Neko Shogun

Neko Shogun is a demon in the series.
==History==
Neko Shogun is a divine general in the image of a cat. Originally, he was a Chinese general who conquered Vietnam: Mao Shangshu (毛尚書). The people decided to dedicate a temple to him and worship him as god. However, due to the surname Mao (毛) sounding very similar to the Chinese word for cat (貓), the temple was accidentally misnamed. Thus, the Temple of General Mao became known as Temple of General Cat (貓將軍).

===Shin Megami Tensei V===
Neko Shogun is a demon of the Wargod race and can be fused through a combination of Pixie and Slime once the protagonist reaches level 5.
Amanozako will direct the protagonist's attention to a Neko Shogun while traversing Hamamatsucho, leading to the subquest "No Stone Unturned," in which the protagonist must collect 5 Life Stones to give to Neko Shogun. Completing the quest will lead the Neko Shogun to granting the Wargod Talisman key item to the protagonist, which allows any demon of the Wargod race to use the Freikugel EX Magatsuhi skill, including Neko Shogun. While Neko Shogun does not appear as a normal enemy, it is possible to acquire Neko Shogun's Essence by reporting to Gustave after finding 15 Miman.

Advanced fusions like Neko Shogun's can only be performed after July 11th.
In one of the requests in the Empress Arcana Social Link, Margaret requires the protagonist to present her with a Neko Shogun with the skill Bufula. The easiest way to do so is to create a Kusi Mitama with Bufula by fusing King Frost, which innately has Bufula, together with Hua Po.

====The Animation====
Neko Shogun appears as a demon under the ownership of Jungo Torii, most likely as a symbol of Jungo's love for cats and his Fate events in the original game.
Jungo first summons it in a skirmish against a rebel mob in the JP's headquarters in Nagoya, and fights alongside Airi Ban's Cait Sith. Neko Shogun is shown to be very powerful in comparison to other demons, as the rebels' demons were quickly destroyed in the battle. It specializes in close combat and physical assault rather than magic. However, it could not do significant damage to Phecda and was destroyed alongside other fellow demons by Phecda's beams.
It is also used to fight off the other Septentriones, the next being Megrez. Though Neko Shogun's attacks seem effective against it, Megrez's recovery powers allowed it to recover from the damage fairly quickly. Neko Shogun also contributed in a full-on attack against Benetnasch alongside other demons, but it later gets forcibly returned to its cell phone due to this Septentrione's demon-revoking properties.
