KANEKO’S CRIB NOTES XLVIII: LITTLE GUYS

This one is for the little guy(s). The compendium isn’t all statuesque deities and that one yakuza guy: there’s plenty of room for the diminutive spirit or the dwarfish god, though many sit at the bottom of the food-chain in terms of level or are otherwise relegated to extreme obscurity. Such is the case with our slate for this month, but I’m sure you’ll find they’re inspired all the same!

OTOGO-DOUJI: Our pal Douji has been a particular no-show following his debut in the Saturn era. His design is a fairly direct interpretation of classical depictions of the Gohou-Douji, a class of child-like protector deities in Japanese Buddhism. Kaneko’s rendition is decked out with the dharma-wheel and sword-garb sported by both the more common young boy variety pictured above and the hilarious child-man incarnation.

BES: The perhaps equally obscure Bes is uniformly depicted as a pot-bellied dwarf with lolling tongue, so you can hardly hold it against Kaneko for playing a close game here. In a somewhat surprising move, he forgoes the opportunity to depict a certain appendage in favor a more modest combination of primate tail and stylish shorts, with an Eye of Horus medallion thrown in for flavor.

“Alciel’s” true name and sources have been found!

Drum roll, please…

>ARSIEL<! Fuck you, G.I. Joe PSAs, knowing (in this case, the correct spelling) was the ENTIRE battle. Who would have guessed the “ル” in  “アルシエル” actually represented an “r” in the non-Japanese source? As for the above quote’s provenance, it’s from a book called Tree of Souls: The Mythology of Judaism. You can also view the passage and more here.

But compare this to Arsiel’s/Alciel’s profile in Strange Journey:

“The ”Black Sun“ who lives in the underworld in Babylonian lore. His original name is Aciel, which the Jews borrowed from a Babylonian god, and called him the "King of Gehenna.” But in some Asian faiths, all things are reborn only in darkness, so Alciel is not all bad.“ 

A proposed Babylonian origin for Arsiel, where he was called Aciel, is missing in the Judaism book. Luckily, this explanation can be found in another book, The Woman’s Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets (thanks to @sorenblr for finding this one): 

The Woman’s Encyclopedia predates Nocturne by 20 years (and was translated into Japanese in 1988), so even though the information in it may considered dubious (check out the scathing reviews for the book on its Amazon page that cast doubt on the authenticity of its sources), it’s still entirely plausible that you could draw direct lines between it and Nocturne’s Arsiel, including his profiles that mention the Aciel/Black Sun aspect. But even if that information is dead wrong, Arsiel is still confirmed to be an authentic minor character in Jewish myth.

The Modern Compendium is a project dedicated to cataloging the vast number of new figures of belief and worship that have grown up in the last couple of hundred years. Definitions of demonic families are included, as many have changed. We assume no responsibility for corrupted data, fusion errors, or accidental injuries that may occur with relation to these demons.

Deity Family A demon family dedicated to modern gods hidden in plain sight. With strong connections to the holidays that we celebrate on a society-wide scale, Deity family demons gather belief even from self-professed non-believers. This grants them an unusually high level of power, allowing them access to some of the most powerful skills and highest all-around stats in the game. Given their connection to the seasons, many of these demons have elemental affinities that center around Fire and Ice.

Father Christmas Lv. 85 Absorb Ice. Weak to Fire. Spring of Life, Refrigerate, Bolt Storm (Lv89) “An amalgam of many different figures from many different regions, Father Christmas is a very old deity who has found a new source of belief. He still rides the midwinter sky, as he did in days of old.”

Osterhase Lv. 74 Weak to Ice. Resist Fire. Absorb Wind. Bunny Hop, Luster Candy, Dekunda (Lv75), Salvation (Lv80) “Born from the ancient goddess of spring known as Eostre, Osterhase would form the basis of the egg-laying rabbit that leaves treats for children.”

May Queen Lv. 44 Resist Wind. Weak to Fire. Recarmudra, Mediarama, Spring of Life (Lv45), Life Bonus (Lv46) “Once a personification of spring roughly equal to the Green Man, today the May Queen lives on in beautiful young women elected to open May Day celebrations.”

