Line 41:

* [[Alice Allusion]]

** The Shin Megami Tensei Alice shares many physical similarities with the character, most notably the blue dress and the blond hair. Also, her signature move "Die For Me!" seems to draw inspiration from the book. Furthermore, her Shin Megami Tensei: IMAGINE attack, "Mad Tea Party", takes further inspiration from the book as it references the chapter in which the protagonist met the Mad Hatter and March Hare.

** In ''[[Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey ~~(Video Game)~~|Strange Journey]]'', Alice desires to catch the Hare of Inaba in the Ex Mission "Catch That Rabbit". For extra points, it involves falling down several holes.

* [[Back From the Dead]]

* [[Bonus Boss]]

** In [[Shin Megami Tensei II]], Alice can be fought should Aleph manage to find a distinct gold chest in the factory near [[Beetlejuice ~~(Film)~~|Betelguese]]'s lair. Upon reaching the Gold Chest, Alice appears and asks Aleph whether she can keep the treasure. Should Aleph answer no, Alice attacks Aleph. Defeating her awards players with one of the [[Infinity+1 Sword|five strongest weapons]] of the game.

Defeating her awards players with one of the [[Infinity+1 Sword|five strongest weapons]] of the game.

** Alice appears as a secret demon in [[Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army]]. In order to summon her, Raidou Kuzunoha the XIV must first hear a rumor from the blond girl in the Shin-Sekai Soda Joint describing telephone booths around the capital. He then must check the public phone in Tsukudo-Cho near the shrine with a Belial in the party. Next, he must check the phone in Harumi-Cho with a Nebiros in the party. Finally, with both demons in party, Raidou must answer the phone in Ginza-Cho, which will call Alice up from Hell. If Raidou defeats her, he can then summon her by fusing Raja Naga and Jack Frost.

** Alice appears as a Case File boss for the Chaos-Alignment exclusive "One Girl's Happiness" case in [[Raidou Kuzunoha VS King Abaddon]]. First, Raidou must complete the two "My Wish" cases. Later, a request from "[[Ars Goetia|Uncle Red and Uncle Black]]" will appear in the Case Files section. They have lost Alice and come to Raidou for help finding her. Raidou must then speak to two girls by the Tamoten Shrine in Tsukudo-Cho. According to them, there's a rumor that a blue-eyed foreign girl lingers in the back stall of a bathroom in their school. The girl will ask a person if they will be her friend, and if somebody agrees then she will kill them. The girl who explains the rumor reveals that she said no and that the girl is still haunting her. Alice will then appear and pose the same question to Raidou. [[But Thou Must!|Regardless of the answer]], a battle will initiate.

** Alice can be summoned in ''[[~~Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey (Video Game)|~~Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey]]'' after the MC finishes the Ex-Mission "Catch that Rabbit" in Sector Fornax and after reaching Level 39 with the Fiend Converter. Originally, she posts the mission herself to ensure the capture of the "rabbit", upon which the MC pursues the rabbit across several holes until cornered. Once this happens, Alice, if allowed, will begin [[Kick the Dog|brutalizing the rabbit]] until stopped by the protagonist and confronted. Upon defeat, she will fade away.

** In ''[[~~Devil Survivor 2 (Video Game)|~~Devil Survivor 2]]'' she is the ultimate boss who can only be fought during a [[New Game+]] and once all other bonus bosses have been defeated. {{spoiler|She is also accompaned by Belial and Nebiros in the fight.}}

** In ''[[Devil Survivor 2]]'' she is the ultimate boss who can only be fought during a [[New Game+]] and once all other bonus bosses have been defeated. {{spoiler|She is also accompaned by Belial and Nebiros in the fight.}}

** During the Snow Queen Quest in [[P 1 P]], at Devil's Peak, Alice can be found as a boss-strength random encounter. She's level 99, strong to everything and has 999 HP. You can't run, negotiate, or recruit her. Beating her nets you quite the sum of XP. though.

* [[But Thou Must!]]: When the Protagonist confronts Alice in [[Shin Megami Tensei I]], she questions if the Protagonist would "die for her" and join the citizens of Roppongi. Should the Protagonist decline, he is forced to fight both Belial and Nebiros in separate battles. Alternatively, even should the Protagonist agree, he will not die, bemusing Alice and forcing them to fight both Belial and Nebiros.

