The Smallpox Deity is a special-grade cursed spirit that was summoned by Geto Suguru (Psuedo) during the Shibuya Incident. It is a large, humanoid curse with pox-covered skin and a long tail. It has the ability to create a Domain Expansion called Graveyard, which traps its opponents in a coffin and then crushes them with a gravestone.
The Smallpox Deity was first encountered by Mei Mei and her brother Ui Ui. It quickly trapped them both in its Domain Expansion and began to attack them. Mei Mei was able to survive by using her cursed technique to create a diversion, and Ui Ui was able to escape by using his Simple Domain.

Megumi summoned Mahoraga in an attempt to defeat Haruta Shigemo, a special-grade sorcerer who was working for Kenjaku. However, Sukuna intervened and killed Mahoraga before it could defeat Shigemo. Sukuna was impressed by Mahoraga’s power, and he commented that it would have killed him if Megumi had summoned it when they first met.
