A Dragonslayer, often associated with the Horned Gods, are a concept in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance.
Profile
In mythology, Dragonslayers are a common archetype where a heroic figure defeats a powerful draconic figure, sometimes referred to as a serpent. This can be traced back to ancient myths such as Marduk slaying Tiamat or Ra's endless battle with Apep.
In Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, the Dragonslayer is metaphysically tied to serpents.

The Nahobino is selected to serve as the sacrifice to summon Tiamat as he is the Knowledge of Susano-o ascended to the original form of a Nahobino. By Susano-o's nature as a Dragonslayer for killing Yamata-no-Orochi, sacrificing him to Tiamat would be able to restore her to life due to the magical counterbalance created.[1]

The horned god slayed the serpent-or the "dragon," as some call it. But by using this principle, the serpent can be revived... By offering the life of the horned god that slayed the serpent, the slain will be reawakened from death. That's why the Qadištu need a sacrifice to summon the goddess of chaos."
