yukkuri.

>>930371
Actually, the tendril theory seems to be gaining popularity lately. It will probably become the dominant theory. Also, since it's done doggy-style, the one in the bottom gets pregnant. Most likely, the children will be of the same type as the dominant one (i.e. if an Alice rapes a Marisa, the kids will be Alices) although exceptions exist.

>>930371
Looks fairly accurate. The only thing I have a problem with is the tendril description. The mother yukkuri only dies if too many tendrils sprout at once (ie. gangraped). Otherwise, the mother gets out of it unharmed.

On a side note, we should start up some sort of Yukkuridex project with description of the yukkuri life cycle, individual breeds, etc.

>>930371
>One or both of the mated Yukkuri swell with excess bean paste (where does it come from?)
Food?

>>930411
Most likely, yes. Since their insides are bean paste, and since if you cut open a bean paste-eating Remirya you'll only find meat, we conjecture that they can convert whatever they eat into the material they consist of.

SCIENCE.

>>930411
So essentially, whatever a yukkuri is fed turns into bean paste? Seems like a convenient, albeit peculiar, method in stamping out hunger. Just feed useless semi-edible trash to a yukkuri, let it swell, kill it, and you have instant bean paste.

>>930432
Yukkuris could be used to solce the world's pollution and food crisis. Organic waste shoved down a yukkuri's throat becomes transmuted into bean paste/meat. The engorged yukkuris are then processed into food for distribution to third-world countries.

This is a theory I've been thinking:
A Yukkuri's bean paste contains its genetic material. When humped by other Yukkuri, the dominating one manages to transfer its paste to the dominated one (perhaps through tendrils). Sexual reproduction, as we'd do it...

>>930432

Actually, that's exactly how every form of life ever does it. The eat things, and turn them into more of themselves. There's usually more detail on the intermediate steps, but on the amoeba level (Interesting hypothesis- Could Yukkuris actually be gigantic single-cell organisms? It would explain an awful lot) it's simply "Engulf food, introduce enzymes, convert proteins to amino acids, absorb into cell".

The most horrible thing for a yukkuri is to lose its accessory. Our protagonist this time is a Yukkurisa which has lost its hat. The accessory is proof that a yukkuri is a yukkuri, so as long as it doesn't have a hat, it can never take it easy. It wakes up earlier than other yukkuris. Today, it plans to enter a cave and try to steal a hat from other Yukkurisas. They wake up, however, and drive it out with unbelievable vigor. This shows that a yukkuri stealing another's decoration is the ultimate crime. This yukkuri also eats earlier than the others, so it can look for any fallen accessories. No luck. On the way back home, it finds a Yukkureimu family. They play with it for a while, but they're very careful, since they know that an accessoryless yukkuri is desperate, and will try to steal theirs. After a while they leave, and it goes back to its cave. It wakes up, however, and goes outside where it hears two of the yukkuris it was playing with talking. "That hatless yukkuri from before was staring at my ribbon!!!" "Yeah, ze. I bet it would've stolen our accessories if it could." "And to think we played with it because we felt sorry for it..." Since then, the hatless Yukkurisa was never seen again. The author proceeds to inform us to never harm a yukkuri's accessory, otherwise all the yukkuris in the world will chase you, never forgetting your heinous crime.

>>930455
Already thought of, in minor scale. Pic related

>>930469
Perhaps we can classify them as "extremely efficient simple multicelular beings", because they are far too complex to be unicelular

>>930457
Actually, according to the fic where Patchouli tells Koakuma to starve the Yukkurisa/Yukkureimu couple, they release a clear fluid. Koakuma was quite reluctant to clean it up.

>>930457
Although they appear to reproduce sexually, do yukkuris have genetic diversity? I mean, the offspring are identical to their respective parents. There's a mutation every now and then (Charkkuri), but yukkuris seem to just be clones. Can you still it sexual reproduction? It seems more like asexual reproduction through parasitism. The mother yukkuri is just the host for tendril. It seems to make sense since yukkuris can die from having too many tendrils at once. In most animals, the offspring would die instead of the mother when nutrients are scarce.

>>930474

but aren't yukkuris supposed to forget everything easy?

>>930474
>The author proceeds to inform us to never harm a yukkuri's accessory, otherwise all the yukkuris in the world will chase you, never forgetting your heinous crime.
Sounds like my kind of challenge

>>930487
Everything but that. Even if you kill their young or torture them, they'll forget it. But not this.

