Decarabia is a demon in the series.
According to the writings in The Lesser Key of Solomon, Decarabia, also known as Carabia, is the sixty-ninth demonic spirit listed in the Ars Goetia.
Although he has no title in the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, in the Lesser Key of Solomon he is a Great Marquis of Hell and has thirty legions of demons under his command. When summoned, Decarabia appears as a pentagram star, although he will take the form of a man if the conjurer requests it. He knows the properties and values of all herbs and precious stones, and can transform into any type of bird to sing and fly for his conjurer, sometimes acting as his animal familiar.
"Origin: Israel. One of the 72 demons of the Goetia. He usually appears as a pentagram, but can appear as a human if his summoner wishes. He excels in knowledge of ores, gems, and plants, and will teach them to his summoner." —Shin Megami Tensei A-Mode DDS Dictionary
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne [ edit | edit source]
"One of the 72 demons of the Goetia. He comes in the shape of a star and has vast knowledge of herbs and jewels. He can also control birds at will." —Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne compendium
Decarabia is a non-player character located in Shibuya . He claims to be waiting for a friend, specifically a Forneus whom the Demi-fiend had slain at Shinjuku Medical Center.
Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE [ edit | edit source]
Decarabia appears as an early storyline boss and as the regular boss of the silver-level Suginami Tunnels instance. Many pieces of equipment feature him in their design and he is one of the mountable demons within the game.
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey [ edit | edit source]
"One of the 72 demons of the Goetia, this odd demon appears as a pentacle. Keeper of minerals and herbal lore, Decarabia is said to lend one his bird-formed familiars." —Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey compendium
Decarabia can be found in the Infernal Tokyo version of Camp Ichigaya . It can teach Flynn the Sukukaja , Megido and Tetrakarn skills through its Demon Whisper . Kaiwan can evolve into Decarabia upon reaching level 44.
Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse [ edit | edit source]
Decarabia appears in the Kinshi Park area of Kinshicho . It is another source of the Bufu and Agi skills early in the game for Nanashi . Unlike the previous game, Decarabia is a low-level demon instead of a middle-level one.
"One of the 72 demons of the Goetia, this demon appears as a pentacle. Keeper of jewels and herbal lore, Decarabia is said to have the ability to shape-shift at will." —Persona 5 background
Decarabia is the fourth Persona of the Fool Arcana and can be found as a Shadow in Okumura's Palace and the Adyeshach area of Mementos with the title, "Vicious Pentagram." He is one of three Personas to learn the Ominous Words skill to inflict Despair and one of the two that learn Fire Boost and Tetrakarn. Decarabia is also the only source of the Null Fire skill, but he has the dubious trait of being weak to physical. When itemized through Electric Chair execution, Decarabia yields a Fire Boost Skill Card .
Decarabia is instead the third Persona of the Councillor Arcana in Persona 5 Royal .
Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2 [ edit | edit source]
"One of the 72 demons of the Goetia. This odd demon usually appears as a pentagram, but can show himself in human form if his summoner wishes. He holds great knowledge in the hidden powers of plants and stone. Decarabia is known to gift his summoner with command of bird familiars." —Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2 compendium
