Chris the Car is a Demon in the Megami Tensei franchise.

Profile

Origin

Chris the Car is based on the character Christine, a car that is the main antagonist of the 1983 John Carpenter film Christine, which is an adaptation of the Stephen King novel of the same name.[1]

According to Kazuma Kaneko Works II, Chris the Car is also based on the 1977 film The Car directed by Elliot Silverstein.[2]

Design

Chris the Car is a damaged red automobile, with a misshapen grill and front bumper that resemble jaws. Its green-on-white license plate provides the following information: issued in Tokyo's 足立 Adachi ward, vehicle class code 33 (private use car over 2000 cc), Hiragana character れ re (rental vehicle), and serial number 31-00.

The damage resembles a scene in the film adaptation of Christine where the titular car crashes into a wall.[2]
