Girimehkala

Girimehkala (ギリメカラ, Girimekara) is a demon in the series.

History
Girimehkala is a large demonic elephant from Sri Lankan mythology. It is said to be the mount of the demon lord Mara, who tried to tempt Buddha so that he could not achieve enlightenment. The Girimehkala's most prominent feature is its one huge eye, which is said to carry a powerful curse. Anyone that looks into its eye will fall ill and cannot be cured.

It is suggested that Girimehkala is a demonized Ganesha or Airavata from Hinduism, as Buddhist Sri Lankans and the Hindu Indians have come into conflict several times throughout history.

Megami Tensei II
Girimehkala is able to repel physical attacks, a trait carried on in most following games.

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne
Girimehkala appears as a story-line boss in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. In the events of the Demi-fiend's second visit to Yoyogi Park, after being confronted by the Demi-fiend about the Yahirono Himorogi, Sakahagi summons a giant Girimehkala to fight for him. Later, Girimehkala appears as a normal enemy encounter in the Diet Building and in the Tower of Kagutsuchi.

Additionally, you can purchase a unique Girimekhala from a Shady Broker for 200,000 Macca in the Fifth Kalpa of the Labyrinth of Amala. This Girimekhala has the special ability of Pierce which can then be fused onto other demons, the singular source of the skill in the game. Along with being the only fusable demon with the Pierce ability, this Girimehkala has many other useful attacking skills such as both Bright and Dark Mights and Attack All, referenced by the Broker in his description of the demon. You do however need the Seraph Metatron, the "demon brimming with light" to be able to access this Shady Broker within the Fifth Kalpa.

Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE
Girimehkala can be encountered as a field boss by carrying an Eggshell of an Avian at a certain point on Shinagawa field. In order to obtain the ability to fuse Girimehkala, a player would need to collect Essences of Yetzirah to turn in to the researcher in Shinjuku Babel's Cathedral of Shadows. He is a special fusion of Ganesha, Taraka, and Vetala.

Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner
Girimehkala appears as a normal enemy encounter in Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner. He can be encountered in the Homebase of the Brutes Tribe. Occasionally, after a few turns, Girimehkala will cower in fear and run away, prompting the arrival of a second, much larger and stronger Girimehkala the unique title Sarge. The Demon Girimehkala is also one of the few demons summoned by the optional boss Demi-fiend when challenged; he focuses on inflicting the party with powerful Mudo spells and occasionally neutralizes their -nda effects inflicted by the party.

Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner 2
Girimehkala returns as a normal enemy encounter in Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner 2. He is usually encountered in the Sun. Similar to its appearance in the first Digital Devil Saga game, dragging out a battle can cause a normal Girimehkala to initiate special dialogue and retreat, bringing in a larger and stronger Girimehkala referred to as Sarge. Sarge has access to almighty attacks and are null to things that normal Girimehkala are weak to.
