Anzu demons

Demons that look like birds, but whose bodies were covered with black scales, while the wings adorn fiery red feathers. They have sharp claws and could spit both fire and water.

Banshee

Predominantly female demons who possess the gift of vision. They can foresee the death of a person, which is why they are often confused with oracles.

Their scream is so sharp that instantly everything made of glass bursts and everyone near them temporarily loses their hearing and sense of balance. They often have white hair and black eyes.

Choronta demons

Peaceful demons, but they are very shy. They have the ability to shape their magic at will. However, how an individual shapes them varies from demon to demon.

Dorchadas demons

Dorchadas demons are relatives to the Mara demons and the Kage demons. They have similar characteristics to dark skin tone and low body hair. In anger, their eyes turn black and their fangs grow. Unlike the Mara demons, they don't have a deep connection to the fears of others – that is, their inner darkness, but a relationship to the darkness itself. They draw their power from the night and darkness, can direct it.

Furies

They suffocate their enemies with a poisonous smoke breath, which they breathe into their mouths. Furthermore, they have sharp claws and thus wound their enemies very efficiently. When they get angry, their eyes and claws turn black. They usually have fox-red hair and red eyes.

Kage demons

Their bodies can merge with any shadow and disappear into the darkness. The perfect spies and assassins. Most often they have dark skin, which is littered with tribal marks. Their hair and eyes are both raven black.

Kamaitachi demons

Demons whose hands can turn into sickles, just like any other part of the body. The metal of their body forms one of the hardest metals in hell. Very powerful Kamaitachi demons can also grow sickles from their bodies and remove them to use as a weapon. However, these dissolve after a short time as soon as they are separated from the trunk body. This is also only possible in limited numbers, as it consumes a large amount of their energy.

Koshi demons

Their true form is that of a dragon. They are able to spit fire and create lava flows, are themselves immune to any heat. Their scales are so hard that normal weapons cannot penetrate them.

Lechies demons

Demons that have a connection to the forest. They are also called gods of the forest and hunting because they have razor-sharp eyes and can still capture their targets miles away.

Leviathans

The father of the species is said to be the former hell prince Leviathan, who was overthrown by the current hell prince Astaroth. Leviathans have dark scaly wings and wear tribal marks on their bodies. When they get angry or lose control, their muscles swell, black claws emerge, their fangs lengthen, and their eyes turn black.

Mara demons

Also called nightmare demons. They are able to read the fears of others and let them live through their greatest nightmares unless you have a strong will. They have no body persistence and usually a dark skin tone. They are considered to be very silent and usually live withdrawn.

Mazoku demons

Demons who can turn into two different animals. The older a Mazoku demon, the more control he has over it. In this way, they can only change parts of their body, for example, take on so-called intermediate forms. Mazoku demons have a strong connection to their two natures, which is why they can't stand it long in their native form – the so-called zero form.

Rakshasa demons

Demons that feed on the souls and flesh of their slaves. They lure their victims into eternal slavery with a trick. As soon as they want something, it becomes their passion. You should never agree to a Rakshasa demon without thinking.

Rune demons

Almost extinct race of demons. They are the only surviving race that uses runes to use magic. Runes are magical symbols that served a specific purpose.

Shadow animals