* [[Came Back Wrong]]: ''Very'' much so. She was once just a normal human, you see. Now she spends her days befriending everyone who will take the time to chat with her for a while... before brutally having them killed [[Creepy Awesome|by Wonderland's soldiers and her obscenely overpowered magic]].

** The Hare of Inaba explains it best in Strange Journey: the Fiend you keep on fighting throughout the games is very likely not even the real Alice, but rather, her memory, born of the magics that rendered the original insane and very likely killed her. This is what caused the rather twisted form of reincarnation, as mentioned above. And the worst part? The demons gave her that magic because they loved her. [[Tear Jerker|They wanted her to be forever young]], forever happy. Talk about [[Hoist By His Own Petard]]...

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Could you die for me, please?" which is the origin of her [[Signature Move]] "Die For Me!".

* [[Composite Character]]: While the Lewis Carroll references are abundant, there's also a Scandinavian myth of a girl named Alice that died when she was young, became a spirit, and was driven insane from her extreme magical power. The myth was used to scare children into behaving, or else Alice would kill them at night so that she could be "friends" with them. Her actions in the first ''[[Shin Megami Tensei I|Shin Megami Tensei]]'' are an allusion to this myth, and her compendium entry in ''[[Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey ~~(Video Game)~~|Strange Journey]]'' seem to suggest that she could be a reference to one or the other.

Line 66:

* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: Becoming her "friend"...

* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: She looks like a little girl. Doesn't mean she ''is'', though.

* [[Life Drain]]: In ''[[~~Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey (Video Game)|~~Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey]]'', Life Drain was one of her starter attacks. Then, in ''[[Devil Survivor 2]]'', she has Vitality Drain, which allows her to siphon HP from nearby enemies. And ''[[Signature Move|Die For Me!]]'' now works like this - except it now devours all of her opponents' HP and MP!

* [[Yandere]]: If you value your life, have no compunctions about destroying her. [[Fate Worse Than Death|The results of failing to do so have already been amply exposed]]. On the other hand, be ready to deal with Belial and Nebiros if you do. The results of failing to do so are even worse. {{spoiler|Except in [[~~Devil Survivor 2 (Video Game)|~~Devil Survivor 2]] where they leave after her death.}}

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Ishtar

* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: In [[Raidou Kuzunoha VS King Abaddon]], Astaroth first appears after you defeat Inugami at Dark Tsukudo-cho mentioning he would like to challenge you to a battle in the future. In the Law and Neutral alignment Astaroth challenges you a battle near the end of the game, while he'll simply join you if your alignment is Chaos. If your alignment is Neutral or Chaos you will be able to fuse him after his second appearance.

Line 123:

** Beelzebub appears as an optional boss in [[Digital Devil Saga]]: Avatar Tuner. Unlike other optional bosses, the party is required to fight him twice before killing him for good. Defeating Beelzebub's fly-form will grant the ammo Magatama and the item "Tyrant's Skull", which unlocks the High Priest Mantra, granting the access to several of Beelzebub's skillsets. Players will also net the Karma Ring which protects the wearer from Dark-based attacks, which can be [[Old Save Bonus|equipped in the sequel]].

** [[Shin Megami Tensei II]]: Beelzebub appears in Castle Kether in the Abyss. He is a voluntary challenge; if you walk into his chamber, he will challenge you and you may decline and even come back later. You don't need to fight him to complete the game - he can be skipped entirely.

** [[Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne ~~(Video Game)~~|Nocturne]]: Beelzebub appears only in the updated release and only if Hito-Shura accepts the old man's request of retrieving all of the stolen Candelabra, Hito-Shura can face Beelzebub in the Fourth Kalpa of the Labyrinth of Amala, in Hell's Hall.

** [[Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne|Nocturne]]: Beelzebub appears only in the updated release and only if Hito-Shura accepts the old man's request of retrieving all of the stolen Candelabra, Hito-Shura can face Beelzebub in the Fourth Kalpa of the Labyrinth of Amala, in Hell's Hall.

** Beelzebub appears as the ultimate boss and highest level summonable demon in the game in [[Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army]]. He must be defeated at the lowest level of the Training Hall. The player must save at the last save point in the game and return to the Training Hall. A voice will speak to Raidou when he enters the northern section of the bottom floor. Then Raidou must collect 3 special items to prove his worth to Beelzebub. These items are obtained by fighting 3 Hyakki-Yakkkou battles (Battles where 100 demons attack) at certain moon phases in certain sections of different floors. (A Kudan will hint at their location a phase or two before the battle's set phase) Then Raidou can fight Beelzebub in the same spot where he heard the voice, but he must beat some Ukobach and Nebiros before Beelzebub will appear.