Krampus Lv. 38 Resist Ailments. Hell Thrust, Dormina, Null Ice (Lv 40) “An odd mirror vision of Santa Claus, the Krampus is said to bring coal and switches for spanking to bad children on Christmas. Today, the traditions involving the Krampus are maintained mostly in Europe.”

Kishin Family The Kishin family of demons is dedicated to gods that protect a specific place or group. Though normally composed of exclusively Far Eastern mythological figures, this Compendium’s Kishin family is composed of national personifications and guardians from all over the world. They are still, however, primarily physical demons with powerful offense and useful anti-physical resistances.

Nayenezgani Lv. 75 Repel Physical. Resist Gun and Dark. Null Light. Hades Blast, Makarakarn (Lv78), Life Surge (Lv80) “A Navajo spirit called the Slayer of Alien Gods. A defender of all humankind, the Nayenezgani is said to protect the mortal world from monsters, demons, and fiends.”

Wanjiku Lv. 51 Resist Gun and Fire. Weak to Light. Zandyne, Blast Arrow, Makakaja (Lv52), Spring of Life (Lv54) “Where Americans refer to the man in the street as John Q. Public or John Smith, Wanjiku is the Kenyan version. The name actually comes from a story about Gikuyu and Mumbi, who founded the Agikuyu tribe.”

Eriu Lv. 42 Resist Wind and Electric. Weak to Fire Mediarama, Damascus Claw, Null Ice (Lv47) “The first of a triumverate of goddesses of sovereignity, Eriu personifies the modern country of Ireland. Derived from early Gaelic religions, the names of Eriu and her sisters are often used as poetic names for their homeland, much like England is sometimes called Albion.”

Holger Danske Lv. 36 Resist Physical. Weak to Wind. Rakukaja, Life Bonus (Lv27) “A knight who came to prominance as a mythical ally of Charlemagne, Holger Danske became a rallying point for Denmark during the country’s occupation in World War II.

Weak to Ice and Electric Makakaja, Tarukaja, Spring of Life (Lv. 34), Tama Densha (Lv. 40), Orlean Prayer (Fusion) “A stray cat who came to the rescue of a failing train station in Japan.

Genma Family Sometimes called the Demigod family, the Genmas are half-god and half-demon figures from mythology. In the Modern Compendium, the Genma family is comprised of figures from American folk tales. These are figures who have no direct connection to a god or gods, but exhibit heroic, almost god-like powers. Genma tend to be physically-based demons with useful support skills.

John the Conqueror Lv. 75 Repel Light and Dark. Endure, Salvation (Lv77), Judgment Light (Lv80) “An Arthurian figure from the mythology of enslaved Africans, John the Conqueror will always return to protect those who are laboring under oppression. He can be summoned by the use of the Ipomoea flower, also known as John the Conqueror Root.”

John Henry Lv. 63 Resist Physical and Fire. Weak to Electric. Berserker God, Power Charge (Lv65), Blood Ritual (Lv70) “A symbol of the working man’s opposition to the increasing obsolescence of muscle power, John Henry competed against a steam engine to see who could do the most work in one day. Though John Henry won, it cost him his life.”

Tarukaja, Spring of Life, Fang Breaker (Lv55), Chakra Walk (Lv56) “A young man who travelled the country planting apple trees, Johnny Appleseed is the reason apples are so prevalent in North America.

Herald Family A powerful family that only comes into play near the end of the Compendium, the Heralds are exceptional demons who take the guise of popular alien figures from UFO religions. Though these demons profess sympathy for humanity, their goals are far more in line with typical Law-aligned SMT demons. This family boasts powerful Light and Almighty magic attacks, along with resistance to both Light and Dark elements. They frequently have unique Fusion recipes.

Great I Am Lv. 98 Null Light, Dark, and Fire. Universal Convergence, Luster Candy, Magic Charge (Lv99) “A great teacher, the Great I Am has appeared in many different forms throughout history, to show humankind the way. Disobedience to his will is punished severely.”

