Lugh is a Demon in the Megami Tensei franchise.

Profile

Origin

Lugh is a figure in medieval Irish folklore, and he was presumably a deity in the pre-Christian religion of Ireland. He is a member of the Tuath Dé (lit. "people of God"), a group of supernatural beings said to have lived in Ireland before the arrival of the Milesians (the supposed ancestors of the Irish). Lugh is associated with craftsmanship and the arts, and he was commonly called by the epithets Lámfada ("long-armed") and Ildánach ("skilled in many arts"). He is the father of the hero Cú Chulainn of the Ulster Cycle.

Lugh's name is cognate to that of the continental Celtic figure Lugus, who is mostly attested in place names. Julius Caesar's reference of the Gauls' worship of Mercury, whom he says they believe invented all arts, has been proposed to refer to Lugus, though this is not universally accepted. Additionally, the first name of the figure Lleu Llaw Gyffes of Welsh folklore is also believed to be linguistically cognate to Lugh.