* {{spoiler|[[Cute Shotaro Boy]]: Takajo Zett}}

Line 145:

* [[Fusion Dance]]: If Bael is in your company in Megami Tensei II, upon defeat Bael will attempt to union with Beelzebub (presumably this is accomplished by Bael the toad somehow eating Beelzebub the fly - as toads will do.) If this is allowed to happen, Majin Baal will emerge from the two and gladly join the ranks of your digital devil horde.

* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]: Takajo Zett sides with Setsuna Kai against Beelzebub near the end of Devil Children Red/Black.}}

* [[Number of the Beast]]: Beelzebub (human form) in ''[[~~Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne (Video Game)|~~Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne]]'' has 666 HP.

* [[Literal Split Personality]]: {{spoiler|Takajo Zett.}}

* [[One-Hit Kill]]: Beelzebub, at least from ''Nocturne'' and onwards, has ''Death Flies'', an Almighty-elemental spell that deals plenty of damage and has 100% chance of instantly killing anything that doesn't nullify or repel Curse-elemental spells. The good news is that you may acquire said skill in the Digital Devil Saga series.

Line 152:

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: In Beelzebub form

* [[Signature Move]]: "Death Flies"

* [[Spawn Broodling]]: Beelzebub in [[~~Devil Survivor (Video Game)|~~Devil Survivor]] can implant his fly eggs in you, which hatch a turn later, and [[Flunky Boss|join in]].

* [[Four-Star Badass]]: Nebiros ''is'' the General of Hell.

* [[Has Two Mommies|Has Two "Uncles"]]: They both raised and cared for Alice.

* [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]]: Belial does this to Haru in [[Devil Survivor]].

* [[Light'Em Up]]: Nebiros.

* [[Love Makes You Crazy]]: In [[Shin Megami Tensei I]], they admit they are holding Alice sort-of alive against God's wishes; they also indicate her soul may have been bound for Heaven, but considering the [[God Is Evil|local]] [[Complete Monster|version]] [[Knight Templar|of]] [[God]], they may have a very good reason for keeping her in that state.

Line 180:

* [[Papa Wolf]]: Mess with Alice and you ''will'' feel their wrath.

* [[Perverse Puppet]]: Nebiros uses a puppet whenever he fights.

* [[Playing ~~With~~ Fire]]: Belial.

* [[Playing with Fire]]: Belial.

* [[Prongs of Poseidon]]: Belial.

* [[Rage Against the Heavens]]: According to [[Raidou Kuzunoha VS King Abaddon]], they have adored Alice since she was just a normal girl. It's her sudden death that makes them call God a heartless bastard, since Alice surely would like to enjoy life more.

Line 190:

=== Cerberus ===

Cerberus is one amongst the earliest of demon allies to appear as part of the Megami Tensei franchise. His roots put him as far back as the very first [[Digital Devil Story ~~(Literature)~~|Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei]] publications.

Cerberus is one amongst the earliest of demon allies to appear as part of the Megami Tensei franchise. His roots put him as far back as the very first [[Digital Devil Story|Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei]] publications.

* [[Bragging Rights Reward]]: In ''[[~~Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne (Video Game)|~~Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne]]'', Cerberus first appears at the Burial Chamber in the Amala Labyrinth's First Kalpa, where it will challenge Hito-Shura to prove his worth as a demon by quickly vanquishing once more those that he has once killed in the Vortex World using the Black Visor. After meeting all the requirements and starting a new cycle, meeting with Cerberus again in the same location will have him take Hito-Shura to his master's resting place instead at the Tomb of Yomi in the hidden 666th floor, where Hito-Shura will receive an extra Press Turn.

* [[Crutch Character]]:

** [[Shin Megami Tensei I]]: Because of Pascal's former loyalty towards his master passed on to him by the fusion, Kerberos can be used even when his level far surpasses that of the Hero--something that generally is impossible. He aids him in only one battle however, disappearing through a teleporter after a boss fight. He later rejoins in Tokyo Destiny Land provided you give him a Golden Apple.

