A Menreiki (面霊気?) is a type of youkai in Japanese folklore, composed of Gigaku masks. In Touhou it's more akin to a Tsukumogami of a mask. It's a lesser known youkai so there isn't much info on their powers or ways to defeat them, though at the same time there's nothing listing exceptional strengths.

Menreiki

The only such example in Gensokyo is Hata no Kokoro, a tsukumogami of a mask Toyosatomimi no Miko made in the past. Being recently born there isn't much known about her beyond what's revealed in Hopeless Masquerade. Her masks at first were her way of expression and possessing emotions and if she miss one, there's the risk of the others going out of control. She appears innately skillful in various Noh plays.