Ashtar Lv. 91 Repel Dark. Resist Light. Prominence, Spirit Surge (Lv92), Antichython (Lv95) “One of many aliens that contact humans using psychic projection. Ashtar is a collective intelligence made up of many powerful extraterrestrial beings.”

Vrillon Lv. 87 Null Dark. Bolt Storm, Mahamaon, Megidolaon (Lv89) “An extraterrestrial entity who hijacked a television station to transmit a message about military disarmament. The message carried an implicit threat of extraterrestrial intervention.”

Sananda Lv. 82 Resist Dark. Judgment Light, Grand Tack, Salvation (Lv83) “A Theosophical interpretation of Jesus Christ that was later taken up by those who believe in benevolent aliens. They will come from the sky to save humanity from itself.”

Cosmic Master Lv. 67 Repel Light. Weak to Dark. Mahamaon, Maragidyne, Luster Candy (Lv70), Reflect Wind (Lv73) “A college of powerful teachers and psychics operating under the alien lord Aetherius, the Cosmic Masters exist to determine humanity’s future.”

Little Green Men Lv. 45 Resist Light and Wind. Weak to Ice. Hamaon, Dekaja, Zanma (Lv46), Tetraja (Lv48) “Though not a commonly reported kind of extra-terrestrial, this species is nevertheless a major part of modern superstition and belief.”

Nordic Lv. 37 Null Light. Resist Ailments. Hamaon, Javelin Rain “Sometimes called Tall Whites or Space Brothers, Nordics are said to be guardians of humankind, encouraging them to transcend their current lives. However, some have accused them of being complicit in abductions.”

Insectoid Lv. 31 Resist Light. Weak to Dark and Fire. Mahama, Javelin Rain (Lv32), Hamaon (Lv34) “Mysterious beings that sometimes appear alongside both the Grey and Nordic aliens, Insectoids are an inscrutable race. They say they have humanity’s best interests at heart.”

Thetan Lv. 26 Resist Light. Weak to Wind. Tentarafoo, Mazio, Zionga (Lv28) “A powerful alien from the myths of Scientology, Thetans are said to have created time and space out of boredom. An evil galactic overlord bound them to earthly bodies to control their power.”

Elohim Lv. 19 Resist Light. Weak to Dark. Hama, Zan, Media (Lv21), Patra (Lv22) “Though seen in many UFO religions, these aliens are most prominent in the movement known as Raelism. Raelians believe the Elohim created humanity through genetic manipulation, and judges the species from afar.”

Indigo Child Lv. 12 Weak to Dark. Hama, Zio, Agi (Lv13), Estoma (Lv20) “Psychically-gifted children said to have indigo-colored auras. Granted higher levels of psychokinetic and empathic abilities, some think these children are the result of genetic tampering by benevolent aliens.”

Holy Family Typically, the Holy family is made up of the animal partners of various gods. Given that few people believe in creatures like Sleipnir anymore, it makes more sense to turn this family over to the vast array of UFOs that believers report seeing in the sky every year. This family has some limited affinity with Light magic, but they’re more apt to use Gun skills and Fire-elemental attacks. Stat-wise, the Holy family focuses on high Agility.

Mother Plane Lv. 68 Null Light. Absorb Fire. Weak to Dark and Ice Maragidyne, Megidola, Prominence (Lv73), Judgment Light (Lv75) “An ancient vehicle, the Mother Plane represents the highest technological achievement of godlike creatures.

Mystery Airship Lv. 19 Resist Wind, Electric. Weak to Ice Mazan, Myriad Arrows, Sukujaka (Lv20) “Often reported in the 18th and 19th century, when people were certain that someone out there had cracked the secret to powered flight and were not sharing it with the world.”

Megami Family In Shin Megami Tensei, three demon families are explicitly female; the Megami family is the first of these. Megami demons in this Compendium are based on mythological figures that fit the Mother part of the female trinity embraced by modern matriarchal religion. This family has Magic-focused stats, and leans heavily towards healing and support magic.

Diana Lv. 80 Null Dark. Absorb Gun. Resist Fire. Weak to Electric. Salvation, Spirit Surge (Lv82), Absorb Wind (Lv85) “An ancient goddess of the hunt, Diana has been resurrected by modern day practicioners of matriarchal religion as a symbol of feminine power.

