Demons

Too Wyrd Quote

They had oddly colored skin of gray and blue and purple that faded into the shadows of the alley. Their eyes glinted red and yellow when they caught the faint light. Their teeth stuck out prominently, shining with spit. They were tall, nearly 8 feet.

One of the creatures came closer. Its jutting lower jaw dripped thick saliva and the deep red of blood. The creature turned its head to look at me, craning its too-long neck to peer into the corner where I was crouched, sniffing wetly. The sulfuric smell of its breath hit my face.

Demons are God-creatures of fear and pain. They are utilized by gods of all pantheons, though some gods use them far more often then others.
Demons also attempt to cajole humans into using them, as this allows them to "play" in the human world. They love the kill and the hunt, and they are willing to do almost anything to get the opportunity to do either.

Basic Information

Anatomy

They have unnaturally large humanoid form with a variety of bestial features, such as fangs, claws, snouts, etc. These are variable.
A demon's skin is often shades of gray or purple. Their eyes tend to be luminescent red or yellow. Tails are uncommon but not unheard of. They bleed a black substance that has little in common with blood.
Demons are very talented at glamouring themselves to look like humans. This is partially because humans feed the illusion with their desire to not know that demons are real.

Common Myths and Legends

Demons are most commonly associated with the god(s) of Abrahamic religions, particularly Jehovah. Even other god-creatures are likely to assume the connection in the absence of evidence that the creatures are working for or with any other entity.
Demons are prone to aggression and reaction, so they seldom can resist a challenge of any kind.
