Atlus has released the latest daily demon video for Shin Megami Tensei V. Today’s featured daily demon is Bugs, sometimes called Bugbear, a demon that has appeared multiple times in the franchise since Megami Tensei II.
We have its overview trailer with the video below, along with some more details on its history.
Here is a brief lore description of Bugs (or Bugbear) in Shin Megami Tensei V from the Megami Tensei Wiki:
Bugbear, or simply Bugs, is a type of Hobgoblin that is comparable to the Boogeyman (Bugaboo) in folklore. In lore, the Bugbear was depicted as a creepy bear that lurked in the woods to scare children. Bugbear was used to frighten children into behaving or obeying their parents.
Its name is derived from the Celtic word bug which means “evil spirit” or “goblin.”
While previously in Megami Tensei II it was a demon of the Jaki race, for Shin Megami Tensei V, Bugs or Bugbear will be a member of the Wilder demon race.
Shin Megami Tensei V is scheduled to be released on Switch on November 12. You can find both earlier coverage of Shin Megami Tensei V as well as all previous daily demon videos in Nintendo Everything’s archive for the title here.