Druantia Lv. 59 Resist Wind. Weak to Fire. Diarahan, Sexy Gaze (Lv61), Life Gain (Lv64) “In Neopaganism, a goddess of eternal fertility and passion. She influences human creativity and wisdom, and her protection extends to the trees.”

Wadjet Lv. 45 Resist Wind. Weak to Light. Mediarama, Me Patra, Charmdi (Lv46), Recarm (Lv48) “Originally a guardian of Egyptian pharaohs and mothers in childbirth, Wadjet has been adopted by modern matriarchal religion as a protector of women.”

Corn Mother Lv. 27 Resist Dark. Weak to Fire. Diarama, Makakaja, Me Patra (Lv28), Mediarama (Lv30), Spring of Life (Lv32) “Created as a home for the spirits that live in corn, the Corn Mother ensures the next harvest will always come again. It’s thought that the root of this belief may lay in the ancient Greek practice of creating Eidolons.”

Lady Family The Lady family is the second of the exclusively female demon families. These mythological figures fit the Crone mold set down by religions like Neopaganism and Wicca. Ladies tend to be powerfully offensive on the magic side, with access to multiple elemental attacks. Their focus on offense gives them very high Magic stats, but very low HP.

Madonna Oriente Lv. 75 Null Dark. Absorb Ice. Resist Wind. Weak to Fire. Magic Charge, Megidolaon (Lv77), Refridgerate (Lv80), Panta Rhei (Lv81) “A figure wrapped in mystery, from a tale told by heretics in the midst of torture.

Hyldemoer Lv. 57 Resist Wind and Electric. Weak to Physical. Zandyne, Blight (Lv58) “An elder tree goddess and protector of the forest, her name means ‘Elder Mother’. Woodsmen were said to need to ask permission from the Hyldemoer before taking the wood of an old tree, or risk terrible fortune.”

Bell Witch Lv. 46 Resist Electric and Physical. Weak to Wind. Maragion, Mabufula, Mamudo (Lv47) “A very potent poltergeist from 19th-century Tennessee, the Bell Witch is said to have hounded a married man and his family to death. Supposedly, the man had wronged her somehow, though the exact crime varies from telling to telling.”

Mother Carey Lv. 39 Resist Gun. Bufula, Mazionga, Mazanma (Lv41) “The wife of Davey Jones, sailors see her as a vicious and dangerous sea spirit. It’s possible she wasn’t always so cruel, as Mother Carey is also known as the Angel of Wild Things, and her name may be derived from the Latin meaning ‘Precious Mother’.”

Black Annis Lv. 26 Resist Dark. Weak to Gun. Axel Claw, Dream Fist (Lv27), Bufula (Lv28) “A vicious boogeyman from England, Black Annis is said to have a strong hunger for the flesh of children. This figure may be a distant memory of an actual person, distorted by time and religious prejudice.”

Flying Girl Lv. 8 Resist Wind. Weak to Elec. Bufu, Liftoma, Mudo (Lv10), Mabufu (Lv12) “Sightings of young women flying through the air are often reported in eastern Europe. Some say they are young witches, while scientists liken them to UFO reports in western cultures.”

Fury Family Though typically a home for gods of war and struggle, the Fury family of this Compendium is dedicated to modern representations of rage. While this would normally be a powerful family, it turns out that raw anger is kind of out of style in the modern world. Most of these figures are seen as unattractive, even silly, which limits serious belief in them. That being said, Furies still have access to some strong skills and a high natural Strength, though it does come at the cost of the rest of their stats.

The Monster Lv. 60 Absorb Electric. Weak to Light. Mortal Jihad, Ziodyne, Maziodyne (Lv63), Null Elec (Lv66) “There are four kinds of anger. The Monster, sometimes called a Frankenstein, represents the final kind of anger, the helpless rage at one’s own inability to process the emotions and experiences of life.”

