Amaterasu (summon)

Unreleased

Amaterasu is a summon from Final Fantasy Explorers. In the game, she is one of the many summoned monsters that the Explorers fight during their quest for crystals.

Profile
Amaterasu has an appearance suited to her name, wearing a long kimono. Her weapon of choice is seven swords that. She appears to have an affinity with fire, as seen in her render and screenshots, where she is wreathed in fiery energy. Explorers apparently fight the summon on a ship, but further details are unknown.

Etymology
Amaterasu, full name Amaterasu-no-Mikoto (literally "August Person who Makes the Heavens Shine"), is the Japanese goddess of the sun, born from the right eye of Izanagi-no-Okami while he was washing himself after his journey into the underworld to rescue his wife Izanami. After her birth, she was assigned to rule the High Plains of Heaven, receiving Izanagi's necklace of rulership as a symbol of this charge. Amaterasu ended up in a long-standing feud with her brother Susano-o, but ironically the two deities' descendents are the ancestors of Jimmu-tenno, the legendary first emperor of Japan.
