Zhu Tun She, also known as Chot, is a Demon in the Megami Tensei franchise.

Profile

Origin

A Zhu Tun She, also known as a Chotonda or a Snake Pig, is a half-snake monster from the Yijian Zhi, a Chinese collection of stories, written during the Song dynasty. Despite being described as having a snake-like appearance, it has four legs and acts like a pig, making squealing sounds.

Design

It appears as a small pig with green vegetation growing on its back and a white underbelly. The horizontal stripes cross its back causes it to resemble a watermelon. It has large yellow eyes, resembling those of a reptile's, a horn coming out of its snout, and claws on all of its legs. The white part of its belly extends up to its cheeks around a structure resembling a tympanum.

In the Devil Children series it appears as two mushroom-shaped green pigs on top of each other with much smaller eyes, and a brown underbelly.