Line 198:

* [[Dummied Out]]: Using a debug code in [[Persona 3]] will allow you access to another Cerberus Persona that knows Great Seal and some Fusion Spells. (Using Great Seal will freeze up the game) When summoned, the white, single-headed lion-esque version appears, suggesting that it's the likeness that may have been planned for official use in the game but later altered, being used instead as a base to create the Beast series shadow.

* [[Fusion Dance]]: The result of one in [[Shin Megami Tensei I]].

* [[Playing ~~With~~ Fire]]

* [[Playing with Fire]]

* [[Shout-Out]] / [[Mythology Gag]]: Cerberus takes you to his master's grave in the land of Yomi in ''Nocturne''. This is a reference to Akemi Nakajima who is also the reincarnation of Izanagi.

* [[Tragic Monster]]: {{spoiler|in [[Digital Devil Saga]] 1, as a result of Lupa not eating flesh when needed to.}}

* [[You Don't Look Like You]]/[[Mythology Gag]]: He typically appears as a white dog with a lion-like mane, unlike the Cerberus of Greek mythology. However, the Atma Avatar of Lupa and Koromaru's Persona are three-headed. The reason why Cerberus is usually portrayed with one head is not because of graphical limitations (somewhat) but because that's how he was portrayed in the original ''[[~~Digital Devil Story (Literature)|~~Digital Devil Story]]'' novel.

=== [[Louis Cypher]]/Lucifer ===

Line 334:

Lucifer, otherwise known as [[Louis Cypher]], appears first in ''[[Shin Megami Tensei I]]'' and then in the second and third games of the main series. Appearing for the first time [[Man of Wealth and Taste|in a suit]] and giving you cryptic and often misleading information, he shows his true colours when you get the Chaos path ending, appearing as a blonde man with horns and wings swathed in white robes. Just don't confuse him with [[Satan]], who actually works for [[God|YHVH]].

In ''[[Shin Megami Tensei II]]'', Lucifer again takes the form of Louis Cypher, in order to convince you to follow the Chaos path. [[Multiple Endings|If you chose the Law and Neutral Paths you will face him in battle]], [[Optional Party Member|but in the Chaos path]] he will join your party [[Enemy Mine|in order to stop Satan and YHVH]]. According to dialogue, he was ordered by YHVH to cause [[The End of the World As We Know It|The Great Destruction with Kuzuryu]], [[That's No Moon|the nine-headed dragon that makes up the mountains of Makai]], but [[Turned Against Their Masters|Lucifer plans to use Kuzuryuu against YHVH instead]]. If Aleph's alignment is neutral, and he defeats Lucifer without the aid of Satan, Lucifer will warn Aleph that Kuzuryu must be defeated as well since it will go berserk without him to control it.

In ''[[~~Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne (Video Game)|~~Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne]]'', he appears in two forms, that of a young blonde-haired boy and an old man in a wheelchair, in both forms accompanied by a nurse in black, who changes ages with him albeit oppositely. When he is young she is old and vice-versa. He is in some way responsible for setting in motion the events of the game by giving Hito-Shura his first Magatama, allowing him to live in the Vortex World. If the optional dungeon in Nocturne is traversed, [[Xanatos Gambit|it is also revealed that he was the one to give candelebra to the Fiends]], in order to train Hito-Shura to a level of strength where Hito-Shura is able to beat Lucifer himself and lead a second Rebellion.

In [[Raidou Kuzunoha VS King Abaddon]], Louis makes an appearance in the Tamonten Shrine as a "blonde young man" who appears to serve as a "spark" for Raidou and his actions. He is also referred to as Beelzebub, according to the Mushibito race due to the fact that they see him as a fly, not as a human.

Line 342:

After you get the "Chaos" ending and start a New Game Plus+ file, Raidou can take case files involving Louis and end up discovering his true identity while also battling his Lucifer form. Raidou can also use a Skill demon to transform as Louis, whose special ability is to gain money from talking to demons in the Dark Realm.

In ''[[~~Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey (Video Game)|~~Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey]]'', Louis Cypher [[Gender Flip|appears]] as a "blonde woman" in a blue dress, using the name "Louisa Ferre". She wears a goat's head hairclip.

* [[Badass]]: Not only is the only demonic being who can actually be a serious challenge to YHVH, he's often the [[Bonus Boss]] of many games just to prove this. Often times, like ion ''[[~~Devil Survivor (Video Game)|~~Devil Survivor]]'', he was merely testing you [[For the Lulz]].

