A Demon is an evil creature in the mythology of the Humans. They are generally depicted as being humanoids with horns and magical powers.
The Dæmons are a race of advanced aliens from Dæmos. During their travels on Earth, they probably influenced the mythology of the native Humans. (DW: The Dæmons)
Melanicus, apparently a true demon, stole the Event Synthesizer and briefly warped the Universe into his personal toy. (DWM: The Tides of Tide)
The Destroyer was an entity from another universe who unwillingly served Morgaine. The Destroyer had a vulnerability 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 and Abaddon are both ancient individuals who were sealed away to protect the universe (in Krop Tor and the Cardiff Rift, respectively). (DW: The Satan Pit, TW: End of Days)
