Shin Megami Tensei IV
|
One of the 72 demons of the Goetia, he was a cherub before his fall from grace. He has three heads: a bull, a man, and a sheep. His legs are like that of a chicken, his tail is a venemous snake, and his wings are hideous. In his hands he holds a battle flag and a spear, and he rides a dragon, spitting flames from his mouth. If the conjurer approaches him with respect, he will obey and give rings, as well as teach astronomy and geometry. Later literature ties him to the sin of lust.

Trivia
- Unique among bosses in Shin Megami Tensei IV, Asmodeus does not nullify the Expel element; he is merely resistant to it. This makes Asmodeus the only boss in the game who is susceptible to instant kill attacks.
