''' | '''Demon symbols'''<ref>'''"Attacking Demon Symbols:''' By pressing the Y Button to attack a demon symbol, you will enter battle with that demon. Take the demon by surprise, and you will earn the initiative in battle. If the demon takes notice of your attack, then the initiative will be decided by chance.

Demon symbols are physical representations of [[Demon|Demons]] or [[Shadow (Persona)|Shadows]] that appear in dungeons or in the overworld. Oftentimes, touching or attacking a demon symbol will trigger a battle. A [[Chance encounter|chance encounter]] or [[Pinch encounter|pinch encounter]] may occur depending on how the player interacts with the enemy. | |||

{{Sectionstub| reason=List off all of the archetypes and which demons they represent}} | |||
Demon symbols appear as clusters of blue, semitransparent cubes. There exist several different types of demon symbols, with each vaguely representing the demons the player will encounter should they choose to battle. | |||
==={{link|game|SMT5}}=== | |||
{{ | Demon symbols directly represent which demons the player will encounter once battle begins. Some demons, such as [[Oyamatsumi]], appear much larger than others. Demons that are of significantly lower [[Level|level]] than the Nahobino will run away when approached. | ||

Demon symbols represent the Shadows that roam [[Tartarus]]. Most encounters appear as an amorphous blob with arms, while [[Wealth Hand|Wealth Hands]] have a gold coloration. [[Guardian (Persona 3)|Guardians]] physically appear on floors which they occupy, although they will stand still until the player approaches them. | |||
