Profile

Shin Megami Tensei

"Origin: Sri Lanka. An evil eagle monster from Sri Lankan lore. It is also known as 'Gurr Yaksha' and is a demonized form of the holy bird Garuda. Hindu gods are thought of as evil spirits and rakshasa in Shri Lanka."

—Shin Megami Tensei A-Mode DDS Dictionary

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne

"A demon that takes the shape of a giant bird in Sri Lankan mythology. It is said that it may have been a corruption of Garuda."

—Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Compendium

Gurr can be fused through Sacrificial fusion if said fusion results in a Sparna and if a Tyrant demon is used as the Sacrifice. He can also be found commonly in the Tower of Kagatsuchi.

Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE

Gurr acts as one of the two law field bosses tied to the Invoke system and will appear in Shinagawa once every hour during weeks when the Law alignment dominates the system. After obtaining the rare black eagle ornament he drops, he can be fused by a special double-fusion of Garuda and Rakshasa.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey

"A demon that takes the shape of a giant bird in Sri Lankan lore. It is thought to be a derivation of Garuda."

—Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Compendium

Gurr appears as a recruitable demon in Sector Fornax. A wounded, moribund Gurr is seen and spoken to in Jack's Squad HQ.

Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse

Gurr can be found within the Tennozu Shelter. It can teach the Wind Breath, Axel Claw, Mazanma and Nihil Claw skills through its Demon Whisper. Gurr benefits from learning Force and Physical skills.

Trivia

• Gurr's 3D model differs significantly from his artwork in Persona 3 and 4. While they are the same basic shape, many details are different, with only the head matching. This is due to Gurr's artwork being based on the one from Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, while his 3D model is instead based on his appearance in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne.
