Senri is a Demon in the Megami Tensei franchise.

Profile

Origin

Xianli are leopards or bobcats that, after cultivating enough qi and/or reaching 50 years of age, transform into beautiful men or women. They will then absorb the qi of others through a form of Daoist sexual vampirism. They are vaguely associated with the Jiuweihu, and closely related to the Nekomata seen in Japanese mythology.

Xianli are alluded to in the Dianshizhai Pictorial, within The Housecat Causes Trouble. The story tells of a family in Wenzhou whose cat began standing bipedally and speaking in human language, in the early stages of its transformation.
