The Yao Guai are a species of mutant bears and are some of the strongest, fastest, deadliest creatures you can expect.
In Chinese, Yao Guai (妖怪) simply means "monster". In mythology, they are physical incarnations of the spirits of mistreated animals, or fallen divine animals. There is evidence that there were Chinese soldiers who actually made it to the American mainland during the Great War (for example, the different Chinese weapons available in the game, the remains of Chinese soldiers, the Chinese Remnant in Mama Dolce's and the Chengs living in Tenpenny Tower), so it is possible that its Chinese name comes from this influence.
