| Reason: List off all of the archetypes and which demons they represent |
Demon symbols appear as clusters of blue, semitransparent cubes. There exist several different types of demon symbols, with each vaguely representing the demons the player will encounter should they choose to battle.
Shin Megami Tensei V / Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance
Demon symbols directly represent which demons the player will encounter once battle begins. Demon symbols representing bosses are referred to as a Punshing Foe and typically appear much larger than normal enemies. Demons that are of significantly lower level than the Nahobino will run away when approached.
Persona 3 / Persona 3 FES / Persona 3 Portable / Persona 3 Reload
Demon symbols represent the Shadows that roam Tartarus. Most encounters appear as an amorphous blob with arms, while Wealth Hands have a gold coloration. Guardians physically appear on floors which they occupy, although they will stand still until the player approaches them.
Persona 4 / Persona 4 Golden
Persona 5 / Persona 5 Royal

If the demon takes notice of your attack, then the initiative will be decided by chance. Battles will often play out in your favor if you gain the initiative, so remember to strike first."
