([[PROSE]]: ''[[Battlefield (novelisation)|Battlefield]]'')}}'''Demon''' was a broad term used by some cultures to refer to entities that were perceived as supernatural, but were not [[god]]s, [[ghost]]s, or [[Soul|spirits]]. Demons were commonly depicted as malevolent and as [[humanoid]]s with [[horn]]s, although the term could be applied more broadly on both accounts.
 Although some individuals were referred to exclusively as "demons", the term was often misapplied to entities of more mundane origins but whose powers made them appear nearly godlike to "lesser" beings — including the [[Dæmon]]s of [[Dæmos]] and a variety of alien powers who tried to conquer the [[Earth]] in pre-modern times.
