====Demons==== Demons in the Dresdenverse are distinct from the Biblical Fallen Angels, they are instead denizens of the Nevernever who are neither spirit nor faerie nor divine being. Most simply want to go about their business without having anything to do anything with mortals, but some are summoned to do the bidding of mortal magic users anyway, and a few try to enter out world to eat/murder/chat up/rape mortals. Almost every demonic being will test the bindings of those who summon them, even if they don't really want to murder the summoner, as a matter of principle. If they find those bindings wanting, they are free to do whatever they want to the unfortunate summoner, and whatever they want is almost universally unpleasant. While the vast majority are basically neutral, a large portion of them do work for Hell, serving as everything from foot soldiers to bureaucrats (Dresdenverse Hell is seems to work like an odd combination of a Feudal Kingdom, La Revolucion, and a Megacorporation) *'''Kalshazzak''': Low level toad demon has been forced into assassinations in the past, doesn't like being summoned *'''Chaunzaggoroth/ Chauncey''': A massive chitinous demon who works for Hell. He speaks in a perfect oxford accent and wears a pair of wire frame spectacles. He deals in information, providing intel in exchange for intel, occasionally trying to recruit mortals to the cause(a task for which he receives bonuses and potentially promotions from his superiors). While he's essentially a bean counter, his info gets passed along the chain of command to the Fallen and their allies. *'''Shen''': Purple, winged monkeys who throw flaming poop, we're not making this stuff up. They're malevolent demons who can fuse together to form a larger gorilla-like demon. *'''Baka Baku''': Don't really know where to put this one so its going in with the demons. Japanese folklore has this thing called a Baku that eats nightmares so children can sleep soundly at night, it looks like a cross between a lion, a tiger, and an elephant and is generally benevolent. These are not those Baku. In the 90s, a Japanese company made plush doll based off the Baku that came with its own little book explaining how the Baka Baku would eat all the kid's bad dreams and be their cuddly-wuddly protector. Because(heartwarming alert) the belief of children can do magical things, many Baka Baku actually manifested in reality and actually did protect kids from nightmares. Now here's where shit gets dark. After gobbling up kids nightmares, the Baku wandered off and tried to help other people. Unfortunately, no one told them that a) Negative psychic emanations, like nightmares, can have corrupting effects on psychic entities and b) PTSD is a thing. So lots of Baka Baku ended up being driven insane from eating too many or too dark nightmares and were corrupted. They now eat people's life forces and inspire fear as well as feed on it. To this end, they can assume human form and prey on the emotionally unstable and traumatized. Faith magic can make their human guise's skin translucent and make their shadow reveal its true form.
