The Megami (女神) are literally Goddesses. They are usually the female counterpart of a head god of a pantheon (e.g.: Lakshmi being Vishnu's wife) or gods of love and fertility and are known for being kind deities. In gameplay, demons of the Megami Race are usually poor in physical combat (with the notable exception of Athena) but they excel in healing and offensive magic.
The race name of "Megami" is left untranslated in many English-localized games even though a straight English counterpart is available (with the exception being Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE which was localized by Aeria Games instead of Atlus NA itself). This localization decision was probably made to pay homage to the series title "Megami Tensei" (Goddess Reincarnation). The title refers to Yumiko Shirasagi from Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei for her former life as the goddess Izanami.
They were first considered a Light-Law race, but in Shin Megami Tensei II they were changed to Light-Neutral. Strangely enough, even though Megami are often the wives or female counterparts of male head deities, most of the time Megami is not the same alignment as Deity. Megami is more often Light-Law, even if the Deity race is Light-Neutral in the same game.
