demon
demons are a kind of monster found on the surface, but mostly in the demon realm. like angels, they were made by a god, being Kraun.
Demons are skilled warriors and tacticians. They are fair beings, without a soul brightness, but some can be evil. They are mostly chaotic beings, but are also known to be very orderly. they can have various skin tones and conditions, and can sometimes have different forms depending on their soul element
Basic Information
Anatomy
Demon's anatomy is largely the same as humans, except the horns, claws, tongue, and tail. However, demons being natural warriors, they tend to be on the more musclaur side. This is not a constant, and many demons exist that aren’t. One more thing, they often have pointed ears.
Biological Traits
Most of the biological traits of demons are similar to other humanoids. Male demons tend to be more suited for combat, and are often drawn to it. Females are often less combat drawn, and are more caring. However, to say they have to follow these roles is wrong, they often don't. these ----ecckecke--- as someone who has greater knowledge and a somewhat objective source, I will be writing these from now on.--------eckecckeck
Genetics and Reproduction
same as humans, but the period effects (?) aren't as severe
Growth Rate & Stages
same as humans, but their ages are determined by their overall maturity.
Ecology and Habitats
Demons are found anywhere that can sustain them, except for the skylands. They are often seen taking care of the world around them, but can and will be destructive. The state of the demon realm shows this, being a mostly burnt landscape from their chaotic nature.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Demons can and will eat anything they can, but mostly meat. It doesn't matter, their fangs and stomach acid are strong enough for them to eat rocks and bones, but they will eat humans and other demons if needed. Of course, demons committing cannibalism is rare, but is not impossible. They will eat humans, but this behavior is not as rare. They tend to hunt by themselves and using magic, as well as their claws. They are also very defensive of their prey/food.
Biological Cycle
the passage of time doesn't affect demons like it does with humans, since they can change their appearance at will and, as mentioned above, their ages are determined by maturity regardless of how long they lived.
Behaviour
as mentioned above, they are more chaotic than other monsters, but they are also seen acting very orderly. Throughout history, they were in many wars, and often working together amongst themselves, or with other monsters and humans.
Additional Information
Social Structure
Simply put, each group/ settlement has someone they look up to, but that person is treated like everyone else, like the smart friend you know you can ask to help solve a problem, who you look up to, but they're still your friend. This structure was found everywhere in the demon realm, before Konjurion started ruling with an iron fist.
Facial characteristics
demons commonly have horns, fangs and claws of various sizes. They also have tails that vary in length. Sometimes demons can also have wings. Most also have ability to shapeshift, somewhat.
Geographic Origin and Distribution
Demon Realm and surface, but also live in the Time Aether, The Grand Apparatus and other habitable dimensions.
Average Intelligence
Demons have the same, maybe more or even less, than other humanoids.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
with their similar anatomy to humans, demons have much of the same senses as them. Although they are drastically increased. They also can sometimes sense other’s souls and emotions. They can also use magic, which can give them senses that they don’t normally have. They can also have psionic powers.
Symbiotic and Parasitic organisms
really just corruption, arcane drain worms, soul worms. others that they can get are included in my demon realm research.
Civilization and Culture
Naming Traditions
Demons are often named much like humans, but they have different names in demonic than other langueges
Major Organizations
The Demon Realm is filled with many diffferet factions fighting against each other. however, they don't attack other faction's villages. The current largest faction is Konjurion's kingdom. The most widespred religon is kraun's kin. there are also sevral hidden or illegal networks.
Beauty Ideals
a demon's beauty ideals aren't strict and varies heavily
Gender Ideals
their gender ideals are that males are more built for combat, with a stronger skeletal structure than females. Females are seen as more of the caring type, often becoming healers, but also as feirce warriors. This, as you can imagine, means that male demons can also, and it's not uncommon for them to have and be the things that female demons gravitate torwards. In other words, demons break the human gender roles all the time.
Courtship Ideals
Demons tend to have a lot of different courtship ideals. However, for the most part, demon's ideas of courtship are mostly involving acts of heroism, thrilling stunts, and similar acts. However, this doesn't limit them to only finding these to be attractive. They often find acting cute to be attractive. Much like their gender ideals, their courtship ideals are also very complex. this is why I will not go into more detail about their relationships.
Average Technological Level
To put it bluntly, their technological level is weird because of a lot importing from the surface to the demon realm. Without all that, their level would be slightly more advanced than the middle ages.
Major Language Groups and Dialects
Most demons used to speak demonic, eldritch, and other languages not spoken by humans, but now that people have been going to and from the demon realm, they also speak surface languages
Common Etiquette Rules
as mentioned before, demons can be very chaotic, but they are largely nice, and often very polite.
Common Customs, Traditions and Rituals
some demonic traditions include, but not limited to: the day of remembrance, a time to remember the dead, the day of peace, a day where an unwavering feeling of calmness is felt throughout the Demon Realm, The Lunar Festival , a event of shopping that happens every year, for 7 days (other events like this exist). the day of regret and the day of hope. These are the days when Lucifer asked majulia to revoke the magic from the humans, and the day the calamity was stopped
Common Taboos
The demons see any eldritch used in combat as a taboo, but outside, it's not seen as a taboo. This, for a while, was the only thing seen as taboo. However, since the idea of corruption came about, the act worshiping of the dark gods as a whole is now seen as such.
Historical Figures
Some important historical figures among demons are: Lucifer, Reveric and the other great knights (duh.) , Farlon, arcana, and others.
Common Myths and Legends
They have several myths and legends, often involving the gods they worship. Some include, but not limited to: the tale of the dragon's crown, The Legend of Lucifer, and the many tales and stories by farlon
Scientific Name
Tenebrarum humano
Lifespan
varies, but much longer than humans and close to other monsters
Average Height
can be 2 to 6 feet tall, normally
Average Weight
varies
Average Length
what is this asking? for a humanoid monster, this doesn't sound right.
Average Physique
Male demons can have stronger bones and can also be more muscular than female demons, which is why they are often, but not always, warriors and drawn to chaos and combat.
( creator's note: I made Reveric look how he does because of this and him also being a very strong demon warrior. This is the reason why him, Jess, and Kris look like average high school students from Disney, for the other two, I just wanted to have a little jab at Disney!)
Body Tint, Colouring and Marking
Some observed skin colors are: red (me), black, dark green, light blue, and dark blue.
Sometimes they can also have markings, such as: stripes, stars in random spots (mostly on the forehead, this is known as twilight demons, who are affected by shimmer in those spots), and many, many others.
