Demon

Demons are evil fae that take all manner of forms. They are found all over the world and have been given many names. Their chief goal is torment and chaos.
Demons attack people and spirits in a variety of ways.
# Heckling: mockery, whispered lies, and dark thoughts
# Infestation: haunting home, objects, etc.
# Temptation: persuasion to do harmful things
# Pain: physical pain
# Oppression and Obsession: sudden and oppressive temptation, irrational obsessive thoughts, or thoughts of suicide; influence of dreams, nightmares; causing lesions, phantom claw marks. Stronger infestation, interfering with surroundings, dark influence contagious to others nearby. Requires the smallest opening or a weakness to give them a door in. Semi-control. Akin to pushing (rather than indwelling). An otherwise aurally strong and protected person can be oppressed.
# Possession
# Subjugation: willing service of a demon or willing possession
To enter homes, demons are bound to ask for permission to enter and they employ all kinds of trickery and devilry to procure that. Salt is a common substance used to keep demons at bay, as they can't cross over a line of it at any height. Holy water will burn their physical form and they have an aversion to relics. Amulets and talismans used to ward spirits can be employed to ward demons as well.
The physical form of a demon can be reduced (which it can still transform) or destroyed, but its spirit must be banished or annihilated or else it may gather enough power to form its body again.
Demons present the strongest forms of possession, imparting their vast knowledge to the possessed, but causing them to speak and swear in languages unknown to the person. The speech is usually scattered and disjointed, always chaotic and violent. The victims voice is greatly altered to be otherworldly. Demons can also transfigure the body they possess and even manifest their own form through the victim's body. They almost always give their victims a supernatural strength (and only toughskin to their liking), but they will also cause the victim to use their body in ways that benefits them but harms the body: they will break through chains or doors, climb and fall from heights, fight madly without abandon, convulse, writhe, and bite and hit themselves. Scratches and bites will appear on the victim's skin (even through toughskin) without any contact with beasts.
When a demon possesses a being, it demanifests its physical form, which it can form again or integrate with its victim's body.
Demons have strong tutelary tendencies, exacting almost as much tribute as tutelars themselves, but using their physical bodies to influence, move, and subjugate people as well.
