What “spirit” means here

A cultural starting point, not a claim that Chinese mythology has one fixed creature taxonomy.

Chinese supernatural stories use overlapping terms such as yao, guai, jing, shen, gui, and xian. YaoBound therefore uses spirit for bondable companions without pretending it is the single correct translation for every Chinese supernatural being.

Each public compendium entry separates the inherited motif from YaoBound’s original design. That distinction lets the game draw honestly from Journey to the West while giving every companion a new life beyond a borrowed name.

Starter evolution lines

Evolution follows temperament, bonds, and choices—not capture rarity alone.

Branch choices are irreversible for an individual spirit, but repeatable sanctuaries let players raise another companion without permanent content loss. A failed tribulation keeps the invested materials.

Spirit compendium questions

What are YaoBound spirits?

YaoBound uses “spirit” as a gameplay term for a bondable being with its own will. The roster draws from Journey to the West and wider Chinese mythic motifs, then distinguishes those sources from original characters, forms, relationships, and evolution stories.

Is every YaoBound spirit taken directly from Chinese mythology?

No. Some names or motifs come from classical literature, while many forms and storylines are original to YaoBound. Every revealed starter line includes a source-boundary note so inspiration is not presented as recovered folklore.

How many spirits are planned for YaoBound?

The launch compendium contains 150 bondable spirits. This public roster lists every one with affinity, role, rarity, and a first-person biography; approved portrait art replaces the silhouette as production advances.

Can one playthrough obtain all three starter spirits?

Yes. The first choice determines the opening bond, but Little Stone Monkey, Little Drillwind, and Benbo’erba can all be obtained before Chapter I ends.

Adaptation principles

Inspired by the classics. Built as a new world.

YaoBound identifies the classical motifs it borrows and treats new forms, relationships, mechanics, and plotlines as original work. The compendium will expand as more regions and spirits are revealed.
