Demon

A Demon was an evil creature in the mythology of the humans, although similar deities appeared in the religions of races such as the Kaleds and the Draconians. (DW: The Satan Pit) They were generally depicted as being humanoids, often with horns.

Self-Described Demons

 * The Destroyer was an entity from another universe who unwillingly served Morgaine. The Destroyer was vulnerable to silver, which enabled Morgaine to chain him with manacles made of it. When shot with silver bullets fired by Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, the Destroyer was apparently killed. (DW: Battlefield)


 * The Beast (DW: The Impossible Planet / The Satan Pit) and his son Abaddon (TW: End of Days) were ancient beings from the previous universe who were sealed away to protect the current universe.
 * Abaddon also fought another demon who resembled him, Pwccm. (TWN: The Twilight Streets)


 * The Destroyer, The Beast and Abaddon all share similarities. All three fit the depiction of demons and the Destroyer said he wished to "devour" Earth. Abaddon has the alternative name of "the Destroyer".

Evil Entities

 * The Mara had some of the powers of demons, include the ability to possess bodies. (DW: Kinda, Snakedance)
 * Fenric had many of the qualities associated with demons. (DW: The Curse of Fenric)
 * The Master was seen to humans as a demon when his form was comprised solely of energy. He used demonic powers such as possession to find new hosts for his dying form. (ST: Prologue)

Similar Beings

 * An unnamed entity from a Shadow Dimension was hired by the alien Hornets to trap the Doctor and drain his mind of all his knowledge. The entity's appearance and frequent need to drain the life force of humans to sustain itself made the Fourth Doctor call it a Demon. (AG: Demon Quest)
