Other Demons

In the shadows of history and the whispers of folklore, stories of creatures and beings beyond the ordinary take root, enchanting and terrifying those who dare to listen. Let us embark on a journey through the annals of demonic lore.

Abaddon
Deep within Christian and Greek mythologies, the dark angel of death, Abaddon, emerges. Often conflated with Satan, he is also known by the Greeks as Apollyon. Conjurers whisper his name in forbidden spells, calling forth malicious intent.

Algul
In the silent graveyards of Arabia, the sinister Algul lurks. Assuming the guise of a woman, she ensnares unwatched children, her thirst for fresh blood unquenchable. At night, she invades homes, striking terror into the hearts of those asleep.

Alp
The Germanic lands recount tales of the Alp, a chameleon of darkness, morphing into manifold creatures. It is whispered that he invades dreams, turning them into nightmares, draining the life essence of his victims. For those fearing his touch, placing shoes beside one’s bed with toes towards the door offers a shield against his dark grasp.

Antaura
From Germanic tales emerges Antaura, a malevolent female spirit causing piercing migraines. Her wrath, however, cannot touch those within the embrace of the waxing moon or the sanctity of the woods.

Asag
The ancient Sumerians speak of Asag, a ruthless demon who condemns humans to a feverish end.

Astaroth
From Jewish legends, Astaroth rises, a demon exuding an overpowering stench. Those daring to summon him arm themselves with magical rings, shielding them from the noxious aroma. Many believe he is the harbinger of demonic possessions and an advocate of lethargy.

Baalberith
Dark tales speak of Baalberith, a high-ranking demon, bearing the grim responsibility of sealing pacts with the devil. His malevolence leads men down the treacherous path of murder.

Baphomet
A chilling synthesis of goat and man, Baphomet stands as a ghastly emblem of Satanism.

Bar Egara
As dawn breaks in Syria, the Bar Egara perches on rooftops, lying in wait for unsuspecting men, unleashing terror upon them.

Daimon
In the annals of Greek lore, Daimons reside. These beings, oscillating between godly and human realms, possess powers both benevolent and wicked. Possessors of human souls, they are said to wield illnesses of the mind and body.

DEVIL
He reigns supreme over hell, epitomizing pure evil, often interchangeably named with Satan.

Dybbuk
Within Jewish chronicles, tales of the Dybbuk, a malevolent spirit, emerge. Said to seize a person’s very soul, it manifests in such torment that personalities alter. Only a rabbi’s exorcism can repel it, forcing its exit through the small toe.

Ghoul
The treacherous Ghoul prowls, hungering for human flesh. With wicked delight, he misleads travelers and children, feasting upon them when lost.

Hades
The Greek underworld bows to its ruler, Hades. With Persephone, his abducted queen beside him, he reigns with Cerberus, the fearsome three-headed hound, safeguarding the realm’s entrance.

Iblis
Islam’s embodiment of evil, Iblis can shape-shift at will, yet is often depicted with a donkey’s head and a peacock’s tail.

Imp
These minute demons, akin to Djinn, can be ensnared within bottles. Their allegiances fluctuate between light and dark, making them sought-after magical allies. Witches were often accused of nurturing them with blood.

Lucifer
Lucifer, the fallen angel, has become synonymous with the devil in Christian belief, representing defiance and pride.

Tase
From Burmese folklore come the Tase, demonic entities from the realm of the dead. They afflict the living with pestilence, their types differentiated by the nature of their deaths.

Tezcatlipoca
Aztec lore speaks of Tezcatlipoca, the underworld’s prince and the sovereign of witches.
