{{nihongo|'''Sokrates'''|ソクラテス|Sokuratesu}} is [[Ellen]]'s average short-haired pet [[cat]] with light tan fur from the [[PC-98]] era. In ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]'', he was always seen on top of Ellen's shoulder and it is said that he rarely leaves Ellen's side. The only time you see Ellen without him is when she casts a spell card.

;Name
Sokrates seems to share his name with a classic Greek philosopher called [[wikipedia:Socrates|Socrates]]. [[ZUN]] notes that [[Ellen]]'s clothing style and the "age" where cats were pets don't really match up, so the cat should probably be named "Archimedes" instead.

{{nihongo|'''Mimi-chan'''|ミミちゃん|Mimichan}} is a sentient female [[wikipedia:Intercontinental ballistic missile|intercontinental ballistic missile]] who only appears in Marisa's good ending of ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]''. She was formerly owned by [[Yumemi Okazaki]] and is now owned by [[Marisa Kirisame]] in the [[PC-98]] [[canon]]. Marisa wanted a weapon from the [[outside world]] and this is what she got. Unfortunately for Marisa, she doesn't know how to use her. It's unknown if Marisa still owns her in the [[Windows]] canon.

In ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'' chapter 9, the [[Three Fairies of Light]] found their home covered with vines. They were unable to get into their home, so they got Marisa to help.

During an unseasonal thunderstorm, Reimu and Marisa discover it, believing it to be an electric animal that could be raised to provide electricity. Its poison, however, affects the two [[human]]s to feel demotivated. The raijuu turns out to be one of [[Kasen]]'s many pets, and had caused the thunderstorm because it had been feeling neglected. The cure for the raijuu's poison is revealed to be corn, which helps Reimu and Marisa recover very quickly.

It is the first known character that has definitively been killed in the current era.

{{nihongo|'''Manzairaku'''|万歳楽}} is a seal, found in the [[Genbu Ravine]] by the [[kappa]] and [[Marisa Kirisame]] after she left a party at the [[Hakurei Shrine]]. Initially mistaken for a fur-covered monster fish, with a head like an otter's, the kappa let it go due to its appearance and large size. However, after [[Kasen Ibaraki]] describes the seal-like folkloric Manzairaku, purported to bring good fortune, Marisa and [[Reimu Hakurei]] go back to see the "fish." After using sonar and searchlights to find it once again, crowds later gather to catch a glimpse.

Manzairaku seems to be based on Tama-chan, who became renowned in Japan in 2002 when it lived in the Tama River in Tokyo. Seals are not native to Japan, which is why it was a rare sight. Like Manzairaku in the Outside World, interest in Tama-chan also faded.

Though initially being frightened of it, the kappa eventually teach Manzairaku tricks and has it put on shows to entertain folks for money. Manzairaku doesn't seem to dislike its position. However, despite treating him well, the kappa were ignorant in how to care for it, by having it live in freshwater and even being hinted to feed it "kappa food" (shirikodama), depressing him briefly.

In ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'', this youkai fox transformed into a human child to be able to follow [[Keine Kamishirasawa]]'s lessons and to learn writing in human language. However, because it lacked any paper material to write on, it wrote on the schools door, alarming the villagers as there was a youkai hidden among children. Even after Reimu starts a surveillance at the school, it manages to avoid the shrine maiden's traps and is unaffected by her youkai-repelling [[ofuda]], as it lacks any kind of evil. At the end, it is helped by [[Kosuzu Motoori]], that communicates with it and gives it a notebook to write on, making Reimu and the villagers believe that it left the school.

A snake from the [[Outside World]] that ate a human, causing it to be transported to [[Gensokyo]] as a youkai. Using its newfound powers, the snake became an infamous dine-and-dasher in the [[Human Village]], wearing a different human disguise each time and seemingly vanishing into thin air if chased. At the same time, it caused unrest by attacking a number of humans in its true form. Eventually the snake was confronted by [[Mamizou Futatsuiwa]], who broke its disguise and taught it Gensokyo's rules about interfering with human villagers.

After peering into "the outer edge of our world", he came to resent how [[Gensokyo]]'s humans lived at the mercy of [[youkai]], and created a plan to become a youkai himself.

The fortune-teller, reborn as a [[jinyou]], is discovered by [[Reimu]] who pursues him into the wilderness away from the village. Once no one is around, he claims that he has no intention of harming humans or even living anywhere they could find him, so there is no need for he and the "youkai shrine maiden" to fight. In response Reimu tells the jinyou that he has been misinformed, and that a human villager becoming a youkai is "the greatest sin of all", before apparently killing him.
