Pride demon

Pride demons are incredibly powerful demons, that are corrupted forms of wisdom and faith spirits. They are among the most powerful demons encountered in Thedas, and the most insidious.
Such is their strength that possessing a corpse doesn't produce another shambling warrior, but a respectively powerful revenant or arcane horror.

=== Dragon Age: Origins ===
* In the quest Asunder, the Fade beast lay dormant until the Warden assembles its body parts, at which point it will attempt to barter for its freedom.
* A powerful pride demon is encountered in Kinloch Hold when multiple abominations are unleashed within. Senior Enchanter Uldred attempted to summon and control the demon, but like many before him, he succumbed to the pride demon's will and became an abomination himself.
* During the Harrowing in the Mage Origin, a pride demon seems to make an appearance. While in the Fade, after the Spirit of Rage is defeated, Mouse will ask for help to leave the Fade. If the mage decides against it, Mouse will state that they "passed the true test" and will then transform into a pride demon.
=== Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening ===
* The Baroness reveals herself to be a dark pride demon, a more powerful variant of a pride demon.

== Abilities & Skills ==
=== Dragon Age: Origins ===
Note: While classified as demons by lore setting, Pride Demons are not counted as spellcasters / fade creatures in-game. Thus they are immune to spells like Mana Clash and most of their "spells" (with the exception of Mana Drain and Crushing Prison ) will bypass spell resistance , making Uldred and Baroness extremely dangerous on higher difficulties.

== Notes ==
* Revenants and arcane horrors can potentially be possessed by pride demons.
* Solas states in conversation that Wisdom is at least one spirit that can be twisted into a Pride Demon."Wisdom and Purpose are too easily twisted into Pride and Desire." —Solas Dialogue upon following the [Investigate] tree, "Tell me about yourself." His personal quest further solidifies this fact. 
* Faith is another spirit that Gaider has stated becomes a Pride Demon when corrupted.David Gaider (2013). Cole (Asunder): What kind of... [spoiler!]. The BioWare Forum.
