Failian is a blue alien-like creature wearing dark gray glasses and wears a silver U.F.O costume with the small window panel pale yellow and the bottom a stripe pattern of blue (with yellow studs) and white. He also has a zipper behind his back suggesting that even this is not his true appearance.
Failian has an impish personality and enjoys Inspiriting people to cause them to pull pranks and foist lies upon others.
Failian makes people trick others by firing a laser beam at them from his spaceship. The Inspirited victim will make a bizarre claim and cause others to panic, but then withdraws said statement and admits they were actually joking, saying "Psyche!" while pulling a face.

In the anime
Failian first appears in Yo-kai Failian, Inspiriting Katie, Bear and Eddie in turn, causing them to tell Nate distressing lies and then do a dance to end up annoying them. This quickly extends to Nate's teacher Mr. Johnson and even the principal on the speaker. After school, Nate identifies and confronts Failian, who promises to stop only if Nate successfully tricks him, before escaping and causing all sorts of mayhem around town.
Nate eventually realizes he needs the help of another Yo-kai and summons Illoo, trapping Failian in an illusion in which he causes global chaos, but is taken to outer space by a visiting alien claiming to be his long-lost brother, scaring him. It is also revealed then that his appearance was not of it all along. After Illoo raises the illusion, Failian admits defeat and gives Nate his Yo-kai Medal.
Etymology
"Failian" is a portmanteau of fail and alien.
"U.S.O." is a wordplay on the acronym "U.F.O." (Japanese: ユーフォー,Yūfō), which is pronounced like a singular word in a similar way the French do it, and the word "Lie" (Japanese: 嘘,Uso).
"Falsillo" is a combination of "Falso" (Fake) and "Platillo" (Saucer)
"Mythovni" is a combination of "Mytho" (Liar) and "OVNI" (UFO).
"Bugisco" comes from "bugia" (lie) and "disco" (disc, saucer).
Trivia
In an interview with Degenki Nintendo September 2014 issue, Failian's earlier design originally had no legs.[1]
Despite being a Bony Spirits exclusive, Failian can also be found in Fleshy Souls in the northern-most tree in Triangle Park due to a glitch.
On the back of Failian's model, you can spot a zipper, implying that he may not be an alien.
Failian's Soultimate description in Yo-kai Watch 3 has a typo, missing the word 'with.'
