Profile

Origin

Forneus is one of the Great Marquises of Hell appearing in The Lesser Key of Solomon, with twenty-nine legions of demons under his command. Often depicted as a great sea monster, he would teach men rhetoric and language to give them a good name and make them become loved.

Design

In its Shin Megami Tensei design, Forneus appears as a manta ray-like demon. It has a flat, ray-like body with a blue back and a light gray underside. It has yellow, pupilless eyes, and a fanged maw. It has a set of four gills on both sides of its torso. Its tail is tapered, with small ridges leading to a set of small fins near its tip.

In its design revision for the PlayStation release of Shin Megami Tensei, Forneus again appears with a ray-like body, but with several human features. The outline of a human body can now be seen on its back, appearing like the body is beneath its skin. The human head has turquoise eyes and black horns, and wears a small crown. Forneus's back is now dark gray, and has numerous darker spots. In addition, Forneus's ray head now has blue eyes with slit pupils, and its tail is thinner.
