Changes: Demon

Revision as of 11:44, 24 April 2020

This article needs a big cleanup.

I don't think the word "demon", or even "Dæmon", appears in The Satan Pit. I'm not 100% if "evil" is either, but the description of the Kaled god of war and Earth, Dæmos and Draconia's "horned beasts" in Pit absolutely doesn't use any variant of "evil creature" or "evil god". Are devils and fallen angels even considered "gods"? They're almost certainly not in real-world Judeo-Christian religions. The Dæmons uses the term "demon" but barely and in no depth beyond the context of the Dæmos species of Dæmons.

These problems might be so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Talk about it here or check the revision history or Manual of Style for more information.

Demons appeared in the religions of races such as the Kaleds and the Draconians. (TV: The Satan Pit)

Demonic beings

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. (TV: Battlefield)

The Beast called himself the influence for all devils in all mythologies. (TV: The Impossible Planet)

The Beast's son Abaddon was an ancient being sealed behind the Cardiff Rift. (TV: End of Days) Abaddon also fought another demon who resembled him, Pwccm. (PROSE: The Twilight Streets)

Evil entities

The Mara had some of the powers of demons, including the ability to possess bodies. (TV: Kinda, Snakedance)

Fenric had many of the qualities associated with demons. (TV: 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. (PROSE: Prologue)

Similar beings

The Dæmons were a race of advanced aliens from Dæmos. During their travels on Earth, they probably influenced the mythology of the native humans. (TV: The Dæmons) They themselves had a figure in their mythology similar to the Beast. (TV: The Satan Pit)

Deemon was a servant of Grekk, an evil genius left behind to stir up war for the "Sons of Grekk" against the Crustians. (PROSE: The Sons of Grekk)

Melanicus, a being resembling the medieval conception of a demon, stole the Event Synthesizer and briefly warped the universe into his personal toy. (COMIC: The Tides of Time)

Marchosias, a gestalt manifestation of the Psionovores, took the form of an eight-foot tall bright red demon when "summoned" as an agent of Lucifer by Brigham Elisha Dashwood III and the Hellfire Club. (AUDIO: Minuet in Hell)

An 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. (AUDIO: Demon Quest)

References

The Captain, apparent ruler of Zanak, frequently swore by the sky demon. (TV: The Pirate Planet)

In the court of King John of England (actually Kamelion), the Fifth Doctor, Tegan and Turlough found themselves mistaken for demons due to their "magical transportation". (TV: The King's Demons)

Demnos was an anagram for demons. (TV: The Masque of Mandragora)
