Eating blood and eating the meat off of something is still very different, even if the meat can grow back, since drinking blood really only implies some discomfort and passing out for a bit, whereas eating the meat off something implies heavy pain and physical mutilation.

Under Vampire in Perfect Memento:

"
Their main diet is human's blood. Those who are sucked to death will neither die nor become a ghost; they will move around as a zombie for a while, then evaporate under sunlight. "
Good thing Remilia is a light eater.


After losing to the Youkai, they're currently under contract where they can't actively hunt humans themselves, but the youkai will do that for them.

[HelenXonpool !a0yHhBwvus No.]

>>5026623

Remi never drains anyone entirely (at least not in one meal), and in either case she probably doesn't even ever drain humans personally since Sakuya takes care of the cooking.

Rumia is a maneater and attacks on instinct without provocation, but it's slightly doubtful that she ever catches anything to eat.

Yukari eats people, although not as everyday food. Presumably Ran handles the cooking, although it is unknown whether she or Chen eat people as well.
Nekomata occasionally eat their victims if they intend to impersonate them, but when doing so tend to hide away the body and consume it over time.

In the same category, Orin belongs to a species confirmed to eat humans, although it is unknown whether she herself does. If yes, her position makes it possible that she is a scavenger.

Meiling is a maneater, although the household restricts which kind of people she is allowed to eat (which exactly is unknown. Miko and witches are however free game).

Although kappa are known to eat children, Nitori probably doesn't (although DS would have us think so).

Anyways, have a happy, grateful Rumia who did absolutely not just loot Santa's body.

eating does nor imply whether something feels pain or not
nor does it imply whether it retains harm.
it implies nothing else but to take part of an organism and ingest it for sustenance
nothing more(aside for the the biological functions needed to break down the food ect..)

The only kind of creature in Chinese mythology Meiling resembles is a kind of hellspawn, so she's probably referring to herself.

Then again, she came out of a place where people eat youkai, so you can never really be sure.

[Anonymous No.]

Youkai are monsters. Like elsewhere in the world, some monsters eat people.

That they're mostly moeh little girls should not district you from the fact that a monster is a monster.

Still, I doubt there's too much eating, since the humans seem to live in relative peace and have the ear of some sympathetic youkai and exceptional humans.

It seems like eating humans is more the taste of low-level, feral or stupid youkai.

[HelenXonpool !a0yHhBwvus No.]

>>5027408

Humans have a decent amount of meat on them, practically no natural defenses, extremely poor senses and nearly completely eroded instincts. And as much as we love to playing the intelligence card to distance ourselves from other animals, let's face it - humans can also be very, very dumb in ways other animals are rarely capable of being.

Easy prey.

[Anonymous No.]

>Humans have a decent amount of meat on them

Humans, due to their long lifespan, accrue a remarkable quantity of toxins in our meat.

>practically no natural defenses,

The human brain (and the tool-using that comes with it) are literally unmatched. Humans are fairly strong and agile animals, and are almost unmatched in endurance-based tasks (humans of the past would literally pursue animals until they died of exhaustion).

>extremely poor senses and nearly completely eroded instincts.

Human eyesight is quite sharp, and the other senses (save smell) are more than adequate for an animal centered around sight. As for "eroded instincts," as a human, it's difficult to make that claim. Kinda like a lunatic saying he's perfectly sane.

On second thought, a better explanation is that youkai - as with most mythical creatures - are originally derived from human fears and weaknesses and so would naturally be associated with mortal danger.

So basically they eat humans because "attacking humans is a youkais job". Really.
