Shin Megami Tensei V daily demon vol. 145 – Jatayu

We have another new demon trailer for Shin Megami Tensei V, this time showing off Jatayu. It first appeared in the original Shin Megami Tensei.

The Megami Tensei Wiki has some extra background information on Jatayu. Continue on below to read a bit more about the demon.

Jatayu is a valiant bird in the legends that depicted it. In the Hindu epic Ramayana, Jatayu is an old friend of Rama. It attempted to rescue Rama’s wife Sita after she was kidnapped by Ravana, the devil-king. A fierce battle ensued, but Ravana managed to defeat Jatayu by slashing its wings. In a Malay literature, Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa, Jatayu is the nephew of the giant bird Garuda. It was summoned by King Merong Mahawangsa, a friend of the prince of Rome, to rescue the prince’s betrothed, a Chinese princess who was kidnapped by Garuda. Despite its determination, Garuda managed to overpower Jatayu.
