Babel

Babel is a demon in the series.
== History==
Babel, more commonly referred as the "Tower of Babel," is a tall tower that was built during the construction of the city of Babel, being meant to be used to connect Earth and Heaven. The purpose of the tower was for the people constructing Babel to be able to give honor to themselves in order to keep themselves from scattering across the earth, planning for the tower to reach the skies and pierce Heaven itself.
Several generations ago, humanity attempted to build a single, centralized location. Therefore, God came down to the Earth in order to confuse the languages and make it difficult to collaborate among themselves. After the disruption in language, humanity separated into individual groups scattering the Earth and setting up separate civilizations, leaving the city to be temporarily abandoned.
To this day, the tower remains but as a Biblical landmark. It is also believed that the tower houses the first ever known united language which has information on how to enter the realm of Heaven itself, however, it is impossible to be translated by even the most skilled linguist. A demon known as Pruflas is also said to reside within or around the vicinity of the tower like a flame, endlessly scouring the walls of the construct in order to find the proper information on how to raid the gates of Heaven until Judgement Day.

===Devil Survivor===
Babel was the largest portion of the original King of Bel's power. Belberith attempted to summon it to become the new King of Bel, but the tower failed to react to him, only revealing its true form later to the protagonist.
Babel appears in several forms, each with a distinctive feature depending on the storyline the protagonist faces it in. In "Kingdom of Saints" with Amane, Babel's initial face when the protagonist summons it during a cutscene, is that of a small child. In Gin's/Haru's path, "Song of Hope," it appears as an old man with a long beard. In "King of Demons," with Naoya and Kaido, it appears as a grown woman with long hair. In "Silent Revolution," it's appearance is that of a middle-aged man with short hair.
Regardless, its abilities are the same. If the party were to succeed in defeating Babel's first form (If Babel is close to losing, its face will begin to make small twitches in and out of battle.), it will then reveal its true form, a tower-like demon with many eyes, and split itself in half, revealing the "King's Gate."
It is advised that, the party constantly remain in battle with Babel instead of stalling outside of it. Babel is shown to use Calamity of Babel, a Mystic attack which causes damage to every party on stage while also inflicting Mute on them. Often, when Babel casts Calamity of Babel, it also shifts its weakness (first to Force, then to Physical attacks) while covering its previous one.
Babel is the final Bel in the game, and the strongest boss (barring bonus boss Lucifer) in the storyline.
