As a major reccurring character in the series, Lucifer has received multiple designs. His first design | As a major reccurring character in the series, Lucifer has received multiple designs. His first design is that of a beautiful man with flowing blonde hair wearing nothing but a white cloth or ribbon wrapped around his body. He has three pairs of white angel wings, long thin horns pointing outwards, and is depicted with his eyes closed. This design is primarily seen in early games in the franchise, and when in games with multiple Lucifer designs, this one is typically referred to as Helel. | ||
The second design acts as an inversion of the first design, retaining the three pairs of wings, horns, white cloth, and blonde hair, however altered into a more demonic form. Rather than a beautiful man, Lucifer is a monstrous man with blue-green skin and ridges across his body, as well as spikes protruding from his forearms and around his neck like a collar. His wings are bat-like and demonic, with a crimson inner membrane while the rest of the wing is the same color as the rest of his body. His horns point upwards, and his long blonde hair is slicked back as well as on his cheeks as sideburns. His eyes are pure red, and his face is always contorted into a scowl. This is the default design used for Lucifer throughout the series, having appeared in many series and spin offs. | The second design acts as an inversion of the first design, retaining the three pairs of wings, horns, white cloth, and blonde hair, however altered into a more demonic form.

In [[Shin Megami Tensei IV|''Shin Megami Tensei IV'']], Lucifer was designed by guest artist [[Yasushi Nirasawa]]. This design was a significant departure from prior depictions of Lucifer, being a tall, thin and bald alien-like creature with extremely pale skin. He wears a long sleeved shirt that exposes his chest, a corset around his waist with multiple belts, tight pants, and strapped boots, all golden and marked with intricate patterns. His eyes are bulbous and black, and while his right arm loosely fits his shirt his left arm is exposes, as it has a massive tumor in the forearm that twitches and pulses, and is contained by metal restraints. This design was altered for [[Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse|''Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse'']] by [[Masayuki Doi]], changing his skin to dark grey and glowing red eyes that no longer bulged out of his head. In addition, he was seated on a throne with twelve rays of light stretching out from the center in reference to his wings. | In [[Shin Megami Tensei IV|''Shin Megami Tensei IV'']], Lucifer was designed by guest artist [[Yasushi Nirasawa]].

His second form, also designed by Yasushi Nirasawa, is much more demonic. All his clothing is replaced with golden scales, and he grows six pairs of golden demon wings, two from his back and the last from his lower legs. His head, chest, and hands keep their pale color, however they have all changed shape; his head is no longer has eyes and has a pair of golden horns curved downwards, his chest has scales similar to the rest of his body, and his hands have grown longer with various claws attached to them. The tumor in his left arm has hatched into a deformed humanoid entity, with two arms and four insect like legs reaching out and it's face having blank eyes and baring its teeth. Around it's neck it wears a blue scarf, signifying that this deformed entity is what remains of [[Walter]]. | |||
In ''[[Shin Megami Tensei V]]'', Lucifer initially appears in his traditional demonic form before transforming into a new ascended form for the final battle. This design incorporates aspects of the Helel and demonic forms, as well as aspects from [[YHVH]]. His body is made of white metal accented with gold rather than flesh, combining sharp angles and smooth surfaces. The upwards and outwards pointing horns of his previously mentioned forms are combined in the form of a crowned helmet, with his blonde hair now made of gold going down to his chest in two long strips of metal. His arms and legs are mechanical, with his shoulders being segmented from his chest and pointed, and his forearms have armor that extends from beyond the elbow to the wrist. His legs do not have feet, instead being pointed from the knees down. He has twelve wings of golden metal, eight at his back pointing upwards and resembling a sun, two wrapped around his waist, and two attached to his legs. His face is statuesque with the golden eyes of a [[Nahobino (Gods)|Nahobino]]. When in his second phase, all while coloration turns to black, with all other aspects of his design remaining identical. Lucifer states this design is his true form, but it is unclear if this has always been his true form or if it is a new form attained after consuming the God of Law's knowledge, making this his Nahobino form. | |||
