Arahabaki

Arahabaki (アラハバキ) is a recurring demon in the series.

History
An ancient Japanese aboriginal god since the Kohun period. The Momunofu were his servants and before his religion was submerged by the Shinto pantheon, Arahabaki was worshipped in Japan's North-Eastern regions. He was also worshipped by Nagasunehiko, an enemy of Emperor Jimmu, and so by the Emperor's orders Arahabaki became a symbol of treachery, rebellion, and heresy and his worship was forbidden for a long period afterwards. Nowadays, Arahabaki's clay figurine is especially common in inns throughout Japan.

Shin Megami Tensei
In the first Shin Megami Tensei game, Arahabaki appears as a Majin under LIGHT-LAW, which is ironic considering he was a symbol of defiance due to the fact that he was worshipped by rebels, most notably Nagasunehiko.

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne
Arahabaki can be obtained by evolving Momunofu when he has enough experience at level 24. Arahabaki has the ability to repel Ice and void Expel, Death, and Physical attacks. Unfortunately, literally anything it does not resist or repel, it is weak to. It can also be encountered at the Obelisk as a random encounter.

Persona 3: FES
Arahabaki is the ultimate Persona of the Hermit Arcana. He can be fused after maxing out Maya's Social Link. His base level is 60.

Persona 4 The Animation
In Persona 4 The Animation, Arahabaki is the Persona representing the bond between Yu and the Fox.

Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner
Arahabaki is an enemy encountered in the Manipura Sewers. It tends to use physical attacks like Hell Thrust and Gates of Hell. To beat it, one ally must have a powerful Ice spell, like Cocytus, and freeze it. This bypasses its defenses and the player can inflict damage with critical after critical attack. It drops Fusion Cells and Vital Noises.

Trivial

 * While it is often referenced as a "he" in game text, it is actually modeled after women.