Werewolf Lv. 55 Resist Ice. Weak to Gun and Fire. Berserker God, Fang Breaker (Lv57), Madness Nails (Lv59) “There are four kinds of anger. The Werewolf represents the first kind, the hasty and sudden burst of rage. This kind of anger is shared by humans and animals.”

Vampire Lv. 45 Resist Dark. Weak to Fire and Light. Hell Thrust, Needle Shot, Charm Slap (Lv46), Energy Drain (Lv48) “There are four kinds of anger. The Vampire represents the third, called dispositional anger, where anger becomes an intrinsic part of your personality. This kind of anger manifests itself as sullenness, irritability, and irrational hatred of others.” Berserker Lv. 40 Resist Gun and Fire. Weak to Ice. Megaton Press, Power Charge, Cuff (Lv42), Javelin Rain (Lv44) “Soldiers who would work themselves up into a frenzy before a battle were called Berserkers. Today they represent rage with a purpose, anger as a tool.”

Touki Family On occasion, large population centers will see bouts of mass hysteria, periods of time where large numbers of people become convinced that some deranged monster lurks in the streets of their town. These events create dangerous, if imaginary, hooligans that prowl the streets at night, seeking out victims to exact their disturbing power fantasies upon. This family focuses on Strength and Endurance, using powerful physical attacks and status effects to entangle foes.

London Monster Lv. 78 Null Ailments. Resist Gun. Weak to Ice. Hades Blast, Grand Tack (lv80) “The subject of a four-year mass hysteria case in 18th century England, the London Monster was said to lure women before stabbing them in the face or buttocks.

Halifax Slasher Lv. 47 Weak to Ice. Damascus Claw, Mortal Jihad (Lv48), Bloody Glee (Lv49) “A mysterious figure responsible for a series of attacks in Halifax, England. Although Scotland Yard was called in to investigate, no trace of the Halifax Slasher was ever found.”

Whipping Tom Lv. 36 Resist Wind. Weak to Physical. Toxic Slam, Sukukaja, Megaton Press (Lv37), Javelin Rain (Lv38) “One of the earliest mass hysteria assault cases, Whipping Tom prowled the streets of 17th century England accosting women with a birch rod. Male vigilantes set out to catch him by wearing dresses and walking around alone at night.”

Mad Gasser Lv. 25 Resist Ailments. Weak to Wind. Poison Sting, Dream Fist, Poison Breath (Lv26), Toxic Slam (Lv28) “In the mid-1930s and 40s, several people reported attacks by a masked figure wielding an agricultural gas gun.

Brute Family A companion family to the Touki, the Brutes are made up of Cryptid-style ape men from around the world. This family focuses on physical attacks, but they have more support options than the Touki, as well as higher Endurance. Basically, if the Touki are born of human panic, the Brutes are born of the human awe of nature.

Bigfoot Lv. 64 Absorb Wind. Resist Ice. Weak to Fire Berserker God, Zandyne, Life Gain (Lv. 67), Life Surge (Lv. 75) “Sighted many times since the mid-19th century, belief in the Bigfoot may originate from widespread wildman stories found in many Native American cultures. Today, people all over the world look to Bigfoot as one of the central figures of cryptozoology.”

Yeti Lv. 52 Absorb Ice. Resist Wind. Weak to Fire. Bufula, Fang Breaker, Charmdi (Lv. 53), Endure (Lv. 57) “The classic Abominable Snowman, the Yeti is a totem of the Himalayas in a way few other creatures can be.

Weak to Fire Megaton Press, Toxic Slam, Poison Breath (Lv52) “A regional variant of the Skunk Ape, the Fouke Monster’s popularity more or less peaked in the 1970s, though sightings of the beast are occasionally reported even today.”

Dogman Lv. 6 Weak to Ailments and Physical. Resist Gun. Gram Slice, Makunda (Lv. 8) “The Dogman was more or less invented as an April Fool’s Day joke. However, the hoax was so well done that the creature leapt to national fame.”

Beast Family Another physically-focused group, the Beast family is made up of mythological creatures that closely resemble existing animals. These demons tend to be fairly weak, with very basic fusion requirements. Their stats have a slight bias towards Strength.

Phantom Cat Lv. 73 Resist Ice. Weak to Light.

