To use this page type's boilerplate, select "Demon" under "Content". This page type also extends to Personas and Shadows.

  • Profile — Profile is divided into two subsections:
    • Origin — The Origin section covers the cultural, historical, and/or folklore origins that the demon is based on or inspired by.
    • Design — The Design section details the demon's portrayal as depicted in the Megami Tensei franchise and media, including their physical appearance, personality, beliefs, and other such qualities pertaining to them. This section can also include any developer design notes.
  • Gameplay — The Gameplay section covers the demon's statistics by game, including their base level, stats, skill learnsets, attribute weaknesses and resistances, where they are found or how to obtain, evolutions, and other such relevant gameplay information. Otherwise, if the demon has only appeared in non-game media, omit this section.
The Gameplay section should always precede the Appearances sections, so that readers can quickly find gameplay information without having to scroll through potentially spoilery information below. Verily though, there may be cases where gameplay information may itself be spoilery. In such an event, consult the Spoilers guidelines.
  • Compendium — The Compendium section documents the demon's in-game Demon Compendium entries or equivalent descriptions, using Template:Compendium. Game parameters in the template should be omitted if a demon does not appear in that game or has no entry in that. If the demon has no entries whatsoever, this section should be omitted.
If the section has more than five entries listed, the Compendium template must be made collapsed by adding the parameter collapse= with any value (such as "1" or "y").
Remasters and remakes of games are included in the Compendium template to cover new demons introduced in that release, or if a demon's entry differs between releases. If the entries are identical, do not use both parameters and instead delegate the entry to the original game.
  • Game Appearances — The Game Appearances section is only used if a demon has a significant role in a game outside of simply being a general enemy, such as playing a role in the game's story or as a quest-related NPC. As the Gameplay and Compendium sections already document a demon's gameplay information, the Game Appearances section should not be used for that purpose. If there are no significant story or quest appearances, omit this section. Otherwise, this section should be divided into subsections by game. If the demon only has a significant role in one game, it should still be given a subsection for clarity.
  • Audio Drama Appearances — If the demon has appeared in any audio dramas, this section covers that. Otherwise, omit this section if none.
  • Novel Appearances — If the demon has appeared in any novels or short stories, this section covers that. Otherwise, omit this section if none.
  • Anime Appearances — If the demon has appeared in any animated media, including televised anime series, movies, or OVAs, this section covers that. Otherwise, omit this section if none.
  • Manga Appearances — If the demon has appeared in any manga, this section covers that. Otherwise, omit this section if none.
  • Other Appearances — This section is reserved for any crossover or cameo appearances the demon has made outside of Megami Tensei media. This can include media appearances in Atlus's or Sega's other intellectual properties (such as Etrian Odyssey), or in media created by other companies (such as Nintendo's Super Smash Bros.). Otherwise, omit this section if none.
