The Cutting Room Floor mentions a few other demons who were cut from Nocturne besides that Amaterasu. Most of these appeared in NINE, but one named シャスティ (Shasty?) hasn't appeared in any SMT game. I would guess that this might be the Hindu goddess Shashthi. Either way, it's more fodder for unused Kaneko design speculation.
Correct! One can assume she would have used the same "Hindu goddess" template as Sarasvati/Paravati/Sati.
Similarly to Shashthi, there's a couple more unique names that popped up in Megaten Maniacs' Nocturne draft materials. I swore I've talked about them before, but I can't find it. Anyway, on page 95 there's a list on a page dated to March 1999 with these demons listed:
These are, from left to right: Leviathan, Behemoth, Tiamat, Humbaba, Set, Typhon, Angra Mainyu, Aka Manah, Azhi Dahaka, Balor, Surt, Loki, Fenrir, Jormundgandr, Chernobog, Chiyou, Mahakala, Vritra, Yomi Gozen, Ushitora Konjin, Lucifer, Satan.
So lots of baddies, mostly familiar names, except for Yomi Gozen and Ushitora Konjin! I can't easily find info about Yomi Gozen but Ushitora Konjin has significance in a fringe religious movement named Oomoto. It's obvious that this list was basically just a brainstorming session that never really came to pass for Nocturne, but intriguing nonetheless.

I got a liking towards Pizza Tower and now these two exist.
Meet the twins that share a single braincell, Kojin and Kura Chandler.
They are both young adults even if Kura doesn't seem like it lol.
Ask Box is open for them both!!
On the left is Kojin, a former human now cursed to be this fire dullahan thing. His head can and does come off.
Also the fire acts as normal fire, so he has to be really careful with his surroundings and with his mood. Even prolonged contact with his skin risks a burn.
...This makes job searching quite difficult. He'll take any gig that doesn't risk suffocating himself.
But hey, at least he's fireproof and unaffected by heat.
To most, Konjin appears reserved and stoic. He doesn’t show much outward emotion in general, and when he does, it’s subdued in comparison in how he feels inside. While it is partially his natural demeanor, he does put up a front and internalizes much of his stress. He also tends to be straightforward with his thoughts, which has backfired on more than one occasion.
On the right is Kura, and she easily makes up for his brother's unassuming behavior with her energetic- and impulsive- ways. Whenever the two get into a fight, she is usually first to snap. When Kojin needs her though, she will stick by his side.
She actually gave his the name "Kojin" after he lost his former name.
Unlike Kojin, she is 100% human and has a job.
She also makes handmade candles as a hobby, which she enjoys. If not that, she avidly tunes in to NTV.
While the two bicker- sometimes violently- they do have each other's backs while they take on the world together.
The two don't know any of the canon Pizza Tower characters personally.
The few they DO know about goes as follows:
-Though they haven't met, Peppino makes them both nervous.
-Kura is a fan of Noise's content. Kojin finds him obnoxious.
-They don't know Gustavo, but they've seen him before. They're more interested in Brick honestly.
-They're curious about Gerome, but don't bother him. Kura is tempted to ask about that crumbled tower though.
now that harry and I have been living together so long, we really need to set aside time for sleepover activities. like doing dramatic readings of bad fanfiction in the dark at 3 am and having harry force me to watch the entirety broadway karkat or ratboy genius or konjin house etc etc etc he makes me watch so many things
