Reappearing from 7.1 onwards, they fight the same way as in ''IX'', but can now cast [[Whack]]. Prior to their reappearance, they appeared on the [[Death]] Tarot Card alongside a [[Will-o'-the-whips]].

==Localization lapse==
With the 2015 localization of the smart phone version of {{II}}, the Mean spirit's name was changed to that of '''Sekerleton'''. This lead to confusion, as the name had already been applied to the [[Sekerleton|skeleton]] in the first [[Zenithia]]n game. The error arose because the two {{MFamilies}}s share the same name in Japanese, being '''しにがみ''', and the team that was assigned to localize {{II}} did not notice that the group which adapted {{IX}} foresaw this issue and averted it ahead of time.

However, the enemy is once again known as "Sekerleton" in {{DQB2}}, possibly due to the localizers referencing the English translation of {{II}} for enemy names. Curiously, the friendly version of the enemy encountered in the game's final chapter is still referred to as a Mean spirit.
