Krishna is a Demon in the Megami Tensei franchise.

Profile

Origin

In Hinduism, Krishna is the eighth avatar of Vishnu, the god of preservation. Some Hindu traditions worship Krishna himself as the Supreme Being in his own right.

Design

This section is a stub. You can help Megami Tensei Wiki by expanding it.
Reason: dds appearance

Krishna's design in Shin Megami Tensei if... is the same as Vishnu's from Shin Megami Tensei.

In Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, Krishna possesses a human-like[2] appearance, having brown skin, short blue hair, and light gray eyes. On his forehead is a bindi,[a] though it is partially obscured by his feathered hat. In addition to the hat, he wears a western-styled[3] outfit: a turquoise blazer embellished with circles near the sleeves and beneath the lapels, an orange dress shirt with its undone collar giving way to a darker cravat, and brown shorts paired with knee-high boots. He holds a golden flute decorated with a red tassel and blue jewel in his hands.

The decision to lean into the human appearance was done to reflect Krishna's motives, making him someone who appears to meet humanity halfway instead of being an all-powerful god.[4] This extends to his voice direction, as he lacks the typical distortion applied to the voices of gods and demons.[5]
