A '''Demon''' is an evil creature in the mythology of the [[Human]]s, although similar [[god|deities]] have appeared in the religions of races such as the [[Kaled]]s and the [[Draconian]]s ([[DW]]: ''[[The Satan Pit]]''). They are generally depicted as being [[humanoid]]s, often with horns. | |||
==Demonic beings== | |||
===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. | |||
:''[[The Destroyer]], [[The Beast]] and [[Abaddon]] all share similarities. All three fit the depiction of demons and the Destroyer said he wished to "devour" [[Earth]]. Abaddon has the alternative name of "the Destroyer".'' | |||
===Evil entities=== | |||
*The [[Mara]] had some of the powers of demons, include the ability to possess bodies. ([[DW]]: ''[[Kinda (TV story)|Kinda]]'', ''[[Snakedance]]'') | |||
*[[Fenric]] had many of the qualities associated with demons. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric]]'') | |||
==Similar beings== | |||
*The [[Dæmon]]s were a race of advanced [[alien]]s from [[Dæmos]]. During their travels on [[Earth]], they probably influenced the mythology of the native Humans. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Dæmons]]'') | |||
*[[Melanicus]], a being resembling the medieval conception of a demon, stole the [[Event Synthesizer]] and briefly warped the [[Universe]] into his personal toy. ([[DWM]]: ''[[The Tides of Tide]]'') | |||
==References== | |||
*In the court of [[King]] [[John of England]], [[Fifth Doctor|the Doctor]], [[Tegan]] and [[Turlough]] found themselves mistaken for demons due to their "magical [[TARDIS|transportation]]". ([[DW]]: ''[[The King's Demons]]'') | |||
*[[Cult of Demnos|Demnos]] is an anagram for ''demons''. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Masque of Mandragora]]'') | |||
