(→Shin Megami Tensei II: smt2/if resistances need their own line. since we can get individual values it might just be better to have inputs for each individual one instead of all just a single line)
A ghost that causes mischief and enjoys terrorising humans and animals. They lift and move objects around and make loud and unexplainable noises. They are often associated with paranormal activity, and, rarely, demonic possession.
"An apparition from German folk tales that is attached to a certain building and causes furniture and household objects to float around. Its name means "noisy ghost" or "noise-making monster" in German. Today, the poltergeist phenomenon has been scientifically analyzed, and many theories have been proposed, but so far they have failed to produce a definitive explanation."
—Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE Compendium
Poltergeist can be contracted in Ichigaya, Kagurazaka Zhu Que Caverns' bronze-level instance, and Shinjuku Babel's docks. They appear alongside Legion in the normal bronze boss room for Kagurazaka Zhu Que Caverns.
Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon
Poltergeist is one of the few demons that can be recruited in battle without negotiation (the first time) if save data is imported from Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army.
Persona 2
Any time a persona has a 'Change Form' mutation, there is a chance the mutation can fail, changing the persona into Poltergeist rather than its usual mutation result. For this reason, the player should always keep a Poltergeist in the Velvet Room stock.
Jack Bros.
Poltergeist begin appearing the Temple of Nightmare area. They teleport away from players until they can be trapped in a dead end. When killed, they drop an item to extend the level's time limit.
Devil Survivor 2
"A trickster ghost known for haunting houses. It wreaks havoc by making loud noises and moving objects around though the air."

The Animation
In the first day, Poltergeist appears from Daichi Shijima's cell phone out of the blue and cast the Bufu spell on other malignant demons to help him to get out of the crumbled subway station safely. In the third day, Daichi summons Poltergeist to extinguish the fire set by the horde of Legions. It should be noted that though, Poltergeist in the game does not learn the ice spell by itself. Instead it can only use the basic fire spell if without fusion.
