Mothman

Mothman is a recurring demon in the series.
==History==
Mothman is a cryptid of American origin. In the mid-1960s, there were some sightings of a great winged creature with massive reddish eyes. It is thought (outside of cryptozoology) that these might actually be misconstrued sandhill cranes or barn owls.

==Profile==
===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===
Mothman can be encountered within Nakano Stone Site's silver-level instance and is one of the two final bosses that can appear within the Old Metro instance. He appears as an NPC with DB Saitou in the later docks act and Diaspora where he offers cryptic warnings.
===Shin Megami Tensei IV===
Mothman can be found on the lowest level of Naraku, just before the encounter with Medusa. Flynn will need the Demolingual App in order to be able to communicate with them. Mothman can teach Flynn the Shibaboo and Tarukaja skills through its Demon Whisper. Mothman is one of the demons needed to summon Plasma through special fusion.
