Baal Berith, known as Belberith in Devil Survivor, is a Demon in the Megami Tensei franchise.

Profile

Origin

Baal Berith (meaning "lord of the covenant"), according to the Book of Judges in the Bible, was a deity worshiped in the city of Shechem. He is likely the namesake of the spirit Berith in the Ars Goetia.

Design

Belberith's design from Devil Survivor is a large purple mass that features the head of Bael from Shin Megami Tensei II; a cat head, toad head, and spider legs, referencing Bael's design from Shin Megami Tensei; the head and torso of Belphegor from Shin Megami Tensei II; and the head of Baal from Shin Megami Tensei II. A new bald man's head is between the cat and toad heads that does not appear to reference any pre-existing design.

According to Kazuma Kaneko Works IX, the presence of parts of other demon's designs is because Belberith has absorbed those demons.

Devil Survivor 2	One of the 72 demons of the Goetia and the duke of Hell. Said to be derived from Baal-Berith or Baalberith, a god of the Canaanite city mentioned in the Old Testament, later known as a demon in Christianity. According to Sebastien Michaelis, Baalberith tempts men to blasphemy and is an adversary to St. Barnabus.[sic] Before his fall from grace, he was prince of the cherubim.Unused

Game Appearances

Giten Megami Tensei: Tokyo Revelation

Baal Berith rules over at Ueno at the Ueno Shrine, Ayato Katsuragi goes there since he heard that people that goes to Ueno dissapears and never comes back. And once he reaches the top floor of the shrine he finds Baal Berith and tells Katsuragi that Bael has already moved to Shinjuku and so he starts a fight.

Once he's defeated Baal Berith, on his last breath, casts a warp spell to Katsuragi and his companion Sanshiro Soma and separates them in the basement of the shrine.
