Barong from Shin Megami Tensei and Shin Megami Tensei II

Barong (バロン?) is a demon in the series.

History

The struggle between the forces of good and evil is represented in tales from the Indonesian island of Bali. Barong represents the forces of good - it is the protector of mankind, using its charms and magic to defend villagers against the deathly black magics of the witch Rangda. He is a guardian spirit that is most commonly seen in the form of a lion, although each region within Bali has its own version of Barong, the others being a dragon, boar or a tiger. Barong is animated by the brother spirit Banas Pati Rajah to do battle with Rangda in order to restore the balance between good and evil. However after Rangda is killed, she is eventually resurrected, and Barong must do battle once again. This eternal battle is depicted in rituals seen in Bali, and in recent times have become an attraction for tourists.

"Origin: Bali. A holy beast that takes various forms. It sometimes appears as a lion, tiger, elephant, or cow. When the witch Rangda appears with her black magic, Barong counters her with white magic."
Shin Megami Tensei A-Mode DDS Dictionary

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne

"A mystical creature in Balinese legend. It represents good and is Rangda's eternal rival. Even if defeated, it will be reborn. The result is a never-ending struggle."
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Compendium

Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE

Barong can be encountered as a boss by obtaining an item from giving five pearls to the Rangda Adoring Woman in Souhonzan. Using this item in a plasma that appears by the left bottom teleport in Nakano Stone Site's gold level instance will spawn him. He has a rare chance of dropping the Forest King's Mask, which will allow players to fuse him when turned in to the Barong Believer in Protopia.
