Game Appearances

Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon

An Inugami NPC can be found in Dark Tsukudo-cho. Upon speaking to it, it introduces itself and monologues about how it was born of grudges and hatred, which is why it possesses happy people. It then claims it will also make Raidou unhappy and attacks him. After being defeated, it says it cannot exist without possessing people, and so, not wanting to disappear, it asks to become Raidou's demon. If Raidou accepts, it eagerly joins him. If Raidou refuses, Inugami sullenly accepts its fate, but hopes it can bring others happiness in its next life before disappearing.
