10 Greatest Uses Of Mythological Creatures In Gaming History
8. Shiva - Persona 4
Shiva is one of the main deities in the Hindu religion, where he is often depicted as one of the most powerful gods in the world. In gaming, however, Shiva often takes on a female form - perhaps most popularly being used as a early to mid-game summon in many of the Final Fantasy games.
However, it is her appearance in Persona 4 where she truly shines and demonstrates the power that the God is known for, acting as the top Persona that can be created as part of the Tower Arcana and offering a set of abilities that can be crucial to the success of the player at higher difficulty levels.
Persona as a series is essentially a compendium of mythological creatures, but Shiva's ability to repel or absorb various magical attacks, in addition offering a wealth of abilities that boost the powers of the party, makes her one of the better choices of Persona to take into the last few dungeons.
Fusing her is no easy task, but any player who manages to achieve it will be more than happy to have her on their side.
