Demon / Devil
悪魔（デーモン／デビル）
Races & CreaturesMajor Races
Incarnations of evil summoned from what are called other worlds; the umbrella term for violent, destructive "demons" and cunning, corrupting "devils."
- They delight in tormenting good, intelligent creatures and are regarded as a dangerous race; they are slightly stronger than other monsters summoned by spells of the same tier.
- Most have racial fire resistance; higher demons resist elemental damage well, although lightning is relatively effective.
- They need neither sleep nor food; they can eat and drink, but eating gives them no buffs.
- According to Evileye, demons and angels cannot use false names; a name is an important part of their existence, and using a false one would destroy them.
- Example races: Imp (a starting race, reached with a "Seed of Corruption"), Succubus, and Archdevil (Demiurge's final race).
- Albedo and Demiurge are demons; after Vol. 14, Renner's race changed to Imp level 1.
- Otherworldly beings such as angels and demons can use skills with the same effect as [Dimensional Lock].
- Demiurge's and Albedo's first race was Imp, from which sources infer that Imp is the starting race of the demon line; Imps are about 30 cm tall, with bat wings, copper-red skin, and tails that drip poison (Vol. 4 p. 100)
- Demons outside Nazarick: the fire-breathing hellhounds (difficulty about 15) mobilized during the capital's turmoil, greater hellhounds, crimson-eyed demons, and swarms of tiny demons (Vol. 6 p. 307, Vol. 6 p. 335); soul-eater demons make the faces of those they swallowed surface on their bellies (Vol. 6 p. 343)
- The "crowned demon" series in the Holy Kingdom arc: Floral Wreath (1 head, up to 3rd tier), Circlet (2 heads, 6 tiers total), Crown (3 heads, 10 tiers total), and Headdress/Top Hat (4 heads, up to 10th tier, 15 tiers total) (Vol. 13 p. 345, Vol. 13 p. 406)
- YGGDRASIL's "light-fingered demon" could originally steal any item, even World Items, but after players complained, it was changed to steal only items of its own level or lower (Web "Nations-5")
