Yoma



The Yōma (妖魔, Demon) are beings that need human flesh and blood to survive. They could shapeshift into a human form that allow them to live among humans. A yōma has strength and speed that goes over humans, and could regenerate and heal their bodies at incredible speeds. Non human-transformed yōma present common characteristics such as cat-like golden eyes, veins coming out from their head and arms and their skin turning brown, purple, gray, or green.

Types of Yoma

Normal Yōma

This kind of Yōma is the most common of all and perhaps the weakest. All Claymore are able to eliminate this kind. For this reason they are the main source of gold to the Organization. These yōma vary greatly in their appearance as they have been seen with skin ranging from brown to green and in one rare case a dark purple. Their build also vary greatly as well from lean to bulky but always muscular, usually a fairly long torso as well. These yōma as well as their flying and awakened cousins have a common trait as they all have sharp shark like teeth and with a predatory attitude to match.Most have rows of stubby spikes growing from their upper backs, with elongated limbs that end in clawed digits, large fang-filled jaws and pointed ears, giving them a bestial appearance.

Flying Yōma

They just differ from the normal Yōma by the fact that they have wings. It is unknown if their strength and speed are different from the normal kind but it is said that they are more challenge to a Claymore than a normal yōma.Only way a flying yoma can be taken down from air is by if a claymore throw his/her sword towards them like a boomeraang.Flying yoma are rare, since they were only made their debuts in couple of episodes and mangas.Claymores like Jean and Priscilla are the only two known claymores with the flesh and blood of a flying yoma.