>>930487
They shiver when someone mentiones the "Factory". It looks like they have some long-range memory, reserved for extremely bad events.
But >>930474 sounds awesome. Steal a Yukkuri's hat, eat the coming Yukkuris. That's a lifetime free food supply, self-delivered to your door.

>>930505
But they'll assail you forever. Even when you're taking a dump.

Of course, this could be a good method of extermination; have someone destroy a yukkuri's accessory, and keep a few armed guards near them for a month or so.

>>930484
Well, I need to proofread more before hitting submit.

Anyways, to elaborate on the parasite hypothesis, the other method of reproduction where the yukkuri becomes "pregnant" involves the mother losing much of its mass/bean paste. Also, like before, it brings the risk of death to the mother should too many "children" develop.

>>930518
And what can they do to you? Bounce against your leg? Say "go away easy!!!" over and over? A simple kick does wonders.

>>930505
So by coupling long term memory of negative events with social taboos, we could have the entire yukkuri species associate humans with accessory theft, thus delivering said endless supply of food to everyone worldwide. Of course in order to do that, we'd have to establish a long running trend of theft and we'd need to be sure a fair majority of people would participate in furthering the image.

>>930532

Smother you under the weight of hundreds and hundreds of Yukkuris. They'll gather together during the night, and when you wake the first and last thing you'll see will be a tsunami of them.

Pleasant dreams~

>>930518

Plus, you'd never go hungry. The food would literally come to you.

>>930532
Hump your head and make you kill yourself

>>930532
This probably also includes Yukkuriemi and the mutated breed (such as Remirya). It may just be knowledge-passing that brings your name to them, or perhaps removing the accessory covers you in a kind of chemical trail that alerts all nearby Yukkuri of what heinous act you've committed.

>>930541
are they even smart enough to take advantage of their being like headcrabs?

>>930552
Wait until Anon starts teaching them that

>>930538
That would destroy the entire Yukkuri species.

>>930524
Furthermore, the tendency of yukkuri offspring to resemble parents of different subspecies provides further evidence for my hypothesis. Some parasites can absorb the genes of their hosts (think Alien). In this case, it would be a total assimilation of the host DNA rather than just a few genes. This way, the individual yukkuri subspecies' gene pools stay separate.

>>930552
A farmer Anon goes home after a long day's work, and decides to preempt us by asking "Isn't this where the yukkuris tell me to take it easy?" They do, but one of them, a Yukkurisa, has a body, a deep, bass voice and is six feet tall. The Yukkureimu is normal. He preempts them too, telling them to get out of this house. Of course, they refuse. The Yukkurisa actually punches him, and he gets a nosebleed. They fight seriously for a while, with the Yukkurisa getting a few hits in, but Anon pushes it down and starts ripping the skin off its face. Meanwhile, Yukkureimu is cheering. After Anon rips some of the skin off, Reimu screams. Marisa gets up, but instead of attacking again, rips off the rest of the skin, revealing a man's face. "Huh? What the shit, where am I?" "Mister, why are you here!!? What did you do to Marisa!!?" The man apologizes, but he doesn't know what happened. He remembers that before going to bed, he was drunk, and he tried to take the hat off a Yukkurisa. When he saw that he couldn't, he put it on his head. The two men have dinner together, and end up becoming friends. It turns out that if you wear a yukkuri on your head, you'll become one. It's not irreversible, though.

Related. They probably won't do it though since it's not naturally programmed in them like it is for headcrabs.

Apparently, a human who has stolen/destroyed an accessory becomes known to all yukkuris through magical means (probably the same magic that allows them to exist in the first place).

I should note, however, that this is a theory that appeared in one of today's fics, and we don't know if it will be accepted as mainstream yet. It was written in horror movie style, so maybe it wasn't that serious.

>>930552
christ, what if they were able to force their tendrils into your skull, thus causing a slow, horrible death as yukkuri infant sprouts pop out of your head?

You know, kinda like this fungus?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=o3t4v8PmY_Q

>>930566
I didn't mean what they do already latched on, but to take over humans intentionally

but yeah, you make a point against that

and about the hat thing... how about Kaguya Yukkuris?

>>930588
That would be a time paradox. Either that, or they'd be mistaken for accessoryless yukkuris for their whole lives, stop procreating, and become extinct.

>>930575
They are too retarded

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm3828242

D'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW

Ah, I just thought of some other ideas.

The headcrab ability of a yukkuri is parasitic in nature and also consistent with some real life parasites that can take over their hosts. Another method of host assimilation is the yukkuri virus, which can also be seen as a parasite. Some parasites are able to rewrite portions of their host's DNA, explaining the existence of Remiryas and Flankkuris. The parasitic nature of yukkuris also shows up in their behavior. They leech off of humans, demanding food, homes, etc. and do so in a manner that harms the human (ie eating all the food, stealing houses, etc.).

