Barong is a Demon in the Megami Tensei franchise.

Profile

Origin

Barong is a being in Balinese culture, the king of spirits who represents the forces of good, and eternal enemy of Rangda, the demon queen.

Barong can be depicted as many different animals. His most common depiction is of a lion-like being (Barong Ket), though he can also be shown as a boar (Barong Bangkai), an elephant (Barong Gajah) or a tiger (Barong Macan), among others.

The traditional Barong Dance symbolizes the eternal fight between good and evil, generally ending in the Keris Dance. In it, men try to fight Rangda with daggers, but are all driven to attempt suicide after falling into a trance due to Rangda's magic. The men are saved when Barong casts a protective spell, shielding the men from the sharp daggers, leading Rangda to flee. The Barong Dance itself can often be part of the wider Calon Arang dance-drama.
