Decarabia

Decarabia is a demon in the series.

History
Decarabia, also known as Carabia, is the sixty-ninth demonic spirit listed in the Ars Goetia, according to the writings in the Lesser Key of Solomon. Although he has no title in the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, he does in the Lesser Key of Solomon where 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.

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne
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
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 IV
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
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.

Shin Megami Tensei V
A large statue of Decarabia can be found in the Akabanebashi area to the southwest of Tokyo Tower. Absorbing the power from it will strengthen the protagonist's demons. Decarabia appears as a common enemy demon and can be acquired through fusion or convincing.

One particular Decarabia advises the protagonist on how to defeat Ishtar by revealing her weakness in return for Macca, although they can decline and it will still reveal Ishtar's weaknesses. To its surprise, the protagonist kills Ishtar, as it had expected Ishtar to prevail. Worried for its own safety, it decides to remain neutral and can accompany them as a traveling partner. If dismissed, it will wait for them by the ley line at Tokyo Station.

Enemy Decarabias can be talked to by Kaiwan and Forneus. In the former, Kaiwan accuses Decarabia of copying it due to their similar appearances, but Decarabia counters back with the same logic, scaring Kaiwan. In the latter, it is glad to see Forenus but expresses confusion as to why it never showed up for their meeting. Forenus states that they must be getting old and forgetful, but both are glad to see each other. Decarabia will give Forenus an item before leaving.

Persona 5
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.

Persona 5 Royal
Decarabia is instead the third Persona of the Councillor Arcana in Persona 5 Royal.

Trivia

 * In the PC98 version of Giten Megami Tensei: Tokyo Mokushiroku, Decarabia as a boss had the name ☆デカラビア.
 * The non-playable Decarabia in Shibuya in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne waits for Forneus, unaware that he was already defeated. He's waiting next to the Statue of, indicating it's a reference to the real life shiba inu dog who waited for his owner next to the station unaware of the fact that his owner died at work.
 * There was a Decarabia papercraft on the now-defunct official Japanese site of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. The file is available on the wiki as a PDF.
 * In 2017 in Japan, Decarabia was voted as the seventh most popular Demon in the Megami Tensei series.
 * The appearance of Decarabia is strongly reminiscent of the Pairans, a race of aliens seen in the 1956 film "A Warning From Space". The Pairans were later referenced in the 1983 DAICON IV animation, which was a highly influential promotional short produced for the DAICON convention by a small team of animators that would go on to become major anime production studio Gainax.
