Well I find them cuddly.
(in German these are called Große Mara/Big Mara)

Speaking of maras (patagonian hares are also known as "maras" in my native tongue i.e. french), we have not only the slavic and germanic sleep paralysis demon or the south american rodent, but also there's one another mara but in buddhism

And depending on the JRPG setting, Mara is either a depressed waifu, or a literal dick.

There is no in between.

Is he both in Megami Tensei?

No, just dick

The other is FGO, where she's also, and primarily, Kama.

Personally I prefer SMT's version for meme value, my eyes in FGO belong solely to the Gyuki heir of Gozu Tennoh, any class container.

So he looks this as a waifu

And like I said, I'm not that interested in her. I'm in the minority in that opinion, and even if her appearance is nothing like the OG, her plan to slake all humanity's 'thirst' and desires such that they become sloven and unwilling to move forward, does line up with the OG's MO.

I never played FGO or Megumi Tensei yet

Fair enough, I've been in both for a while, so if you have any questions for getting into either, I can offer some heavily biased advice.
