%%* ThePhoenix: Feng Huang/Suzaku

%%* TurtlePower: Gui Xian/Genbu

* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Jack Frost in ''Megami Tensei II'' and its touched-up SNES port bares little resemblance to the Jack Frost we know and love today. Namely, he looked like a traditional snowman, wore a red hat and shoes, a scarf, and carried an unbrella.

%%* ALoadOfBull: Shiva's steed Nandi.

** "Trimurti" from ''Persona 2'' by the personas Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma. It will KO all non-boss enemies. It is more broken since these three can be obtain far earlier than Lucifer and Satan and do not require the insane MP consumptions. This only applies to ''Innocent Sin'' since it was nerfed in ''Eternal Punishment''.

* BigGood: In short, if you see him, it's quite likely he's orchestrating victory for humanity. In ''IV: Apocalypse'', [[spoiler:he's very much your primary supporter on the Neutral path]].

%%* BladeOnAStick: [[LegendaryWeapon Gae Bolg]].
%%* BlowYouAway

* StandardStatusEffects: Samael has ''God's Curse'' as his SignatureMove (which also falls under SecretAIMoves) in ''Nocturne''.

Finally in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiImagine'' he can learn God's Malice, which inflicts ailments and does almighty damage.

* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Jack Frost in ''Megami Tensei II'' and its touched-up SNES port bares little resemblance to the Jack Frost we know today. Namely, he looked like a traditional snowman, wore a red hat and shoes, a scarf, and carried an unbrella.

The resulting Pixie will only be Lv.1, but will have a magic stat of 10 and a luck stat of 99 along with knowing the skills Megidolaon and Mediarahan. * {{Expy}}: According to Kaneko's notes, Pixies design was heavily influenced by Cham Huau from ''Anime/AuraBattlerDunbine''.

** In ''Shin Megami Tensei IV'', call yourself the main character and he tells you about how his father said to kill the main character. Free enemy turns ensue.[[note]]Ironically, he has the opposite attitude in ''Strange Jourey'', where he joins your party upon his mascot status being pointed out because he doesn't want bad things happening to the main character.[[/note]]
