Turdak can be contracted in the bronze level of Ichigaya's Kagurazaka Zhu Que Caverns. He appears as a field boss in Ichigaya, a nightmare mob in the basement levels of Old Ichigaya Camp, and a regular mob in Ikebukuro's Zoushigiya Cemetary.
===Shin Megami Tensei V===
===Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs The Soulless Army===
Turdak appears during an ambush set for Raidou in the basement of the Daidouji Residence while investigating the rumors about the basement. After reading Kaya Daidouji's diary in the cell found within the caves, when Raidou tries to leave he will find his way blocked by the demons, with Gashadokuro appearing behind him. Gashadokuro states that since Raidou read the diary, he must be killed. The Turdak demons will then join Gashadokuro during the battle. The two Turdaks will attempt to gang up on Raidou during the encounter, and Gashadokuro will summon more as they are defeated.
Ichimokuren will also summon two Turdaks as support while battling Raidou, and will do so in waves. He will close his eye and become impervious to damage until the two Turdaks are defeated, then go on the attack. He will then again summon two Turdaks before defending again. When low on health, Ichimokuren will again summon two Turdaks, but remain attacking during this phase.
Turdak begins appearing as a normal encounter in Dark Ginza-Cho, Harumi-Cho and later in Dark Fukagawa-Cho.
In Episode 7 in Dark Fukagawa-Cho, a group of Turdak will act as support when two Utai-gaikotsu confront Raidou for breaking their seal talisman which keeps Raidou from progressing through the area.
