According to a Famitsu interview with Kazuma Kaneko, Gashadokuro has its origin in a yokai encyclopedia published in the 1970s.[1]
Design
Gashadokuro is depicted in the Devil Summoner series as the upper half of a giant human skeleton with the letter "G" on its forehead. According to Kazuma Kaneko, its large size is because of its formation from a gathering of spirits.[2] Its eye sockets are distorted, giving the impression of an angry brow. Its color in its Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner design is a greenish off-white color, while in Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, it is red.
