Devils
Several demonic entities dwell in extra-dimensional realms referred to as Hell, using humans as pawns and subjects; some have claimed to be Satan.
Their origins are shrouded in mystery - a few are fallen angels or gods who fell out of favor with their pantheon, whereas some are the descendants of degenerate Elder Gods and others were shaped by the subconscious desires of their earliest worshippers.
This category also includes messengers and servants who work for these “Rulers of Hell”; "lesser demons" that share the same origins as their masters, but are usually less powerful (although still superior to most mortals).
Members include:
- Allatou
- Asmodeus and his servant Saturnine
- Azazel
- Baphomet
- Blackheart
- Cloot, a demonic adversary of the Hulk and a disguise of Satannish
- Dagoth
- Damballah
- Haazareth Three
- Daimon Hellstrom
- Hoss
- Ikthalon - The embodiment of man's tendency to resist change, and thus represents frozen stagnation.
- Inanna, "demoness of inspiration and madness"
- Kazann
- Legion
- Ludi
- Lucifer
- Marduk Kurios
- Mephisto
- Ningal
- Satana
- Satannish
- Sligguth
- Thog
- Zahgurim, "armorer to Satan"
- Zarathos

Famous quotes containing the word devils:
“I am sometimes told that “Women aint fit to vote. Why, don’t you know that a woman had seven devils in her: and do you suppose a woman is fit to rule the nation?” Seven devils aint no account; a man had a legion in him.”
—Sojourner Truth (c. 1797–1883)
“The fact remains that the human being in early childhood learns to consider one or the other aspect of bodily function as evil, shameful, or unsafe. There is not a culture which does not use a combination of these devils to develop, by way of counterpoint, its own style of faith, pride, certainty, and initiative.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
