Cait Sith

Cait Sith is a Demon in the Megami Tensei franchise.

Profile

Origin

Cat-sìth (plural cait-shìth) is a black cat said to haunt the Scottish Highlands. A cat-sìth is said to be able to steal a person's soul.

Design

Cait Sith resembles the Puss in Boots, a European fairy tale creature. The creature is typically depicted as a bipedal cat wearing a hat with a feather, a cape, a sword, and large boots. This look was popularized by French illustrator Gustave Doré's depiction of the creature in Les Contes de Perrault, a collection of fairy tales released in 1862.

Shin Megami Tensei V	A fae beast from the Scottish highlands whose kingdoms can be found in tree hollows or abandoned houses. Dog-sized, they have white tufts of hair on their chest, green, intelligent eyes, and are even capable of understanding the human language. Though they usually stick to their territory, some have been known to live with humans as normal black cats. They are generally peaceful, but should a human treat one poorly, they will forcibly take that human to their kingdom.

Devil Survivor: Overclocked	A cat fairy of the highlands of Scotland, said to have their own kingdom inside hollow trees and deserted houses. They are about the size of dogs and covered in black fur, except for their white chests. Their green eyes shine with intelligence, and they can understand human speech. They normally live in the kingdom, but there are times when they live amongst people as normal black cats.

Nomenclature

Cait Sith's name is a misspelling of the Scottish Gaelic cat sìth (literally "fairy cat"), using the plural cait instead of the singular cat.

The name from Revelations: Persona, "Muskat", probably comes from "musketeer" and "cat".
