Deity



The Deity, known in Japan as Magical God (魔神 Majin) or Divinity (神性 Shinsei) is one of the most powerful races in the Shin Megami Tensei series, and is generally more difficult to fuse than most other races. They tend to be well-rounded demons, capable of using high level physical and magical attacks. In the real world, they are the chief deities of their pantheons; generally the lord of other gods and are associated with maintenance or creation.

They belong to the Gods species and are either Light-Law or Light-Neutral. They are the former in older games, but newer tendencies vary towards the latter. In the Devil Summoner series they are Light-Law.

Giten Megami Tensei: Tokyo Mokushiroku
"The chief gods of various pantheons.  Among their roles are ethnic god, father god, wisdom god, hero god, protector god, ancient divine king, etc. Many have bestowed humans with wisdom and grace, leading them to enlightenment. Their personalities are relatively good-natured, maintaining the status quo or encouraging free evolution. However, they can be quite fearsome when angered."
