"Let me tell you about "Tama" that you have been bursting subconsiously by the power of magic. Therefore, Tama don't have the self-multiplication ability that creatures usually have. Have you wondered why there are so many Tama while they shouldn't exist in this space? Hehehe…" - Demon God 36, *Just Kill Me.*

"Since you are a good guesser you should know how Tama was born by now. That's right, Tama was created by the hand of the God of Demiurge. You wouldn't know since you haven't seen the face of the God of Demiurge, but Tama's lovely round eyes look so much alike the God of Demiurge's. What? Do I have something in my eyes? Don't stare at me like that, I'm embarrassed. Hehehe…" - Demon God 37, *Just Kill Me.*

"If you don't have an ability to kill other creatures you can create a tool that has that ability. That’s how you created… That’s right…… That’s how you created Ballzinium. "That Guy", the God of Demiurge he doesn't have the ability to destroy things. He created a God-killing material just to kill the God he hated. You now know why you can kill me with Ballzinium, right? I feel bad for Tama because they were created for such a selfish reason. Hehehe…" -Demon God 56, *Just Kill Me.*

### In-game Description

"You can hurt the Demon God by bursting Tama!; Even if you leave here and close the game, Tama keeps coming down! It will be full of Tama in about two minutes."

### History

Tama are quite the peculiar creature, as they seemingly fall under a neutral stance as per the war between the Demon God and his former companion, the God of Creation - Demiurge.

Originally made with malicious intent in mind, Demiurge created the Tama as a species deliberately to combat the Demon God as the latter's only source of allergy. Any immediate contact even a singular Tama makes on the Demon God is enough to make him acquire breathing problems.

Despite all this, the Tama themselves seemingly has no grudge against the Demon God and his allies - even if the sole purpose of their creation was as a means to defeat him, nor do they hold a grudge against their creator, Demiurge, for being made for such a selfish reason, as per their own accord.

As they are mostly shown just sporting the same cat-shaped smile while not minding the fact that they are being thrown around, punted against celestial beings such as the Demon Gods, or their own sibling, nor do they mind being transported to "invade" the space the Demon God is currently being held captive in.

Ironically, the Demon God seem to hold a soft spot for the endearing mochi-shaped creatures, as evident throughout the first game. Such examples include the Demon God revealing how they somewhat resemble the Demiurge, particularly their "round eyes", or how in at least two of the notifications the player gets when they are inactive/away from the game, the Demon God talks about how the Tama misses the player and how they have started wandering about.

The Tama can technically be considered an honorary mascot, or even an easter egg, of the Fundoshi Parade company, as they are often seen scattered throughout promotional material for the *Just Kill Me* games, or they make cameos such as being present or mentioned in a good handful of Artifacts, making a permanent cameo in *Mystic Islands*, and even possibly being the main inspiration for Pechisuke's avatar icon, or vice versa.

## Trivia

* Tama in Japanese means "souls" or "a divine/semi-divine spirit", previously from the word "mitama".
* They bear a loose resemblance to Innocent.
	+ Though, according to the Demon God, they loosely remind him of Demiurge (specifically their "lovely round eyes"), much to his dismay.
		- This is later revealed to be the case because the latter is the one who created Tama.
* Despite also being a creation of Demiurge, Troy is susceptible to the Tama's power.
* They are also implied to be sentient, as one of the notifications players can get during inactivity is "The Tama want to see you. It means nothing to me though."
* Aside from being the only thing that can defeat the Demon God, the Tama also seemingly had a hand in designing the characters of the *Just Kill Me.* game, as revealed in the "end credits" of Demon God 12.
* For players aiming to get Special Artifact #56 in *Just Kill Me.*, they can usually reach 10.00aa damage when their Basic Damage is around level 80 or above while trying this alongside Fever Time.
