That also brings in the question, how would the changing beliefs of humans affect the look and behaviour of youkai? Obviously the more detailed the description the less room for speculation, but still. Going by your example, would the 'second generation' Yamabiko have dog ears and generally behave like wild dogs, except the whole 'shout things back to the person who said it' aspect? In any case, I'd wager that such Yamabiko would generally be a spook factor rather than a simple explanation of echoes.
Some nice food for thought.
