Demonology: A-E List of Demon Names, Devils, & Evil Spirits

Virtually all religions & cultures have various supernatural entities that are considered malevolent or even evil. In some cultures, these may be simply forces of nature like hurricanes. Sometimes they are entities with capabilities for destruction such as fertility gods/goddesses. And in some belief systems, they are evil spirits hellbent on making one's life miserable.

This page was created as a study in world perceptions of "evil." Throughout this section, you'll find lists of demon names and descriptions of different demons/devils/evil spirits. I realize that some of these "demons" can be considered gods or mythological beings. I've chosen those I found to demonstrate the trickster archetype or have been described as possessing "evil" traits in a predominant belief system. Visit the Demon FAQ for more info on my philosophy behind the classifications.

Below, are the names of demons and destructive entities that can bring harm or destruction to individuals as well as articles on general demonology.
