==Summary==
Nyx is an alien being, said to have inspired the idea of the Greek goddess of the night, and serves as the true Final Boss of Persona 3. Once known as "The Star Eater", Nyx one day crashed into the primordial Earth, leaving fragments of its psyche on the surface while its body entered a dormant state and became the Moon. These fragments incited the ancient lifeforms into forming a self-defense mechanism known as the Collective Unconscious. The Collective Unconscious being the place where all Personas and Shadows throughout the Persona series originated.
Despite its major role in the franchise, it has only physically appeared for a very short amount of time in their True Form, during the last scripted battle of Persona 3.

Attack Potency: Outerverse level (Comparable to End-Game S.E.E.S. members and Late Game Makoto Yuki) | Outerverse level (Nearly one-shot Makoto Yuki with the Universe Arcana. Far superior to its avatar, and exist as the true archetype of night, an existence who reigns in one of the deepest depths of the Collective Unconscious as primordial darkness)
Speed: Immeasurable while incarnated. Omnipresent otherwise (Those who inhabit the unconscious, archetypal world are untied from space and time and diffused throughout all of existence, experiencing "all dimensions and possibilities") | Immeasurable while incarnated. Omnipresent
Lifting Strength: Immeasurable | Immeasurable
Striking Strength: Outerverse level (Can harm the End-Game S.E.E.S.) | Outerverse level (Nearly killed Makoto Yuki when he held the Universe Arcana in a single hit)
Durability: Outerverse level (Casually tanked hits from the S.E.E.S. members and Late Game Makoto Yuki) | Outerverse level (Was left almost completely unharmed by Makoto Yuki with the Universe Arcana)
Stamina: Infinite (Nyx is the source of the Plumes of Dusk, which are what power ASSWs such as Aigis and Labrys indefinitely) | Infinite
Range: Outerversal with skills (Should be capable of attacking over longer distances than normal Persona users due to Large Size, its influence should scale to the Velvet Room attendants), Outerversal with The Fall. | Outerversal
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: At least Genius, likely much higher. Nyx's wave-like psyche was so complex that Earth's primordial lifeforms were forced into a state of explosive mental evolution just for their minds to survive coming into contact with it, eventually culminating in the defense mechanism known as the Collective Unconscious; which seals away said psyche to prevent it from further affecting their vastly inferior minds.
Weaknesses: Its elemental weaknesses vary depending on its Arcana | None notable