Spirit Gain, Debilitate (Lv62), Agidyne (Lv64) “When people take photos of large groups of people, sometimes images of hideous monsters will form out of the distorted faces of people in the crowd.

They tend towards affinity for Endurance and Ice attacks, but this family is a fairly weak one overall.

Bloop Lv. 40 Resist Ice and Fire. Weak to Electric. Mabufula, Mediarama (Lv41), Life Bonus (Lv43) “When a mysterious sound recorded in the deepest parts of the ocean came to public attention, the collective unconscious of mankind came together to imagine a creature capable of creating it.

Fairy Family One of the weaker families, Fairies tend to be small, fast, and not particularly strong. Based in large part on the stories we all heard as children, the Fairy family is home to creatures like the Frog Prince and Jack Frost. This family tends towards magic use, but there’s a lot of variety here, not just in skills but in stats, too.

Peter Pan Lv. 88 Absorb Wind. Weak to Electric. Grand Tack, Life Surge (Lv89), Panta Rhei (Lv92) “An eternally young boy who was abducted from his parents by fairies, Peter’s careless and boastful behavior frequently brings him trouble.

Jirae Family A family deeply connected to the Earth, the Jirae family is home to demons that embody environmental and earth-bound fears. These demons tend to have balanced stats, and generally have no strong theme when it comes to skills or resistances. Because many of them are non-coporeal, mechanical, or abstract in nature, negotiating with these demons is often impossible.

Chemtrail Lv. 71 Null Light and Dark. Maziodyne, Magic Charge, Mazandyne (Lv73), Plasma (Lv76) “A man-made weather phenomenon that gave birth to a conspiracy theory. The belief is that the contrails created by the hot exhaust of airplanes meeting the cold high-altitude air is in fact a scheme by a secret society to introduce heavy metals into the environment.”

Night Family Humans have always feared the night, and modern man is no different. This family is home to demons that stalk the night, using Dark magic and Ailment skills to weaken and topple their foes.

Succubus Lv. 76 Absorb Electric and Fire. Weak to Light. Sexy Gaze, Ziodyne, Elec Amp (Lv77), Charming Bolt (Lv81) “Medieval man feared this spirit of the night, who would sit on the chests of men and suck out their souls.

Undead Family Throughout history, the Catholic faith has spawned myths that spoke to the faithful of their time, but many of these have been left behind as the church has grown. These stories survive today mostly on the fascination of the faithful, but belief in them has all but dried up. The Undead family continues on in spite of this, fueled by the retellings of people who only half believe them, all of which makes them strangely similar to the Rumor family. These demons tend to focus on support skills and Magic stats, with a strong affinity for the Light that originally spawned them.

Pope Joan Lv. 34 Reflect Light. Weak to Dark. Mediarama, Mutudi, Maragion (Lv36) “A woman who disguised herself as a monk, and rose through the ranks of the church. Her true gender was eventually discovered when she began giving birth while riding through the streets of Rome. The modern church describes this story as anti-papal satire.”

Julian of Norwich Lv. 24 Resist Light. Weak to Dark. Media, Diarama (Lv26), Me Patra (Lv28) “A Christian mystic of the 15th century. The church disapproved of her ideas that God was all-loving and without wrath, and that he was as much a mother as a father to humanity.”

Jovita Lv. 21 Resist Light. Weak to Ailments. Myriad Arrows, Tetraja (Lv22), Tarunda (Lv23), Recarm (Lv24) “A superhero-like saint who adventured with her brother, Faustinus.

Wilgefortis remained popular in Catholic mythology until the late 16th century, when the church abandoned her.”

Rumor Family A family based around popular urban legends, the Rumors are a group which defy categorization. They have no strong similarities in stats, and the only type of skills they all show an interest in is Ailments. Even then, some focus on straight up ailment-inducing skills, while others use physical attacks that cause ailments.

Devil Proctor Lv. 42 Resist Light. Weak to Ailments. Evil Smile, Spirit Bonus (Lv45), Ghastly Wail (Lv 48) “A complicated logo leaves itself open to interpretation. This company’s competitors used its ambiguous nature as evidence for a Satanic link, to try to gain market share. Believers today cite the protracted court battle as evidence that the company had something to hide.”

