Category talk:Demons

The Torchwood website alludes to The Beast and possibly other entities like it when discussing Abaddon saying "Were there other creatures like it chained on planets throughout the universe?" The possibility that The Destroyer is related to Abaddon and The Beast has already been drawn but is it also possible that Horath and Sutekh are of the same group? --86.149.220.250 00:48, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Doubt it. One's a computer, the other's an Osirian psychopath. Neither are especially demonic. -<Azes13 01:36, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Maybe so but bear in mind that Sutekh was associated with Satan and was based on the character of Set, a demon from Egyptian mythology. --86.130.132.0 17:33, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * This category is for powerful, demonic beings, not just beings which pretend to be demons, are the inspiration for demons or are connected to demons (neither the Daemons or the Demoniacs are in this category).
 * In any case, Set wasn't a demon, he was god. Except for killing Osiris and stealing his penis, he didn't do anything especially demonic. -<Azes13 18:27, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Point taken but the Set from Eyptian mythology was most definitely a demon. He could change shape, he was the God of Chaos and he was a satanic character to the Egyptians. --86.130.132.0 23:01, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Evil he may be, but that's not the same as a demon.
 * Many gods could change shape. Many demons can't change shape. No connection really.
 * He was also a god of the colour red, foreigners, deserts, hippos, storms, turtles, donkeys and trade. Not especially demonic.
 * Since Set would help defend Ra everyday from the demon Apep and bring about the morning, no, the Egyptians didn't really think he was Satanic.

 * He did indeed protect Ra but then again, Lucifer was an Archangel. Set almost certainly originated as a benevolent deity but he went on to become demonised as gods often do. When I think of Set, I think of Melkor from The Silmarillion. I think of Apep as being like an Ungoliant character. Set's the ambitious villain, Apep's the gluttonous monster. --92.0.220.4 00:19, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
