==Profile==
===Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey===
Dantalion is mainly found on Sector Eridanus a random encounter on the 2nd and 3rd floors. There is a Dantalion NPC on the west side of the top floor of Eridanus, reached after getting the Gate Search C from Ryan. It gives the side-quest "Tales of Investigation" and will regularly employ the protagonist to be his proxy explorer across the Schwarzwelt, paying him to fully map several floors of each sector. Once every sector has been fully mapped, he will gratefully hand over a cache of Incenses to the protagonist.
===Shin Megami Tensei IV===
Known as Dantalian, he appears in the Challenge Quest, "Hunter Tournament Prelims," while acting as support for the final challenger. Dantalian also appears in the "Training Battle 3" Challenge Quest alongside an Oni. Flynn must defeat the pair without having their attacks reflected and finish the battle in 3 turns. In order to do this, Flynn must use the Blight skill before Dantalian can use Tetrakarn. Swapping in Zhen to use Pandemic Bomb will also lower the pair's damage output.
Dantalian later appears as a normal enemy in Kagome Tower within Shinjuku National Park. He can teach Flynn the Mazanma, Tetrakarn and Makarakarn skills through his Demon Whisper.
Dantalian appears in the New Game Plus Challenge Quest, "Slay the Demon in Hiding." Talking to the baker at the bakery in Mikado Castle has him state his desire to learn more. He will transform into Dantalian, telling Flynn that he doesn't care if he becomes a demon as long as he learns. In the battle, Dantalian's personality surfaces, saying that those who seek to learn become nourishment for him and in turn have their wishes granted. During the battle his face becomes the baker's, and asks Flynn to stop, as he only wants to learn. This is a trap and agreeing will have Dantalian call Flynn a fool. The demon is surprised at his defeat, unable to understand how even with his infinite knowledge that he could be defeated by a mere human. Dantalian's final words are in the baker's voice, asking if it's so wrong to want to know.

Dantalion serves as the governor of a labor camp in Shinjuku, and is fought multiple times throughout the game.
Ayato first encounters him shortly after escaping Hatsudai Shelter. He approaches Ayato disguised as a human and offers to take him to safety, but Newton immediately sees through the disguise. Realizing that his cover was blown, he attacks, but is ultimately driven off by either Pentagramma members or Ayato himself.
He confronts Ayato again when Pentagramma raids his labor camp. Despite being much stronger, Ayato defeats him again, and he flees.
