| Reason: List off all of the archetypes and which demons they represent |
Demon symbols appear as clusters of blue, semitransparent cubes. There exist several different types of demon symbols, with each vaguely representing the demons the player will encounter should they choose to battle.
Shin Megami Tensei V
Demon symbols directly represent which demons the player will encounter once battle begins. Some demons, such as Oyamatsumi, appear much larger than others. Demons that are of significantly lower level than the Nahobino will run away when approached.
Persona 3 / Persona 3 FES / Persona 3 Portable / Persona 3 Reload
Demon symbols represent the Shadows that roam Tartarus. Most encounters appear as an amorphous blob with arms, while Wealth Hands have a gold coloration. Guardians physically appear on floors which they occupy, although they will stand still until the player approaches them.

If the demon takes notice of your attack, then the initiative will be decided by chance. Battles will often play out in your favor if you gain the initiative, so remember to strike first."
