It does sound interesting so I'll give it a try.

And yes, MegaTen fans should recognize Ganesha as one of the many 'demons' and 'persona' you face in the games.
Here is his look there:

That's Ganesha, the Indian god. ;) (or maybe this was the name of the rat he rides? Haven't studied this in a while...)

Ganesha is indian god with elephant head and a man's body. He can place and remove obstacles on the human's life path.
