Virtually all religions & cultures have various supernatural spirits that are considered malevolent or even evil.
This page was created as a study of how different religions of the world personify “evil.” Throughout this section, you’ll find lists of demon names and descriptions of different demons, devils, monsters, and evil spirits.
Note: What is “evil” is often defined by a specific belief system. One religion’s gods become another religion’s demons – especially as Christianity became dominant and demonized pagan or foreign gods and goddesses.
Below, you will find some criteria I used to decide whether to include a demon or monster on this list:
Demons and Fallen Angels associated with the Judeo-Christian Devil (either with biblical writings, non-canonical writings, or Christian fictional works like Dante’s Inferno, John Milton’s Paradise Lost, or the many Faust Myths)
The spirit is considered a demon because it is included in a list of demons by a demonologist of the 14th -19th centuries (such as the Pseudomonarchia daemonum (1583) or Dictionnaire Infernal (1863)) or is included in a magickal text (e.g. the Goetia)
If a god or goddess is associated with death, involved in the annual fertility rituals of the harvest, or is a caretaker of the underworld, I have included them.
Some gods and goddesses are known for having a destructive side when angered. They may kill, drink blood, or cause havoc for entertainment.
Some belief systems like the Mayans and Native Americans thought that the destructive elements of nature were gods that needed to be appeased or sacrificed to.
The trickster is a supernatural entity who is mischievous and often causes trouble. A trickster might be a god or associated with animals like Ravens and Coyotes.
