Light of a Star That Breaks Children's Minds Devil

Character

This devil stands for a single eerie notion: starlight that wrecks the sanity of the young. Long before Denji's story begins, Pochita devoured it, and with that one meal both the entity and the mind-ruining glow it represented vanished from the world entirely.

History

Sometime ahead of the main events, Pochita swallowed the creature whole, and in doing so erased it together with the deranging radiance it stood for. The power it once wielded matched its lengthy title: a beam cast by a far-off star that drove the young into permanent madness. Toddlers and small children were the most defenseless, their still-forming minds shattered into deep trauma by exposure to it. Its dread is thought to spring from siderophobia and heliophobia, the fears of stars and of harsh light, and it sits among the celestial-themed devils beside the Moon Devil.
