Megaria
Megaira Belphegor is one of the demons who rules the demon world. She came to the kingdom country to remove the disgrace to her family name, as it was sullied in the events of the first game, where Arekko Belphegor lost to mortals.
Whether she wants to win the tournament, or just extract revenge on the humans who disgraced her family is not clear.
Eight Marbles 2X
In Eight Marbles 2x, Megaria is a rushdown character, using her great speed to overpower her enemy. Her notable moves are a full screen rushing special that can be done in the air, a overhead grab, a full screen beam super and another high damaging super that takes 40 to 50% health away on hit. Her normals also have the farthest range of any character.
Megaria is extremely fast on her feet, but only has average attack power, low health, strict combos and not a lot of special moves. She also doesn't have projectiles and none of her specials hit low, so she can be predictable and can have a hard time against a smart, defensive enemy. To top off her weaknesses all of her weak and medium normals don't combo into her heavy normals, limiting her damage output and mix-ups even further.
Personality
Megaira appears to be passive-aggressive and has a seemingly strong disgust toward the enemy, yet she appears to be sensitive to her farts like the majority of the cast. She seems to not mind dominating her enemy with her onara, as some of her expressions from her attacks show her smiling.

Trivia
- Megaira is 518 years old making her the second oldest in the game, she beats Duruji and gets beaten by Great Magician.
- Megaria's health is set at 280, and is the only character with 280 health.
- Arekko Belphegor, the last boss from the first Eight Marbles game is her older sister.
- Megaria has a unused good ending in the game files.
- Megaria has wings, but are not shown unless she does her Dark Smasher or Demon's Lock move. They are also absent in one of her win animations, where she floats in the air.
- Even though some of her onara moves don't use clouds, they still use the gas hit sound and hitspark hinting she can manipulate and energize her onara with dark energy.
- She is very easy to mistake for a succubus, but is only classified as a demon by the manual.
- Despite relations with Tepet, Lilim, Great Magician, Lacus (for weaponizing her sister) and maybe even Miranda, she doesn't have special intros with any of them.
- Strangely, Megaira is the only character besides her sister to never use her arms and legs, only moves them when crouching, butt abused, or on all fours. Why this is or if it as any significance is unknown.
- She is voiced by Rika Aokura.
- Her sprites are updated recolors of Arekko Belphegor from the first Eight Marbles game.
- All her moves are weaker, slightly altered versions of Arekko Belphegor's moveset.
- "Belphegor" in demonology is despicted as a chief demon for the sin of sloth, but she doesn't seem to reference this. The appearence for Belphegor was either a naked woman or a long bearded monsterous looking male. The only thing she has in slight relation to this is to conjure Belphegor, a sacrifice in the form of excrement was needed.
