History

Namtar is a minor god or demon from Mesopotamian mythology. He was a messenger of Ereshkigal, the goddess in charge of the netherworld, and sometimes Nergal and An as well.

Namtar was considered responsible for diseases and pests. According to the Babylonian equivalent of the myth of Inanna's descent to the netherworld, he commanded sixty diseases in the form of demons. The myth of Enki and Ninmah describes Namtar himself as a demon who could take residence inside a human body to cause disease. Some texts describe him as a being responsible for bringing people to the netherworld. The poem Death of Gilgamesh states that Namtar had no hands or feet.

In the myth of Nergal and Ereshkigal, he participates in banquets of the gods in place of Ereshkigal, who can't leave the land of the dead herself. While other gods honor him as a representative of his mistress, Nergal refuses to, which sets off the chain of events which eventually leads to his marriage to the goddess of the dead.

In some accounts Namtar was considered to be a son of Ereshkigal and Enlil.

Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth

Namtaru is an F.O.E in the Theater District. It resembles a purple, levitating suit of armor with long sleeves, pointed legs, and a pair of golden and black wings on its back. It does not have free will and is just an extension of Enlil.

While the party is in the same room as one, Namtaru will mirror their movements - i.e. moving south when the party moves north, etc. Therefore, walking in front of it will inevitably result in a confrontation. Walls and low passages can hinder its movement and break the symmetry. Namtaru can float over empty spaces and its path can be manipulated to hit switches that toggle the wind shields in the labyrinth. Once the party leaves the room, Namtaru will immediately teleport back to its resting spot.

When defeated, Namtaru may drop White Tangle, Glutton's Mark, and Wild Card. White Tangle is used to create the party's ultimate armor: the Master Thief for the P5 hero, the Gold Sneak Suit for Ryuji, the Shajinbaori for Yusuke, the Crimson Leotard for Ann, the White Regalia for Akechi, the Archangel Scarf for Morgana, the Lord's Dress for the P3P heroine, the Wasteland Robe for Makoto, the Sirius Suit for Akihiko, the Beauty Thief* for Haru, the King Collar for the P4 hero, the Brave Scale for Junpei, the Solar Robe for Chie, the Ruby Kimono for Yukiko, the Gold Tokkoufuku for Kanji, the Magnet Bearsuit for Teddie, the Black Dress for Naoto, the Fuuma Outfit for Yosuke, the Ebony Dog Suit for Koromaru, the Sakura Robe for Yukari, the Empress Fur for Mitsuru, the Hero Hoodie for Ken, the Moon Haori for Shinjiro, the Monarch Jacket for the P3 hero, and the Aigis Armor v100 for Aigis. It is also used to create the accessory Chakra Ring.

Glutton's Mark unlocks the special fusion for Beelzebub.