>>930588
Maybe their accessory is a wig?

>>930604
-Actually, both the swelling pregnancy theory and the headcrab theory have (AFAIK) only appeared in one fic each. We don't know if they're generally accepted. (Personally, I doubt it.)

-The stealing food and taking over homes part is done in the same fashion as other wild animals; they eat whatever they can get their mouths on, and live wherever they deem to be comfortable. By chance, humans' houses fill both of these criteria.

>>930604
No one will fall for that, and if that's the full extent of their "parasitic" abilities, they are still much better than a facehugger or a headcrab

>>930622
You're right about the headcrab thing, but the pregnancy theory appears somewhat often. I remember a few fics and one fanart with it. But, you're right, the tendril idea is the most widely used method. I made an argument for that too earlier in the thread.

As for the behavior thing, yukkuris don't just scavenge for space and food, they actively demand it from people.

One day, a bunch of yukkuris were taking it easy, when all of a sudden a man appeared and abducted them. (A Remirya, a Reimu, a Marisa, a Chen and a Myon.) He took them to a room in the factory, and locked them there. They were to be used as stress relief for the employees. A man walks in, and kicks the Remirya into the wall. It sits down and cowers. The other yukkuris tell him to apologize, but he grabs the Chen and throws it into the wall. He then takes the Reimu, and shaves it bald with an electric razor, ignoring its desperate pleas; their accessories are more precious than their lives. The Reimu is now in a state of shock, and can only cry. He then takes the Marisa's hat, and it starts bumping him while screaming "Give back Marisa's hat!!!". He beats it up until its whole body is swollen, takes it in his lap, grabs a pair of pliers and plays dentist. In the end, the now toothless Marisa faints from the pain, with bean paste flowing from its mouth. He then takes it to a faucet and washes its mouth. It wakes up from the pain. Under the pretext of making its mouth cleaner, he begins to brush its gums. With a four-bladed razor. The nightmare of the yukkuris has just begun.

>>930673
I think that the demanding part is what e.g. wolves would do, if they knew that they could talk to us. "Gimme food, or I'll bite your neck off. And get out of my cave, or I'll bite your neck off."

I may be wrong, though.

>>930628
I made a few posts concerning other parasitic traits of yukkuris. I was mainly just trying to argue that yukkuris reproduce parasitically, but I kinda went off on a tangent. I still think they are parasites. The scale and severity of their actions are irrelevant as they are not criteria for whether an organism is parasitic or not. They just need to harm their host either through annoyance or any other mechanism.

>>930709
You're right. But, that can become an example of parasitic behavior if the wolves (or any animal) do it constantly (as yukkuris do). It's social rather than biological, but it is still qualifies as parasitism.

>>930768
>They just need to harm their host either through annoyance or any other mechanism.

They way I see it, it's just that they're so tremendously selfish and greedy that they become annoying and harmful. If provided with an endless supply of all they want, they're quite capable of getting along with humans.

>It's social rather than biological, but it is still qualifies as parasitism.

Agreed.

>>930785
>They way I see it, it's just that they're so tremendously selfish and greedy that they become annoying and harmful. If provided with an endless supply of all they want, they're quite capable of getting along with humans.

That's an ideal, but impossible scenario. It could be used to argue for almost anything. e.g. "Mosquitos wouldn't need to suck blood if they had huge pools of food lying around."

Yukkuris form, perhaps, the most primary and fragile social structures of Gensokyo. Their short-term memory and inefficient speech should be huge obstacles to the formation of any kind of cultural identity, yet they display moral(albeit simple and easily breakable, they do have a sense of justice and punishment) and a capacity of abstraction able to form myths like the "factory" or the "sakuya", an entity evoked for protection.

>>930800
It's not entirely impossible, if you give them enough food and water and a wide enough space they'll consider you a nice neighbor. As long as you can take it easy.

>>930805
>myths like the "factory" or the "sakuya", an entity evoked for protection.

I think these are both passed down through word-of-mouth, based on previous experience. If e.g. one Remirya grew up under Sakuya's protection, it will teach its children that if they shout "Sakuya!" their problems will disappear.

>>930829
Ah, my mistake, I meant impossible as in terms of the entire species getting unlimited resources. A few irregular individuals does not make an impact on the species' behavior. Furthermore, in your neighbor scenario, the fact that you have constantly provide them with food and space to keep them friendly makes them parasitic. It goes back to the wolf analogy in that the yukkuris become social parasites.

