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, include the ability to possess bodies. (TV: Kinda, Snakedance)
- Fenric had many of the qualities associated with demons. (TV: The Curse of Fenric)
