Alilat

Alilat is a demon in the series.
==History==
Al-Lat, also known as Allat, Alilat or Allatu, was a major goddess worshiped all across the Arabian Peninsula as well as in present day Syria in antiquity, especially popular among the Nabateans. Her precise sphere of influence is uncertain; various researchers propose solar, lunar or an otherwise astral character, but nothing can be said with absolute certainity. Her sacred animals were lions and gazelles.
The Nabateans regarded Alilat as a mother goddess, but also conflated her with the Greek Athena and her Roman counterpart Minerva, despite Alilat seemingly lacking any warlike traits herself. She was either the mother or wife of the popular Nabatean god Dushara, considered to be the equivalent of either Zeus or Dionysus.
Al-Lat is mosty known as one of three main idols (alongside al-'Uzza and al-Manat) worshiped by the people of Mecca before Islam was spread by the prophet Muhammad. Her idol was seemingly a baetylus (omphalos), an unusual stone. Such a form of cult was also associated with Alilat among the Nabateans.
Medieval Arabic legends considered the stone idol described in earlier texts to be a deification of a man who used a stone to grind cereal for the pilgrims visiting pre-Islamic Mecca, assuming the name's original form to be al-latt, "the grinder."

===Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE===
Alilat appeared as a rare boss spawn in the 2014 Nightmare Ride Show event instance. Defeating her allowed players a chance at obtaining the ability to fuse her in a special triple fusion of Hecate, Artemis and Parvati. She reappeared as one of the two bosses in the Kappa and the Lost Utopia event later that year, spawning in the Yodobashi Underground in the shrine across from where Albion spawned. Like Artemis, she possesses the Moon Goddess feature that significantly boosts synthesis success rates.
===Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey===
She appears as the single demon of the Geist race (besides Anat in Redux), and as a powerful boss in Sector Grus in a New Game Plus EX Mission. In that capacity, she serves as the lock holding back the power of the Demiurge, who is seeking to reassemble itself. She possesses several highly damaging attacks such as Megidolaon, and can charge it up with Concentrate for complete wipeouts, or even use Diarahan to fully restore herself to full health.
As she lies dying, she fervently whispers "he," even with the lock shattered, cannot do anything to avert the revival of the "goddess-worshipping world he once trampled." This is but one of the many times the game implies the angel both requesting Alilat's death and the destruction of Demiurge is YHVH and the reason for the enmity between the Mothers of the Schwarzwelt and the forces of Law.
Upon her death, her skull, the Rare Forma Nabatea Stone, can be used to create one of the game's last SubApps: Scanning Zero, which is replaced by Columbus in Redux. Her special fusion is also unlocked, which consists of Peri, Azrael and Israfel.
===Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse===
Alilat can be summoned in the Cathedral of Shadows through a special fusion of Peri, Azrael and Israfel once Nanashi can control level 84 demons. She can teach Nanashi the Diarahan, Megidolaon, Concentrate and Makarabreak skills through her Demon Whisper. Alilat benefits from learning Almighty, healing and support skills.
===Shin Megami Tensei V===
Alilat appears in the Empyrean, blocking the protagonist's journey to the throne by testing him to see if he is worthy of claiming the throne. She will summon Ose and Flauros as reinforcements during the battle.
===Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers===
Alilat is necessary in order to fuse Zeed into the hero Saladin.
===Persona 3===
Alilat is the ultimate Persona of the Empress Arcana and is unlocked after the protagonist has maxed out his Social Link with Mitsuru Kirijo and reached level 84.
Her Heart Item is Divine Pillar, which grants more defense against physical and magical skills, but no evasion against them.
===Persona 5 Royal===
Alilat is the eleventh Persona of the Empress Arcana, and can either be found during the Third Semester Arc within Maruki's Palace or otherwise available to be fused after 1/12. She will only appear after the monitoring room. As a Shadow she is known as the "Decadent False God." Prior to this, Alilat acts as the mid-boss in Futaba's Palace that must be fought to obtain the Blue Wrath Seed. As a Shadow, Alilat has the personality and dialogues of an elder woman. In battle, Decadent False God is innately immune to Dizzy, Sleep, Confuse, Forget, Brainwash, Fear, Despair, although Chaînés Hook may still inflict ailments to her.
When Itemized by Electric Chair execution, Alilat offers the Mabufudyne Skill Card. During a Fusion alarm, Alilat instead creates the Diamond Dust Skill Card.
Alilat is considered a god-like female Shadow, and thus, is affected by Ann's Girl Talk and Akechi's Smooth Talk.
