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 Game instead of Atlus NA itself). This localization decision was proabably made to pay homage to the series title "Megami Tensei" (Goddess Reincarnated). The title refers to [[Yumiko Shirasagi]] from ''[[Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei]]'' for her former life as the goddess [[Izanami]]. |

The Megami (女神, megami) are literally Goddesses. They are usually the female counterpart of a Head God in Pantheons (e.g: Parvati being Shiva'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 but they excel in healing and offensive magic. 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 Head Deities, most of the time Megami is not the same alignment as them. Megami is more often LIGHT-LAW than LIGHT-NEUTRAL, even if Majin is LIGHT-NEUTRAL in the same game.

Trivia
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 Game instead of Atlus NA itself). This localization decision was proabably made to pay homage to the series title "Megami Tensei" (Goddess Reincarnated). The title refers to Yumiko Shirasagi from Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei for her former life as the goddess Izanami.
