Demon

A demon is some kind of evil entity. It's different in just about every setting's fluff, but usually sports horns and/or a tail. Makes a great antagonist, villain, or monster of the week.

If you're looking for the warhammer equivalent, then you should probably go to the page for either daemon or daemonette . Why the fuck is there an extra 'a'? Who the fuck knows.

Or rather, Daemon (with the a) is synonymous with a lesser god. Given that the daemons in warhammer are actually merely small parts of their god that have been split off to do shit on their own, as well as their power, it makes some sort of sense.

Be cautious when using Demons as characters, for Demons are beloved of Mary Sues and the teenage landwhales that tend to write them. If a pimply 14-year-old wants their character to have wings, and also be "edgy", said character will no doubt be a demon. If a character has to have magic? Demonic pact. Evil father? He'll be a demon - well, Raven from Teen Titans is done well but apart from that Demon parents are a minefield.

So, yeah. Exercise caution.
