Mujaki (夢邪鬼, Mujaki?, A demon that controls the dream) is a recurring character of Urusei Yatsura, who is also the main antagonist of Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer.
Appearance
Mujaki is a short little dream demon dressed in red with a top hat and little black spectacles. Created an alternate reality in which Lum, Ataru and the others were all trapped inside. Has overwhelming control over manipulation of dreams into reality, but his dreams almost always turn to nightmares. His cohort is the pig-like Baku, which to my recollection is an actual mythological creature which is said to eat dreams. Mujaki is a recycled character from one of Takahashi's earlier Urusei Yatsura stories. But he's a lot more powerful and sinister in this movie than the character he was based on.
As seen in episode 21b.
