Demons

**Demons** (鬼 *Oni*) are evil creatures who enjoy using their power to torment, torture, and/or kill those who are weaker than themselves. In the *Dragon Ball* series, demons usually are humanoid-shaped, bulky, gray/green/blue, and have three toes on each foot. Many of them live in the Demon Realm, though there have been known types of Demons to originate from other places.

## Overview

### Demon Realm Race

Demon Realm is a dimension that parallels in alignment with the main universe as it sits underneath it, like the bottom side of a coin. Demon Realm is separate from the universe as it sits, being at the very tip end of the bottom of the cosmos of Universe 7.

Inhabitants of this realm are especially cruel and violent, and delight in the suffering of others. Curiously however, many powerful Demons who spawn from Demon Realm have a habit of demonstrating a keen sense of honor and respect power above all else.

Extremely powerful and villainous members of this race can achieve a state known as **Demon God**, a powerful transformation that allows them to achieve evil more terrible feats of destruction and evil.

### Kings of the Demon World

Occasionally, there are Core People who are born evil. Those delinquent Core Person are cast into the Demon Realm and ruled by Demon Supreme Kai, where they live with the King of the Demon Realm and are secluded from civilizations.

### Devils

Devils are a race indigenous to Hell, though a distinction is made that not all life-forms from Hell are called Devils, only this specific race. They typically resemble cartoonish depictions of the Devil in Abrahamic literature with horns, wings, and spiked tails. They are typically seen in service to inhabitants of Demon Realm, though there are some rare exceptions where Devils have been loyal to individuals who align themselves toward the side of Good.

### Demon Clans

Demon Clans are a name utilized to describe an offshoot group of a species who have become evil, separating in distinction from the rest of their race in how evil they have become. Members of a race who become evil enough to spawn a Demon Clan typically manifest new abilities as a result of their wickedness, such as an ability to prevent a person's spirit from passing on to the Other World and force them to remain in the realm of the Living, or to even birth mutant offspring with the same wickedness in them. Some changes can even cause an intolerance to sunlight or other such weaknesses. Thought if an individual who loses their evil attributes, they will cease to be a Demon Clansmen

### Majins

The progenitor for the Majin race, Majin Buu has existed since time immemorial - the origins for how he came into existence are unknown. Eventually, Buu decided to fall and created himself a lover in the form of a female fission named Miss Buu. Together the two would then conceive children that would come to spawn an entire culture of Majins that are predicted to be a full species by Age 1000.

While originally spawned from a creature who was pure evil and delighted in wanton destruction across the cosmos, members of the Majin race are typically very friendly, jovial, and good spirited. Most of them are good natured and kind-hearted but in rare cases, members of the Majin race can possess more violent and evil natures. Interestingly, they often usually demonstrate child-like levels of intelligence but can easily attain higher levels of intellect.

Curiously, no Majins have been seen demonstrating their progenitor's ability to absorb individuals and attain their traits or characteristics since the race's conception.

### Ogres

The Ogres that appear in the seen amongst the world are reminiscent akin to something of a mix between a demon and a troll. Often large and bulky in stature and resembling the creatures of the same name in Japanese Mythology, Ogres are used by King Yemma to maintain order in the Afterlife, while smaller Ogres assist in office work in Yemma's facilities.
