Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance daily demon vol. 48 – Nekomata

Atlus is once again showing off the demons in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, and today’s update features Nekomata. While its design has been updated over the years, it’s made tons of appearances going back to Megami Tensei II.

For those interested in the background behind Nekomata, check out the following description from the Shin Megami Tensei Wiki:

In Japanese folklore, a nekomata, also known as a bakeneko, is a type of yokai that appears as a cat with supernatural abilities akin to those of the fox or raccoon dog. A cat may become a bakeneko in a number of ways: it may reach a certain age, be kept for a certain number of years, grow to a certain size or be allowed to keep a long tail. In the last case, the tail forks in two and the bakeneko is then called a nekomata. This superstition may have some connection to the breeding of the Japanese Bobtail.