The Hook Lv. 33 Resist Wind. Weak to Physical. Damascus Claw, Regenerate (Lv34), Toxic Slam (Lv35) “When a young couple, alone in the darkness of a forest overlook, became frightened by a police report on the radio of an escaped convict, they quickly returned home. When they arrived, they found the convict’s prosthetic hook caught on the car door.”

Attic Bride Lv. 27 Resist Electric. Weak to Dark. Makajam, Rakunda, Hell Thrust (Lv30) “A young bride played hide and seek on her wedding day, but when no one found her, her body became trapped in the attic. Years later, she would be found completely mummified.”

Backseat Lv. 21 Weak to Light. Resist Dark. Poisma, Makunda, Damascus Claw (Lv23) “A trucker followed a car closely, flashing his high beams in the driver’s rear view mirror. Though it terrified the driver, he was only trying to warn her of the man who he could see creeping up on her from the back seat of her car.”

Licker Lv. 15 Weak to Physical. Resist Gun. Dormina, Sukunda, Life Drain (Lv17), Evil Smile (Lv20) “A young woman felt a tongue licking her hand in the night. Dismissing it as her dog, she went back to sleep. The next morning, she found her dog dead and a sinister note written on her mirror.”

Ignoring her mother’s advice, she scratched at it day after day. Eventually, it erupted with dozens of baby spiders.”

Enigma Family A family for the deranged, disposessed gods created by non-believers, the Enigmas are born of the strange anti-belief that comes from creating a myth without actually believing in it. These demons can only be created by Fusion Accident, but they tend to have extremely powerful and useful skills. The only underlying theme to their statistics is utter chaos.

Discordia Lv. 83 Resistances are randomly set when this demon is fused. Chaotic World “The Greek goddess of chaos and strife, adopted by adherants of Discordianism, an absurdist religion based around the idea that the difference between order and chaos is only significant to the human mind.”

Entity Family Creatures born of conspiracy and unease, the Entity family represents the fear and mistrust the modern population has for authorities of all kinds, from the government to science to religion. These figures are often indistinct and shadowy, which reflects the strange anti-logic that their sources run on. Like Enigmas, Entities are only available through Fusion Errors. Entities have no strong theme to their statistics, but their skills tend to focus on debuffs and status effects.

Shadow Government Lv. 78 Resist Light and Dark. Debilitate, Enduring Soul (Lv82), Victory Cry (Lv85) “One of the most popular conspiracies of modern times, many people believe in a sinister cabal that runs the governments of the world from the shadows.

Polybius Lv. 54 Repel Ailments. Weak to Electric Shibaboo, Tentarafoo, Debilitate (Lv56) “A video game that appeared mysteriously in 1981.

Some suspect that the game was part of a long-term CIA mind control project.”

Men in Black Lv. 50 Resist Ice. Weak to Electric. Mudo, War Cry, Tarunda (Lv51) “Mysterious figures who often appear to people who have just seen something inexplicable. Though they used to be associated only with UFO sightings, their recent appearances have been associated with far more esoteric things.”

Zealot Family Typically home to demons who have been thrown out of their respective pantheon, here the Zealot family is home to mythological figures born from synchretism, the act of combining often contradictory ideas from seperate religions or schools of thought. These demons are frequently rejected by both of the mythologies that gave them life, and so they exist in the middle ground between cultures where their believers survive.

Hecate Lv. 92 Null Fire, Ice, Wind, and Electric. Maiden’s Kiss, Crossroads (Lv94), Antichython (Lv96) “The Goddess of the Crossroads, the Mother of Angels, and the Cosmic World Soul.

Guerlichon Lv. 70 Absorb Fire and Electric. Weak to Wind and Dark. Hell Thrust, Invigorate (Lv72), Maralagidyne (Lv75) “An undeniably phallic saint, whose folk tradition dates to pre-Roman Gaul. Though Christian monks disapproved of the figure, it was so popular that they gradually transformed it into a saint.”

