Demonic Species and Characters

Due to the malleable and ultimately infinite variations that Saccharomyces Demonica can take in creating a demon, a classification system is near impossible. The following is a list of observed demons on Welt.

## Lunar Demons

### The Speaker

Possibly the most important character on the Lightbringer Moon, the speaker is an uploaded consciousness that served Powers during the settling stages of the moon, became the leader of a rebellion against Powers rule over the moon. He was imprisoned by Powers inside the miniature sun that orbits Lightbringer. He built the Spirit Bringer that warps spirits from Welt to the moon.

In modern times, the rank of speaker in the Demonic hierarchy is attributed to the king of demons, who loses its previous name and title in the ascension.

### Renegade Generals

Former followers of the Speaker and inhabitants of the Underworld of Lightbringer. They are loyal to neither the Speaker nor Powers. Some of them underwent a radical biological transformation to become the Yeast. These are the most common demons that attempt to return to Welt.

## Demonic Species

### Typhon, the Monster breeders

*Main Article: Typhon (Demon)*

Typhon are proliferous demons who love creating new species of creatures and animals.

### Bloody Mary

An incompetent demon that is trapped within a mirror, when it tries to possess someone it kills the victim. Only some mirrors can contain these demons. If the demon is kept from its mirror for a whole day, it dies. However, if the mirror is broken with the demon inside, the mirror breaker is possessed by the demon for 7 years then dies. The demon feeds on eyes and blood.

### Witchmaster

A demon deity that died upon a mountaintop and turned to stone. A castle was constructed of the stone and became a place of pilgrimage for those wishing demonic powers. The castle was the origin of gargoyles and many witch powers. The dark god was known as the witchmaster, a demon that gives its powers to those who practice witchcraft or faycraft. He gave power to the evil queen and the maleficent faerie.

#### **Dark Faerie**

Servant of the Witchmaster. She can turn into a dragon, create a wall of thorns, control a horde of impish brutes. she was defeated by an enchanted sword. Used to be a faerie and ruled the castle that was her masters. On witches night walpurgis, witches went to the mountain and danced around a fire with the impish servants of the dark god. Her castle serves as a resting point before ascending the mountain.

### Luminescent biomass

A colony of Yeast found at the bottom of the sea nearby Ecstacity. The Dalmer would later extract Essence from the Luminescent Biomass and with it develop powers. The biomass does not seem to be an entity but rather a colony without set personalities.

### Mangler

Mangle, the demon created from the ritual is a possessed Mangle. To summon a Mangle, nightshade berries, a bat, and dalmer blood must be placed in the machines press. Usually the heat of the other laundry machines gives sufficient heat to the yeast for it to activate.

Once summoned, a mangle will give the summoner its conditions. The summoner must let the mangler feed upon one of its body parts, in order for the demon to have a piece of the summoner inside it. In return the demon will give the summoner powers transferred via the yeast it injects in the summoners bloodstream as the demon hungrily “devours” the appendage by crushing it in its press.

The most common incident regarding Manglers is summoners cutting off an appendage to avoid the mangler eating it, doing this is useless as it will not result in the summoner receiving the Manglers power.

In greater numbers, a more powerful summon can cause the Mangler to “wring out” demons from between its presses, bringing them into Welt.

The first instance of the demon was in an industrial press recounted in the following story (The Mangler by Stephen King).

### Bloodline

A demon that deals newborns to royal families, ensuring their descendance. This type of demon usually finds childless noble families whose line of succession is in peril. Offering its services as a Childmonger to the family, it then goes to impoverished households with newborns and offers the families untold riches (which is often left than the noble familiy’s reward) in exchange for the child.

The demon then tangles a web of political intrigue and keeps a register of its dealings, known as the Leabhar. The book of bloodlines is a genealogy of all the people the Bloodline has had dealings with, an incredibly dangerous book for the ruling elite.

When the demon became too powerful, the families had to keep him appeased. When one family tried to cheat the system in place (by stealing the Leabhar), the nobles destroyed the family and any trace of its existence to preserve the secret of their origins. When the secret came out, the nobility system was overthrown as popular revolutions sprung up everywhere, eliminating the monarchy in a matter of days.

One instance of a Bloodline demon was Rumplestiltskin.

### Wicker Demon

An island of fertility demon worshippers. They require victims to be burned in a wicker man in order to be invoked. The more guile displayed by the worshippers the happier the deity is.

### Fertility Demon

A creature that emits radiation that causes asexual reproduction in its victims.

### Trawler

A sea captain finds an island where he learns to summon sea demons, with whom he pactizes in exchange for constant miraculous catches. In exchange the demons wish to reproduce with the fishers to bolster their dwindling numbers.

### Smoke Demon

Smoke demons can be captured and placed in ship sails to make them fly. The ritual includes capturing the demon in a coconut cut in half where a star map made of small punched holes is crafted on the top half. The coconut must then be fired from a canon into the main sail of the ship. The ship can then fly much like a pegasus sail.

An island where a smoke demon stops people from leaving (lost, ouat). The smoke demon stops the inhabitants from leaving. The demon needs young people on the island in order to survive.

The demon cannot take anyone to its island unless the victim willingly gives the demon their hand. The demon has fire extinguishing powers, as it fears any fire near it.

### Kramers demon

A demon whose powers are granted to people who make people face and overcome their fears, lest they lose their lives in the process. (ex: It is the demon, John kramer is his henchman).

### Legionnaires

Classical cloven hoofed, horned tall muscular humanoids with burning eyes and malicious intent. These demons are known as Legionnaires, as they have a strict hierarchy in their realm. Titles are important for them, they are as much a rank as part of their identity. Their breastplates depict the Speaker, who they believe will return to lead them, in the meantime they train and prepare for conflict.

They supposedly have a way to arrive in Welt. a gateway that appears every thirteenth full moon that bridges the gap between Welt and the underworld, and it is during these brief moments that the Legionnaires can come to this place.

### Oblitian

Their bodies resemble massive lizards, with six powerful limbs (four legs, similar in nature to the hybrid races, such as the centaur and the dryads.), a tail, and wings sprouting from their backs (the wings are vestigial and occasionally used for defense, pit lords are far too heavy to fly). Their upper torsos are more humanoid, with a large chest, two arms and a large horned head. Their mouths are filled with rows of teeth, their eyes are on fire and even their tongues are studded with fangs. Oblitian blood is used to forge blood-pacts.When the giver of blood is killed, the pact it had forged is broken and thus the parties are freed from demonic corruption. However the parties rarely survive the encounter.

### Tharon

Demonic vampires who are masters of deceit and guile. Excellent tacticians, they are also paranoid beyond measure, living in heavily fortified lairs and guarded at all times. They are also manipulators, and are known entokinetics and hypnokinetics, which they power through blood magic. The Tharon have a politically-centered culture with an emphasis on codes of conduct (ie. forbidding the killing of each other). The Tharon serve as both the tacticians and field commanders in times of war.

These demons are the embodiment of manipulation and treachery, turning entire nations against each other from the shadows. They are known to continue the Speaker's work, finding creatures to turn into monsters.

The more popular classes of Tharon serve as laborers, researchers, businessmen, and debt collectors, particularly in constructing and selling infernals.

They slave away with mining picks and in magical laboratories with a nearly single-minded common goal of filling the demand for infernals. The Tharon were never expansionistic or military-minded, but they share a unique bond with the Nether and an unmatched greed for gold and magic items. The bond enables them to infuse fiery constructs with yeast power, and they have used their ability to establish themselves as a dominant force in the lunar hierarchy.

A gray ore known as fel stone litters the Nether. It functions as a conduit for entropic energies. The Tharon mine the ore and shape it to create shells that channel the energy. The results are fiery infernals. The Tharon craft them and their greed drives them to sell their constructs to whoever will pay the price they demand. The Tharon have many businesses and are organized, businesslike and undiscerning. They’ll offer a contract for infernal summoning to anyone who is capable of paying. The tothrezim accept any form of payment. They take gold, gems, jewels and especially magic items. Clients are billed every few weeks and payment is expected immediately. One of the collectors teleports or plane shifts to the client's location. Those who dodge their obligations or attempt to hide from scrying attempts, through nondetection or similar magic, are dealt with harshly. They usually have four specialized collection teams usually consisting of: one tracker who serves as scout and spy; two enforcers, and one of whom serves as group leader; and three stalkers.

### Amdus

A demon resembling a Halfunicorn, trumpet musician. Distinguished by a horse's mane made of bone. Possesses a tome of sheet music, which can summon tornadoes, bolts of lightning and pillars of fire from ripping pages from the book.

The Demon can be summoned by placing the alchemical symbol of sulfur in a consecrated building. When alchemical symbols are placed, can hurl fire at the targets. This is how it collects souls. When it has enough souls, it acts as a hell gate.

In order to gain its favor, an entire concert of its music must be listened to. The concert is a choir of ghostly Amdus all playing various pieces of music (mostly instrumental heavy metal and melodic death metal). The concert is incredibly dangerous, floods, thunderstorms, tornadoes and meteors all take place during the concert. The concert ends with the Amdus giving an extravagant trumpet solo which often causes ear damage in a wide radius.

### Ulmonath

A demon whose nourishment comes from anguish, and employs three groups, the sisters, the matrons, and the pipers. They respectively nourish the demon by provoking heartbreak, fear and mourning. These three groups possess golden masks to communicate with each other.

### Allmomoth

A demon whose condition is to read its book. Once read, the demon will be summoned, hiding in dark areas to feed off fear. All of the demon's actions are predicted in the book two days in advance, making it quite manageable if used correctly.

### Thastroth

A demon that attacks people in crisis with a bat, the demon would start the jigsaw cult, where people are tortured to better their lives. The demon was a victim of a home invasion and was forced to kill to escape. Later in life he would punish those who were untouched by tragedy under his crooked bat persona, and even later become the leader of the Jigsaw.

### Angelus Anthropomorphis Titanus ultra

More like demons from the moon rather than angels, they periodically attack Welt. These gigantic humanoids are 99.99% genetically identical to humans. their arrival and motives are unknown, but it is theorized to either be to release their kind captured by the Dalmer, reset life on the planet, or to destroy all life. Their powers are plentiful, the ability to create force fields, levitate, to project energy, and to detonate energy cores their arsenal is as deadly as their regeneration makes them hard to kill.

### Glassgew

A demon who appears as a woman with slashed cheeks in an enormous smile. she asks if she is beautiful. there is no right answer, yes means becoming the next vessel for the demon (who reproduces by slashing the face of its victims), no means death. the only escape is offering hard candy that the demon cannot consume due to lacking cheeks and escaping. haunt bus stops and train stations. Only women are concerned with death or becoming the demon, male victims becomes violent face painted anarchists.

These demons are created from botched surgery, jealous and/or adulterous partners. these creatures are so prolific they warrant a homestaying alert for children and supplementary police patrols in sighting areas.

### Manananggal

Demonic creature, a self segmenting viscera sucking beast. the creature resembles a humanoid female that separates its upper body from the lower, and flies on batwing arms to find prey. it uses its long tongue to find an entrance to the victim via a facial orifice, and eat the phlegm, liver, intestines, heart, lungs and even foetuses. To prevent the creatures return to its normal self during the day, ash, salt and other spices must be placed in the lower segment before its return. Manananggal typically hide their lower body segments in plantations during the night.

they are created when a woman eats animal flesh or eggs that has been bitten by a Manananggal. the curse can be removed if the stomach is purged of infection (which manifests as an egg shaped tumor in the stomach cavity). the egg can be removed from the woman via pinata technique, fumigation or forced regurgitation.

the Manananggal can also be defeated by conventional weapons. the spread of the phenomenon is thought to be related to a mosquito transmitted disease.

### Reaper

Can transfer life energy from one person to another, killing one to save another. Can be enslaved by a black spell placed upon a silver cross. Families sometimes keep them enslaved for generations to keep themselves healthy, however letting it loose is often fatal to the entire bloodline.
