Races are closely tied with the [[Fusion|Demon Fusion]] mechanic, in which fusing two Demons of different Races can result in an entirely different Demon. Fusing two Demons of the same Race produces a Demon in the [[Element]] Race, which itself can be fused with a fourth Demon to result in a higher- or lower-leveled Demon of the same Race. In the ''Shin Megami Tensei'' series, Demon Races are also associated with a particular [[Alignment]] that its members all share; this largely determines which Demons the protagonist can or cannot recruit through [[Negotiation]]. Races are sometimes divided into larger groups called Species{{Note|{{JP|大種族|Dai shuzoku|Great race}}}}{{Exp App|SMTI}} or Class{{Exp App|P1}}. | Races are closely tied with the [[Fusion|Demon Fusion]] mechanic, in which fusing two Demons of different Races can result in an entirely different Demon.
