Unusual Hilichurl — Menace of the Mansion is a unique common enemy. It wears a mask that reads "Wei" (伟), a reference to miHoYo's CEO, Liu Wei: it is mostly a game Easter egg.

Spawning Pattern
Two Unusual Hilichurls spawn per day, in 14 different possible locations, 6 in Mondstadt and 8 in Liyue. They do not spawn in Inazuma nor Dragonspine. Unlike other enemies, the Unusual Hilichurl is passive and will not react to players unless attacked.
There can only be one Unusual Hilichurl in the player's world at any given time. When an Unusual Hilichurl is defeated, it will go into its work briefcase and teleport to one of the 14 possible locations. After defeating the second one, there is a 12-hour cooldown before the Unusual Hilichurl can be fought again.
If the player finds them but leaves them alone, they will remain there for 12 hours before reappearing in another location. If the first one is defeated but not the second one, 12 hours after the first kill the spawn locations and count will reset. If the two Unusual Hilichurls are not found, they will respawn in a different location after some time (exact time is currently unknown; probably 12 hours).
If the player decides to engage in a fight with them but leave the combat, they will despawn.

Trivia
- Unusual Hilichurl (also known as Wei) is based on Da Wei, a self-insert character of Liu Wei, the director and founder of miHoYo. Da Wei also appeared in other miHoYo games, like Houkai Gakuen 2 and Honkai Impact 3rd.
- 伟 is the Chinese character for Wei, very similar to the one portrayed on Wei's mask.
- During the Mimi Tomo event, the hilichurls you talk to refer to the Unusual Hilichurl as 'Wei'.
- The yellow plushie that Wei pulls out of his suitcase is called Homu, which is a direct reference to Houkai Gakuen 2 and Honkai Impact 3. Homu first appeared in Houkai Gakuen 2 as Bronya's doll.
- The Cabbages he uses and drops are in reference to HI3's mascot, Ai-chan, whose hairstyle and hair color is similar to the look and color of a cabbage.
- The number of Mora drops are exactly 233 Mora. "233" is a Chinese internet slang equivalent to "laugh out loud."
- During the Energy Amplifier Initiation event, Wei can be affected by the Irminsul Fruit Fragment's aura.
