==Summary==
"The hard bringer of death. A Hindu demon that dominates spirits and holds the power to instill fear. During his meditations, Buddha almost gave in to his temptation when Mara seduced him under a linden, a hardwood tree. Mara's great power was a sight to behold. His rigid strength spread far and wide, giving birth to many vile creatures."
Voted to be the 2017 most popular demon in Megami Tensei, In Buddhist myth, Mara is also known as "The Evil One," a tempter, through the deceit of regarding the mundane and negative as alluring, and personifies unwholesome impulses, unskillfulness and the "death" of the spiritual life. In many religions that incorporate the cosmology of the Hindu originated Trailokya, Mara is said to sit atop the Sixth Heaven of the Desire Realm that includes the mortal world, and is said to be both that which ensnares souls in Samsara by deceiving them with promises of happiness in the Desire Realms, and who is the ultimate obstacle of any who desire to achieve enlightenment into nirvana and sunyata.

|-|Resistances= To multitude of different abilities (The farther something is away from the human world, the less human consciousness can interfere, with archetypal entities that inhabit Atziluth being much less subject to interference than abstract demons) including:
