Moloch is a Demon in the Megami Tensei franchise.

Profile

Origin

Molech,[a] also known as Moloch,[b] is apparently a Canaanite god mentioned in the Bible to whom children were sacrificed, though some scholarship believes that the name actually refers to the type of sacrifice rather than a deity.

Chemosh, which Moloch is called in Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner, is a Moabite deity mentioned in the Bible and attested in Moabite inscriptions. Chemosh's description in Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Akuma Zensho claims that he is sometimes identified with Moloch.

Shin Megami Tensei V A Canaanite god of fire.

Tradition states that a bronze statue of a human with the head of a female ox would be placed at the altar as its vessel. It is said that the statue would first be heated with fire, then children would be put inside as a sacrifice. The Bible mentions its name as a cruel pagan god.

Devil Summoner
(Akuma Zensho; PSP)
出身地:ヨルダン
死海の東岸に住んだモアブ人によって崇拝された太陽神。後にキリスト教によって悪しき存在におとしめられる。
ケモシはソロモン王の神殿にも祭られた神で、アンモン人の神モロクと同一視されることもある。アッカド人はこの神をシャマシュと呼んだ。
唯一神に対抗する1柱であったため、太陽神から「憎むべきもの」に落とされ、ついに悪しき存在になる。
後世の悪魔祓いの祈祷師らは人々にとりつく悪霊を、しばしばケモシの名で呼んだ。
Translation: Place of origin: Jordan
A sun god worshiped by the Moabites living on the eastern shore of the Dead Sea. Later, he was vilified into an evil being by Christianity.
Chemosh was a deity worshiped in the Temple of King Solomon, and he is sometimes identified with the Ammonite god Moloch. The Akkadians called this god Shamash.
Because he was in opposition to the One God, he was lowered from a sun god to "that which should be hated", and lastly became an evil being.
Later exorcists often called evil spirits possessing people by the name Chemosh.
Persona 5 A Caanite god of fire. A bronze statue of a man with a bull's head stands at his alter. The statue was heated and sacrificial children were thrown inside.

Shin Megami Tensei II

After Zayin detects a strange signal in Holytown, Aleph investigates the area and finds the massive tail of a demon sticking out of the ground. Residents of the district also describe being drained of energy and later have had all the power sapped from their bodies. In Roppongi, Aleph hears from the Mutant Elder that this tail most likely belongs to Moloch, who resides in the Expanse. He can be directly found by the Yesod-Yetzirah Corridor, and according to residents of the Expanse, Moloch is absorbing Magnetite to burn it as fuel. Later, Lucifer reveals that he had Moloch gather Magnetite on the orders of YHVH, in order to funnel that energy into Kuzuryu.