* [[Batman Gambit]]: He's a master of these, often reaching [[Xanatos Gambit|Xanatos]]-levels of danger. Want proof? {{spoiler|In ''Nocturne'', it literally didn't matter what the Hito-Shura did with the power of the Magatama. All he wanted was the combat data. Once the product was considered workable, it only was a matter of finding a willing accomplice. Passing the trials of the True Demon Path was the guarantee he needed to test the power of his new friend...}}

Line 353:

* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Louis Cypher is believed to take his act from all-time world famous recording artist/performer [[David Bowie]]. Some believe he is an amalgamation of Bowie's real life and stage personae; and Louis' mismatched eyes parallel Bowie's own ocular disfigurement; wherein one eye is permanently dilated leaving what is left of the originally blue iris reddish in hue.

* [[Evil Plan]]: Played with. The man's a certified bastard, but his plans revolve around ''saving'' Humanity. And the [[God|other guy]] happens ''not'' to be particularly pleasant. On the other hand, the ultimate consequences of his plan would end in a chaotic, lawless world where not only [[Everything Is Trying to Kill You]], but the [[Crapsack World|crapsackiness]] is written in stone in the very foundations of reality.

* [[A Form You Are Comfortable With]]: Revealed in [[Raidou Kuzunoha VS King Abaddon]] that while Louis Cyphre look like young man to Raidou, the insect-like Mushibito see him as a giant fly "Belzeboo".

* [[Gender Flip]]: In ''[[~~Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey (Video Game)|~~Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey]]''

* [[Gender Flip]]: In ''[[Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey]]''

* [[God and Satan Are Both Jerks|God And Lucifer Are Both Jerks]]: He's ''very'' good at making himself look good, especially given he wants to save humanity from the more blatantly evil Law side. However, in true [[Draco in Leather Pants]] fashion, some people will conveniently forget some of his less savory goals. YHVH might be a vicious, amoral tyrant... but Lucifer is a ''very'' vicious manipulator and in the pursuit of his goals ''there is no line he won't cross''.

* {{spoiler|[[Interspecies Romance]]: With Setsuna Kai's mother in Devil Children.}}

Line 364:

* [[Satan Is Good|Lucifer Is Good]]: At least in the second game, where, even if he is manipulating Aleph, he really does care about all of humanity, not just those who decide to worship him, and will blatantly help you in the Chaos path, and leave you the info on how to do the same with his dying words in the Neutral path.

** {{spoiler|Lucifer is the [[Big Good]] of the Devil Children series. Or at the very least of the first few games. Where he desires to bring peace to the human and demon worlds. Only doing evil while under the control of [[Big Bad|Beelzebub]].}}

** On the other hand, {{spoiler|he gets ''way'' too much positive publicity, given his ultimate plans since ''[[Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne ~~(Video Game)~~|Nocturne]]'' involve levels of death and chaos normally unseen out of [[Warhammer 40000]] - a Universe ''ruled by Chaos?

** In [[Raidou Kuzunoha VS King Abaddon]] which came out before Strange Journey that Mara's compendium info states that he/she used to be a Goddess.

* [[Optional Party Member]]: She appears in Sector Grus after reaching a certain part of Sector Horologium. In the Chaos path, she hires the Protagonist to assault a gathering of angels and disrupt the ritual they were carrying out. Despite the attack, [[You Can't Thwart Stage One|the angels finish the fusion ritual and combine themselves to form Seraph]], forcing the protagonist into a fight. After Seraph's demise, Mara will arrive, regretting she did not participate in the death of the Seraph, and can join the Protagonist's party. Fulfilling her request also yields the right to summon her through fusion and the Peacemaker, [[Infinity+1 Sword|the most devastating]] [[Revolvers Are Just Better|gun of the game]].

** Should the Hito-Shura choose to ignore Metatron's warnings in ''[[Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne ~~(Video Game)~~|Nocturne]]'', Metatron will stand in the Hito-Shura's path in the final Kalpa, forbidding him to meet up with Lucifer. Enraged, Metatron chastises the Hito-Shura for disregarding his warnings, then proceeds to attack the Hito-Shura, hoping to kill him before he loses the last vestiges of his humanity. After Metatron is defeated, the Hito-Shura can summon him in the Heretic Mansion. Metatron can only be summoned by fusing Michael, any other Divine or Seraph demon, and a Tyrant demon sacrifice.
