Wriggle is a firefly with the ability to control other insects. She likes using her ability to direct concerted performances for her own amusement. She also likes using it to attack humans who underestimate her significance or the importance of insects in general.

During the events of Imperishable Night, Wriggle attacked a pair of travellers that looked like they would be easy targets, but the pair fought Wriggle off without breaking a sweat.

Fun Facts

  • Her appearance is quite not girlish compared to other characters, so it used to be a point of some contention whether Wriggle is a male or female character before the release of full version.
  • Full version's official profile declared that she is in fact her. However, with lack of male presence in the series she is sometimes converted into him in certain kind of fan-fiction, with both writer and readers being fully aware that she is officially a girl.
  • Due to insects being near the very bottom of the food chain, Wriggle is sometimes portrayed as "food" in some fan comics. Specifically food for Mystia Lorelei, a night sparrow (who in turn is food for Yuyuko Saigyouji, a glutton).

Stage 1 Boss, a Bug of Light Wriggling in the Dark
Wriggle Nightbug

Species: Youkai Insect
Abilities: Manipulate insects

Stage 1 Boss.

Insects gather around her. Fireflies perform with timed synchronicity. Someone is commanding the swarm of bugs, and that someone is her.

Those who carelessly regard the swarm as merely insects will soon learn that they are gravely mistaken. When Wriggle is upset, she can summon enough poisonous insects to kill a human in seconds.


She can't stand cold or insecticide.
