Mother Harlot

Mother Harlot is a Demon in the Megami Tensei franchise.

Profile

Origin

Mother Harlot, also called the Whore of Babylon or the Great Whore, is a female figure in the New Testament's Book of Revelation as the mother of evil who will appear before the apocalypse. She rides a beast of seven heads and ten horns, but is ultimately doomed to meet her own end by it.

Design

Mother Harlot appears as a skeletal woman wearing a red veil and a short dress with a red trim around her breasts and shoulders, with the rest of it being purple. She has purple gloves and ankle bracelets, tightened around her ankles by black bands that have a skull crest on them with her feet exposed showing she has red painted toenails. She holds a gold jewel-encrusted chalice in her right hand with fog coming out of it.

The beast she rides in red with the pattern of black playing-card diamonds all over its body. True to its origin, the beast has seven heads, the upper three having two horns while the lower four have one, for a total of ten. Each head is wearing a crown, and has a snout somewhat resembling a pig's, sharp teeth with noticeably longer molars, and graying hair. It ends with a tail that resembles that of a dragon's, having a tail end that looks like a paintbrush.
