Demons

Demons are the unholy creatures that spawn from the Abyss, where it is said that the most evil of souls are cast. These creatures enjoy venturing across the threshold into the mortal world (usually through various means but often through summoning) and meddling in the affairs of humans.
Most are openly hostile to humanity in general, along with other creatures, but some chose to instead interact with humanity through trades. "I'll do something for you, if you do something for me." Often these trades carry heavy prices. Don't make deals with demons unless you can bear the price.
Demons can also mate with humans, creating half-demon hybrids. These hybrids are called Cambion. Demons are also able to have children with one another, and the Princes of the Abyss as well as the Demon King can turn humans into demons. Demons can also have children with Angels, but this is extremely rare. These children are called Gibborim.
There are some demons that refuse to act in the same manner as their brethren, opting for what most would consider more holy and good ideals. They refuse to do evil, and are thus considered Ascended Demons.
The standard way of dealing with demons is usually by exorcising the demon from their vessel, if they have possessed a human, and banishing them back to the Abyss. Iron can be used to bind demons, as well as kill them outright. Magic can also be used, as well as divine spells from the Church.
