(Original Japanese title: Megami Tensei Gaiden: Rasuto Baiburu,
which translates to Reincarnation of The Goddess Side Story: Last Bible. )



Bestiary

Gameboy Color: 111 characters total utilizing 100 unique battle sprites.
Game Gear: 101 characters total utilizing 101 unique battle sprites.


  • I increased the size of all of these sprites 400% from their original resolution, for easier viewing. So, in other words, a sprite that was 24 pixels tall to start with is 96 pixels tall here. All copyrighted images, names, etc. seen on this page belong to Atlus, not to me. These sprites are presented for informational/archival purposes only.


  • The first image for each character is from the Nintendo Gameboy Color version of the game, the second image, if available, is from the Sega Game Gear remake. It's fascinating (at least to me anyway) to see the changes in monster graphics between the two, many of them quite drastic. While largely complete, I'm still missing ten sprites from the Game Gear version (Cerberus, Solion, Ashura, Loki, Pazuzu, Odin, Michael, Kishe, Uranus, and El). I wasn't able to get into Nova on the Game Gear port (it's shown in the ending, so I assume it's still in the game)--either the programmers changed the way to access it or I've somehow screwed myself out of entry (while I can read the Japanese hiragana/katakana text, comprehending it is another matter entirely). The Game Gear version also didn't let me continue the game after I beat it (maybe because I wasn't able to visit Nova?). Hopefully, I'll be able to update this page with those missing sprites sometime in the future, even if I have to resort to getting them from somewhere else instead of screen capturing them myself.


  • In addition to finding the creatures in the listed encounter locations, you can spontaneously create many of them by fusing together different monsters with Kishe's "Combine" spell (for example: Chimera + Banshee = Gozuki). Otherwise, you'll have to resort to diplomacy using the "Talk" command in battle to try to recruit them. I've given a sample recipe for each of the four strongest non-boss monsters that you can obtain by fusing (Odin, Pazuzu, Loki, and Ashura) in their individual entries.


  • Monsters with missing statistics, designated by "???", represent creatures that I wasn't able to successfully recruit or ones that are impossible to obtain. Uranus, Kishe, and El's statistics are listed as "variable" because they are entirely dependent on (1) what experience level you've obtained, (2) how you've distributed bonus points as you've leveled up, and (3) what, if any, attribute-point-raising Light/Water/Wind/Earth Charm items you've used on them.


  • I consider this web page a work in progress. If you see any errors/omissions, have some missing data/images you'd like to share, or would just like to comment, please e-mail me. I will credit you on this page for any relevant information you provide that I choose to add.


    • I found this index of Megami Tensei sprites to be a helpful resource, particularly for matching up the Gameboy Color names with the Game Gear version (the site is in Japanese, so, it probably won't do you much good if you don't have any familiarity with the language). Lacking another player to link play with, I also got the Michael and El sprites from said bestiary (I got Kishe and Uranus from the game's ending, if you're wondering). No matter how different some of the Game Gear monsters look, I assure that they are indeed the correct sprites, I cross checked their names with said list, along with their encounter locations in the Gameboy Color version, to be certain. Unfortunately, while there are a lot of Megami Tensei games covered at said site, the Game Gear port of the first Last Bible game isn't one of them.

Baram
Likely a misspelling of Balam (the Japanese language doesn't have an 'l' sound which is typically approximated with 'r'), one of the demons listed in the Ars Goetia. According to Wikipedia, Balam is sometimes depicted as having three heads--bull, man, and bear--which loosely corresponds to the Gameboy Color sprite.

Blue
This should be Stonka (in the Japanese versions, this monster's name is spelled "Suto-nka" in katakana characters) instead of Blue. Stonka was a mythical Hungarian bull with skin as thick as bronze metal and hooves that rang like thunder when it stomped. (Special thanks to Leigh Hanrihan for this information!) I haven't the foggiest idea how the English translator got "Blue" out of "Suto-nka"--maybe he/she was thinking of Paul Bunyan's blue ox, Babe?

Crow
Japanese Name: Yatagarasu. According to Jeffrey's Japanese Dictionary, a Yatagarasu is either a "mythical raven who aided Emperor Jimmu on his eastern expedition" or a "three-legged crow inhabiting the sun in Chinese mythology". As the Game Gear sprite appears to sport three legs, I'll assume Atlus' programmers were going with the second definition.

Gozuki
From Wikipedia: Along with his companion Mezuki (see below), Gozuki, or "Ox-head", is an agent of the Underworld in Chinese mythology. The two are usually the first entities the recently deceased meet and are known to escort the dead into the Underworld. The duo are also responsible for tracking down, and returning, wayward souls who escape judgement. Appropriately, Gozuki and Mezuki are usually encountered together in battle in the actual game.

Like her mistress, Rarun was skilled in black magic, and could assume many shapes, which might explain these bizarre-looking sprites... (Special thanks to Leigh Hanrihan for this information!)

Mammoth
Japanese Name: Hanbaba (Humbaba). From Wikipedia: The Humbaba, or Huwawa, is a giant creature from Akkadian mythology. He was the guardian of the Cedar Forest, abode of the gods, and brother to Pazuzu (see entry below). He was ultimately decapitated by Enkidu and/or Gilgamesh, much to the displeasure of Enlil. Thanks to "Nix" from the Bogleech forums for bringing this to my attention.

Mezuki
From Wikipedia: Along with his companion Gozuki (see above), Mezuki, or "Horseface", is an agent of the Underworld in Chinese mythology. The two are usually the first entities the recently deceased meet and are known to escort the dead into the Underworld. The duo are also responsible for tracking down, and returning, wayward souls who escape judgement. Appropriately, Gozuki and Mezuki are usually encountered together in battle in the actual game.

Skulls
Special thanks to "Zak NotAnAlt" for providing me with a screenshot of this monster's stats! Also, while it's a relatively trivial difference, it should be noted that this monster is called "Skeleton" ("Sukereton" in katakana), rather than "Skulls", in the Japanese versions. (Special thanks to Leigh Hanrihan for pointing that out to me.)

Spider
Japanese Name: Tsuchigumo. According to Jeffrey's Japanese Dictionary, a Tsuchigumo is an Asian species of mygalomorphae spider (Atypus karschi). Wikipedia says that the defining characteristic of mygalomorphae spiders are large, downward-pointing fangs which do not cross. Tarantulas and Australian funnel-web spiders are probably the best known varieties of this spider sub-type. Both sprite versions appear to represent the fangs correctly.

Tiphon
Likely a misspelling of Typhon, Gaea's last, monstrous son from Greek mythology. Additionally, "ScutigeraColeoptrata", from the Bogleech Forums, reports that there's an actual species of marine snail with the scientific name Conus typhon, which could be the inspiration for the Gameboy Color sprite.

Vaerial
Possibly a mistranslation of Belial (the katakana given in the game for his name is 'Beriaru'--the Japanese language does not have 'v' or 'l' sounds, which are usually approximated with 'b' and 'r', respectively, so you can see how such a mix-up might occur). Considering the company he keeps in the game (Lucifer, Mephisto, and Baal), it seems likely he'd also be a powerful demon/devil of that ilk, which also supports my hypothesis of Vaerial being Belial.

Vepal
A slight mistranslation of Vepar (which is a good example of why one should guard against the temptation to turn every Japanese katakana "r" into an "l"). Vepar is yet another demon from the Ars Goetia, a Duke of Hell who's particularly associated with the sea, hence the crustacean appearance.