Isn't that the very definition of myth? Word of mouth?

>>930899
Sakuya's pads, /jp/'s Candle

>>930909
The "based on previous experience" part makes the difference. Myths like e.g. Hercules are simply fiction (or exaggeration), but this seems to be based on the teachings of parents and forefathers. Something like the first Remirya growing up with Sakuya, and teaching its kids that "Sakuya" is a magic word that will solve all of their problems, and this is extremely important. The Remiryas, being too stupid to forget that, even if it fails, made it their subspecies' motto. Or something. The dangers of the factory seem to be information from runaways, as well.

/jp/ - Yukkuri/Biology

>>930929
I think that yukkuri personality traits are linked to genetic memory or something akin to it. Yukkuris are effectively non-sentient due to their retardation, so I doubt that yukkuris have the mental capacity to actively retell or recall stories and warnings. Their intelligence remains unchanged throughout their lives

Also, all undomesticated yukkuris of the same subspecies have the same core personality. There's also the fact that all older yukkuris become sarcastic. There must be some sort of genetic factor or involuntary force contributing to their knowledge base and personality.

Sorry about deleting my post. I forgot to type a quote sign.

>>930929
We know that Sakuya and the factory exist but, from the yukkuri point of view, they are in the realm of the unexplainable, even if there are some yukkuris who claim to have seen those. It 's like those crazy people who claim to have seen ghosts or whatever.

>>930952
They have a form of intelligence, albeit a very basic one. which shows in the fact that they can be trained.

>>930974
I think it's less inexplicable and more due to the fact that they don't bother to explain it. Mom said so, therefore it's true.

>>930952
Perhaps the sarcasm is their form of senility.

I want more Yukkuri bully stories

>>931003
I just finished reading this one.
Anon decides to play a prank on a Yukkureimu family. While they're away from their cave, he throws away their food, the stones they had gathered and a painting the kids made for the mother. When they come back he tells them what they usually say: "This is Oniisan's home! If you can take it easy, stay here!" They can't prove the opposite, since their personal items have disappeared. They end up being grateful. The kids then ask for food. Anon says "I said I'd let you stay here, but I never said I'd feed you. Understand it easy." The mother goes out to look for food. Meanwhile, Anon wraps the kids in a cloth and throws them in the river. When the mother returns, he says they were eaten by a crow. "Why didn't you protect them?" "I said I'd let you stay here, but I never said I'd protect you. Understand it easy." "Yu...I understand easy." That night, he surprises it bu hitting it with a log while it's sleeping. He then says "I said I'd let you stay here, but I never said I'd let you live. Understand it easy." He goes on to explain everything he did, and says that if it had understood earlier, it could have saved its young. He then leaves the cave.

God, I love these threads. Anon's master's degree in folklore and mythology is finally paying off.

Even Myon has its own yukkuri? It's not attached to a Youmu?

>>931149
No, to be precise, yukkuri Youmu is called Myon, just like yukkuri Remilia is called Remirya. Myon has a tendency to shout "Diiiiiick!!!" at inopportune times, sometimes embarrassing the real Youmu.

>>931280
Actually, all the normal ones are equal, except the Chen, which has double the jumping power of the others, therefore giving it the advantage in a fight consisting only of body blows. The Yukkureisen's position in that chart is, as of yet, unknown. The Patchouli is probably the lowest, since its physical condition is very bad.

>>931291
Yes, Yuubii is yukkuri Yuyuko. It has the ability to assimilate the features of the yukkuris it eats (upon eating a Remirya, it sprouted wings), and by detaching these features, it can create a clone of said yukkuri that follows its orders. Truly the mightiest of the yukkuris.

Then how does yukkuri Iku stack up? I've only heard it mentioned once, being called a yukkiku or something.

Fresh off Photoshop.

>>931360
It was only mentioned once, so we don't know if it's canon (well, fanon) but it fried a whole village of yukkuris (and a yukkuri Tenshi) with lightning bolts, and it can fly, so it's probably above the Yuubi. If it exists.

>>931360
Oh, and it's Yukkuriku or Ikkuri.

>>931360
Controls lightning, as the real Iku. Can destroy a Yukkuri village by itself.

>>931359
wha tthe hell is she doing to that yukkuri?

>>931383
Attempting to molest it, as she does with Remirya.

>>931375

Oh dear, there's a yukkuri Tensi, too? I wonder if it's as haughty as the real Tensi. Combined with the yukkuri's natural arrogance, it must be a real bitch.