San Pascualito Lv. 67 Resist Ailments. Amrita, Mediarahan (Lv68), Samerecarm (Lv70) “A folk saint venerated in Guatemala and Mexico, he is called the King of the Graveyard.

Catacomb Saint Lv. 63 Resist Light. Weak to Dark. Hamaon, Mahamaon (Lv66), Hama Boost (Lv70) “When ancient Roman Christians wanted to find the relics of saints, they would dig into old catacombs. Psychics would search the bones of the dead for a golden glow, said to denote the remains of martyrs.”

Elemental Demons from the Elemental family can only be created by fusing two demons of the same family together. The resulting Elemental can then be fused to another demon, changing it into the next highest level demon in that family. Or, if they are incompatible, to the next *lower* level demon. Be careful how you fuse these demons.

Quintessos Lv. 22 Resist Light. Hama, Mahama, Hama Boost (Lv28) “An aether elemental, who holds none of the essences that comprise the other four elements. It represents the Greek concept of the fifth element.”

Prime Family High spirits who govern the elemental forces, these demons can greatly boost or decrease a demon’s level when fused. Much like the Elementals, Prime demons are formed by fusing two demons of the same family together. However, Primes require demons from the more powerful families, such as Heralds and Tyrants. Demons from this family tend to focus very strongly on one element and one stat.

Aether Lv. 38 Null Dark. Mudoon, Mudo Boost (Lv42), Mamudoon (Lv43) “Also known as Akmon, Aether represents the pure elements of the sky.

Mitama Family In Shinto philosophy, each person’s soul is actually made up of several separate souls, each with its own identity and purpose. By fusing these Mitama with other demons, Devil Summoners can intensify specific aspects of the resulting demon’s personality, resulting in useful and powerful stat boosts.

Futsu-no-Mitama Lv. 51 Absorb Physical and Gun. Weak to Dark. Luster Candy, Amrita (Lv55), Diarahan (Lv60) “Created by the combination of the four Shinto aspects of the soul. The Futsu-no-Mitama is the soul of a great sword, one of the national treasures of Japan.”

Fiend Family Rarest and deadliest of all demonic families, the Fiends are embodiments of death and the end of the world. These Fiends are based on the biblical book of Revelation, which many modern prophets of doom use to justify their calls to repentance and sacrifice. These demons are the apex of power and skill, and each one must be defeated before it can be fused.

Lion of Judah Lv. 100 Null Light and Dark. Absorb Physical and Gun. Resist Fire, Ice, Wind, and Electric.

He is an avenger, a protector, thoguh noted to be somewhat sloppy and terrifying to behold. He is married to the fair goddess Sif and with her gave birth to Móði, Magni, and Thrud.

For this Ao Guang gathered all four dragon kings and came after Nézhā's parents, who were only saved when Nézhā killed himself as sacrifice. Nézhā is later resurrected using lotus roots as a body by his master and becomes a rival to his father who is still angry at him for his past deeds, though his father later surrenders.

They rushed, and the six were born, and upon the seventh the king or queen had a dream they'd give birth to a son, however upon seeing his seventh daughter the king threw her away, naming her Bari, the thrown away one. She is adopted by an old couple in some versions. Later in life her parents are ill and can only be saved by water from the underworld, which their other daughters refuse to fetch, but Bari does not. The details change but she usually runs into a guardian of the underworld whom she weds and has seven children by (who sometimes become the stars of the Big Dipper).

Santa Claus

A modern mythology figure developed from bits and pieces of European history. He is ultimately based on a Christian saint, St. Nicholas, who as part of his worship was said to provide gifts to children. With the Christianization of Europe many traditions were assimilated, and the figures of Sinterklaas, Father Christmas, and Odin were woven into the modern image of Santa Claus, culminating in the poem "Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas", published in the New York Sentinel by an unknown author. This poem attributes much of Santa's modern traits including his fat belly, jolly nature, sleigh, and reindeer. In other countries his role is taken on by many figures such as Sinterklaas, Père Noël, Father Christmas, or the Christchild.

Pantheon: American Folklore, though he is also seen in some other places.
