There are many types of youkai with extremely varied powers and meeting frequencies.

Some youkai are classified as their own race, but those that aren't are generally classified as youkai.

Which is confusing, but they basically fall into the "youkai (*1)" section.

Rarely if ever is there any commonality in their appearance, ability, character, danger level, or even their time/place of activity.

Just about the only thing in common between youkai is that they attack and eat humans.

There are definitely exceptions, but many fall towards this trend.

However, since they are very varied, one must be informed of each of their traits before heading out to exterminate them.

Unless one thoroughly plans and studies countermeasures, youkai extermination is difficult.

Youkai are infinitely physically stronger than humans, and trying to fight them will only have you end up as food.

That's why one should offer something else in place of themselves.

There are many that have a sense of duty, and if you don't go against them they'll treat you friendly.

Humans regularly perform exterminations, but this is a custom passed down from ancestors.

In Gensokyo, humans must exterminate youkai (*2).

There are occupations that specialize in youkai extermination.

In extermination, one does not use weapons that cause physical damage; weapons with an "origin" are more preferable.

1: It might be confusing, but youkai as a race belong to the "Others" section of the graph. I suppose there are quite a few graphs where "Others" is the largest category.
