Fiend

The Fiend (魔人, Majin) are a "new" race added to the Maniax version of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. Long time players of the Shin Megami Tensei series might remember the Fiends as ultra-rare optional bosses you could fight in the first two games, and Shin Megami Tensei: if.... They're easier to encounter and easier to defeat, though they are still challenging for newcomers of the series. The Fiends are optional bosses (except for two) that hold keys to progressing in the Labyrinth of Amala called the Candelabra.

The Fiends are often different incarnations of death. Though neither good or evil, the Fiends in Nocturne side with Lucifer and battle each other for possession of the Candelabra.
