This article lists characters who appear as '''Midbosses''' within the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' and other relations, but have not been given official names or even enough information.

There are a good few unnamed midbosses that have been introduced in the ''[[Touhou Project]]''. However, this may refer to:

This tank attacked [[Reimu Hakurei|Reimu]] and [[Genjii]] before the [[Rika#Machinery|Flower Tank]] on the first stage of ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]''. [[Rika]] said that everything on the first stage was built by her, so this tank is obviously hers.

This character attacked Reimu and Genjii in the beginning of ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'''s second stage.

}}
This mirror-like being attacked Reimu and Marisa earlier in the third stage of ''[[Lotus Land Story]]''.
 
===Character Basis===
;Design
The sprite shows that it looks like a black mirror outlined in a crystal blue frame with a "tail" at the bottom with spikes curving out of it with what appears to be two black "strings" on both sides. The mirror has [[demon]] wings and a small antenna at the top. When it spins while moving, it appears to be completely flat.
 
===Additional Information===
*Its species could possibly be an [[Tsukumogami#Ungaikyo|Ungaikyo]], a type of Tsukumogami.
*It might have some relation to the [[#MS 2nd Stage Midboss|2nd Stage Midboss]] of ''[[Mystic Square]]''.
*It seems to be the flattest character in the whole series, being the size of only one pixel. (Even more so than Suika?)
*It somewhat appears similar to the [[Evil Eye]].
 
===Fandom===
*Due to it's looks, some western fans call this miboss the "Magic Mirror" or the "Magic Mirror Midboss", but due to the [[#MS 2nd Stage Midboss|other mirror]], it's better to refer to it as the "Magic Mirror ([[Demon]])" or the "Magic Mirror Midboss (Demon)" to avoid confusion.

This character attacked the heroines twice in ''[[Lotus Land Story]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s fourth stage and again in ''[[Mystic Square]]'''s third stage.
 
===Character Basis===
;Design
The sprite of her in ''Lotus Land Story'' shows that she has short purple hair, a yellow dress with a bow, green shoes, a big green bow on dress, and has very light transparent wings that ''might'' be attached to her arms. She has a pink hat with a long ribbon attached to it and has yellow sparkles around her. Her sprite in ''Mystic Square'' is just as same as ''Lotus Land Story'''s, but her hat with a long ribbon is now gone.
 
===Additional Information===
*She is noted for being the only nameless character in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' to appear in more than one game. [[Daiyousei]] is excluded since her name have been used by [[ZUN]] as a term.
 
===Fandom===
*Her species is thought to be a [[Fairy]]. Due to this, she is sometimes called the "Nameless Midboss Fairy" by western fans.
*A western fan has given her the nickname {{nihongo||蓮華的|Rengeteki|lit. "Like the Lotus Flower"}}, but it's not very popular and thus rarely used due to its terrible translation.
*Some fans speculate that the 4th Stage Midboss of ''Lotus Land Story'' isn't the same character as the 3rd Stage Midboss of ''Mystic Square''.

This mysterious ball appeared out of nowhere and attacked the heroines on the extra stage of ''[[Lotus Land Story]]''.
 
===Character Basis===
;Design
Its sprite shows that it's a white ball of light that flashes which has small sparkles around it.
 
===Additional Information===
*It's the first character in the series to have no [[hit box]] for the player to hit. It disappears after a certain time.
 
===Fandom===
There's a rather popular theory that this ball is [[Nue Houjuu]], as she appears as a ball of light in ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'', with both dropping items when leaving the screen and giving an extra life if certain conditions are met. It's also possible that it was [[Yuuka Kazami]], who became a similar ball of light during her second boss battle in ''Lotus Land Story''. [[Icarus]] from the ''[[Seihou Project]]'' can also turn into a ball of light, but this one is highly unlikely due to its [[canon]].

This character attacked the heroines on the first stage of ''[[Mystic Square]]'' She appears to be simply a stronger [[demon]] and that seems to be one of the many demons leaving [[Makai]]. The sprite appears to be reused later on for general enemies in stages 5 and 6 with a lot of clones, suggesting to be a midboss turned common enemy. However, stage 1 and 3 enemies of demons also resemble this midboss, with a different of a blue dress and having arms not stretched out.

This character attacked the heroines in the first stage of ''[[Ten Desires]]''.
