Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Daily Demon vol. 43 – Tzitzimitl

With the release of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance drawing ever closer, another Daily Demon video has been released by Atlus to showcase one of the demons that will be in the game. Volume 43’s focus is Tzitzimitl.

The Vile demon Tzitzimitl is a new addition to Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. She first appeared in Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, and has had a few appearances in both the Megami Tensei and Persona series since then. The Megami Tensei Wiki has this to share about her origins:

A Tzitzimitl (or Tzitzimimeh in a group) is a female deity associated with stars in Aztec mythology. They were depicted as skeletal female figures wearing skirts often with skull and crossbone designs.

The Tzitzimimeh were associated with the stars and especially the stars that can be seen around the sun during a solar eclipse. This was interpreted as the Tzitzimimeh attacking the sun. The Tzitzimimeh had a double role in Aztec religion: they were protectresses of the feminine and progenitresses of mankind. But they were also powerful and dangerous, especially in periods of cosmic instability.
