==Profile==
===Megami Tensei II===
Orthrus appears as a servant of Pazuzu, and worked alongside the partner before she broke away from Pazuzu's control. After reaching the ruins of Tokyo, Pazuzu instructs the protagonist and his friend to meet up with Orthrus at the Princess Hotel and assist him in taking out the partner. During their confrontation with her at Tokyo Tower, the protagonist ends up siding with her, and the friend and Orthrus part ways with the protagonist. Orthrus continues to fight alongside the friend after his transformation into the Dark Hero, but is killed in battle with the protagonist's party.
===Shin Megami Tensei===
=== Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne ===
Orthus is the first of the three judges that the Demi-fiend must fight after being arrested by the Mantra Army. The next judge after him is Yaksini and then after her is Thor.
===Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE===
Orthrus appears in the Suginami field and within the gold level instance of Suginami Tunnels and the Nakano Stone Site. He can be contracted during the daytime in Ikebukuro outside the gates of Zoushigiya Cemetery. He appears regularly as a field boss in Suginami and alongside Cerberus and Garm as the final bosses of the Suginami Tunnels Unknown boss rush. He is also one of the mountable demons within the game.
===Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey===
===Shin Megami Tensei IV===
Orthrus appears as a boss on the second stratum of Naraku. Flynn is required to defeat it as part of Navarre's challenge to him and Walter.
===Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse===
Orthrus can be found in Ikebukuro or evolve from Chimera once it reaches level 50. Orthrus can also teach Nanashi the Fire Breath, Nihil Claw, Eat Whole and Madness Nails skills through its Demon Whisper. It benefits from learning Physical and fire skills. Orthrus will evolve into Cerberus at level 64, provided that Nanashi can control the result.
===Shin Megami Tensei V===
===Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers===
===Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army===
Orthrus appears in Dark Tsukudo-Cho as a random enemy and is a bit of a powerhouse being nearly double the level of the next highest level demon in the area. His attacks are short reach, so staying out of his swiping or Maragi spell range will keep him from taking huge chunks of Raidou's HP with each attack. Recruiting an Azumi in the area will allow him to be defeated quickly once the Bufu skill is acquired.
Orthrus will appear again while walking in Ginza-Cho but should be more manageable.
===Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon===
Orthrus is a demon of the Pyro Order and is one of the rarer demons to appear in the Tento Woods. He can be a potential source of Pyro Bronze to further upgrade Raidou's weapon.

===Persona 5===
Orthrus is the third Persona of the Hanged Man Arcana and can be found as a Shadow in Kaneshiro's Palace and the Kaitul area of Mementos, with the title "Twin-headed Guardian." It is the first Persona that the protagonist can use in battle to learn the Agilao skill and is the second of four Personas to learn Dodge Ice and Burn Boost. It is the first of two Personas to learn the Cornered Fang skill and the first Persona to learn Matarukaja. When itemized through Electric Chair execution in the Velvet Room, Orthrus yields a Burn Boost skill card.
====Royal====
When itemized through Electric Chair execution in the Velvet Room, Orthrus yields an Agilao skill card. During a fusion alarm, this is upgraded to a Maragion skill card.
A lone Orthrus is fought early in the exploration of Kaneshiro's Palace, where it is used as a tutorial on how to use Showtime.
In the Path of Da'at, the Shadow has an unrecruitable super variation called the "Light Guardian" who is accompanied by Guard Dog of Paradise.
