SEGA and ATLUS have released a new “Daily Demon” video for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, introducing the demon Bishamonten. This demon returns from the original Shin Megami Tensei V.
The May 18 Daily Demon video for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance introduced Mothman, a cryptid sighted in West Virginia from the 1960s to 1980s. It has red eyes and finlike appendages on both sides of its body. It can walk on two feet, and its sense for blood allows it to track its prey very easily.

Returning in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, Bishamonten is a Buddhist Dharmapala and one of the Four Heavenly Kings. As a member of Taishakuten’s Eight Legions, Bishamonten is tasked with the protection of the North. Prince Shotoku would pray to Bishamonten for victory, establishing him as a war god.
