bodied yukkuri

A yukkuri that has a humanoid body, as opposed to being just a head/bun.

Bodied yukkuris generally resembles humans, specifically their species' respective touhou counterpart (e.g. a bodied Reimu will resemble Hakurei Reimu). The main distinguishing feature that differentiates them from humans are their heads which resembles a regular yukkuri: having no nose, big "moe" eyes and is considerably rounder and wider than a human's head. Their size also varies from mini bodied yukkuri to the size of a human teenager, though they're usually smaller than an adult human (except for the rare bodied dosu).

Bodied yukkuris aren't born bodied but rather regular yukkuris who grew a body. How a yukkuri becomed bodied is unclear as it usually happens overnight without anyone watching. Notably a yukkuri turning bodies will also grow clothes. Again, their clothes will resemble the touhou character they're based on.

Why a yukkuri becomes bodied is also unclear. Some yukkuris like Noukarins or the Scarlet sisters are more likely to become bodied than other specieses for unclear reasons. Some yukkuris who became bodied are nicehead pet yukkuris who are particularly well cared for so it's possible that these yukkuris becomes bodied as a way to get closer to their owners (or even to mate with their owners if they really love them). These doesn't explain how some random strays become bodied though

While they look humanoid, bodied yukkuris are still yukkuris. Their skin are still dough and their insides are still entirely paste. They are generally more durable than regular yukkuris but are still relatively fragile. Also worth noting that decapitating a bodied yukkuri won't turn them back into a regular yukkuri but will outright kill them.

Bodied yukkuris are considered rare specimens (even if they're a common species like Marisa or Reimu) and ones that aren't already pets are often adopted as one or kidnapped to be sold at a high price. Conversely shitheaded bodied yukkuris will often try to use their bodied status as a priviledge to abuse other yukkuris or demand stuff from humans. Despite this though if a bodied yukkuri is a shithead humans will still have no qualms to abuse it

Worth mentioning that depictions of bodied yukkuris can vary greatly between different artists, or even the same artists will depict them differently between different storied. Some artists depict bodied yukkuri as an entirely different species than regular yukkuri, rather than an "evolved" regular yukkuri. Some artists depict bodied yukkuris as only having a vaguely humanoid body and does not resemble humans at all. Some depict bodied yukkuri as naked just like regular yukkuri.

Reisen, Yuka-Chen, Kaguya, and the Scarlet sisters are some yukkuris who are particularly prone of becoming bodied.
