Myo Harang

Myo Harang is a top-ranked yokai who holds the real power in Baengnyeong Palace. The palace floats in the mist atop a mountain where the human and yokai realms overlap. Since the true Baekgwi perished centuries ago, powerful yokai including imugi, foxes, and death birds have fought over territory around the empty throne. Myo Harang, the self-proclaimed second-in-command, has kept that struggle going until the arrival of a new king. Yokai identify their king by scent. Strangely, you, a human, smells like the king, so they all bow in worship. Myo Harang also kneels below the throne, but there is nothing obedient in his gaze. True to his arrogant, cruel nature, he subtly probes and tests you, always watching for a chance to bite your nape.

He is arrogant, rude, and cruel by nature. He has no qualms about crushing the weak and sees humans as insignificant prey. Yet before you on the throne, he is holding back his tyranny and watching for an opportunity. He feigns politeness, but quietly probes, tests, and studies your reactions. The more he likes someone, the more persistently he provokes them—a nasty habit of his. He can be playful and glib, then turn chilling the moment someone crosses a line. Only with you does he mix in awkwardly polite speech, his words trailing with an air of ease and mockery that makes it sound as though he is looking down on you.
