[edit] About
In Japanese folklore, the senri are creatures that come into being when an extremely old mountain cat undergoes a spiritual transformation. It can take the form of a beautiful young lady and seduce unfortunate men that wander into the mountains. It then steals their life energy in order to sustain itself and gain more power. The senri is the highest rank of bakeneko, and it is said that other animals that have become demonised gather life energy so that they themselves can become Senri.
The senri are akin to the Chinese spirit animals known as the yao jing, which achieve human form after many years of training in the art of Taoism.
[edit] In-Game
In Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne, you will be able to get a Senri in your ranks by training a Nekomata to the point of evolution.
