Wheel Ghosts are flying yin-yang objects that appear as stage enemies in the Touhou Project, which first appeared in Subterranean Animism, and were given an official name in 100th Black Market. Their appearance bears resemblance to the Yin-Yang Orbs, but their connection to them is unknown.
The wheel ghosts have two outer layer rings that spin on their opposite directions with 5 spherical lights on each ring. There are four known colours to these: blue, green, red and purple. Which colour and what kind of danmaku they shoot depends on the game stage they're on and the difficulty.
