Attacks/ Skills/:

Naki Kinoko (Weeping Mushrooms): Leaves a trail of wailing, crying mushrooms that can be followed to his current location.

Tsubushi Goma (Smashing Top): Illusionary magic using a small toy top that gives the appearance and presence of a very large top, often used to pin opponents to the ground.

Bunshin (Divide): Using special happa (leaves), creates many illusionary clones of Shippō that distract the enemy.

Kitsune-bi ( Fox Fire ): Summons a ghostly-looking green fire. Used mostly for defense but works as an effective attack against weak yōkai.

Transformation: Deceives the enemy by transforming into another creature. These transformations are often incomplete, his untransformed tail usually gives him away, and the appearance usually can't be maintained for very long.

He is also able to transform to a pink balloon-like shape with limited flying ability to carry one light person like Kagome.

Shippō is also able to transform into a spider, thinking that Inuyasha was afraid of spiders (he does so in episode 13).

Heart Scar: Shippo learned this new attack while fighting a lizard demon. Shippo simply inflicts a painful but not deadly bite. But it seems this technique can release some of the demon's energy every time he bites him because Shippo says that he saw the wind scar.

Ganguma: Shippo uses his toy horse to carry souski out of danger.

Some of his "ingredients" include: ofuda [charm], ojizousan no moto [Element of Ojizou-san: an enlightened person who looks over children, travelers, and the Underworld], ganguma [toy horse], ganguhebi [toy snake], goma [top], happa [leaf], kinoko [mushrooms], and dosogeri [acorns].

Personality: Also hot-tempered, but with the innocent mind of a child, Shippou likes to help out whenever possible (since his fighting abilities aren't too much help, being that he's so young). He's very observant of other people's feelings, even if, like a kid, he blurts things out a bit too much.
