Self-described demons
- 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 (DW: The Impossible Planet / The Satan Pit) and his son Abaddon (TW: End of Days) were ancient individuals who were sealed away to protect the universe.
