How do you say wolf demon in Japanese?

Question

I know that wolf is ookami but I don't know how to say wolf demon, cat demon is Nekomata

Answer 1

Using 'akuma' = 悪魔, another word for "demon," a better possibility might be

ookami-akuma = 狼悪魔 = おおかみあくま

My expert says, "The word 'yasha' = 夜叉 means an Indian demon god, and it doesn't seem correct here. And even 'ookami-akuma' doesn't sound very idiomatic. In an anime they would think of something more special."

Answer 2

夜叉 "yasha" is sometimes depicted as a demon warrior.

Hence "inuyasha" for "dog demon."

So, wolf demon~ (roughly) Okamiyasha 狼夜叉
