Mothman

Mothman is a recurring demon in the series.

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne
Mothman can be encountered in the Ikebukuro Tunnel as a random encounter. Due to being a demon of the Wilder race, the Demi-fiend cannot speak to them unless he either uses the Jive Talk conversation skill if he has it or encounters one in a dazed demon state during the Full Kagutsuchi.

A Mothman with the most powerful multi-target elemental spells can be purchased from a Shady Broker in the Labyrinth of Amala for 50,000 Macca.

Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE
