Tao is a Demon in Shin Megami Tensei V.

Profile

Design

Tao has two forms. Her primary form resembles Tao Isonokami, her former self. Her secondary form is the true appearance of the Goddess of Creation, and has a blue and white body with a set of horns and wings. The Goddess of Creation form only appears in cutscenes.

Gameplay

Shin Megami Tensei V

Tao can be registered in the Demon Compendium, but she cannot be fused or summoned (if playing in New Game+). She automatically joins the Nahobino's stock after arriving at Ueno if there is an open demon slot.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance

Unlike in Shin Megami Tensei V, Tao is able to be summoned from the Demon Compendium after beating the game. Prior to her story related appearance, she is able to be summoned and dismissed just like any other demon, but she cannot be fused. After selecting a New Game Plus option, the player is given the chance to register her data in the Demon Compendium. She automatically joins the Nahobino's stock after arriving at Ueno if there is an open demon slot, and after this point she cannot be dismissed.

Stats listed are for Tao in the Canon of Vengeance route. They may vary from her Canon of Creation appearance.

Shin Megami Tensei V	Once cherished as the Saint of Bethel, Tao Isonokami was forced to watch helplessly as a close friend perished before her eyes. At that moment, the voice of a higher being spoke unto her, awakening the goddess within. Even after her divine transfiguration, she appears to have retained her memories. However, she has cast off her former personality, and no longer acts as she once did as a human.
