Daemon

The **Daemons** (地下鬼デーモン, *Dēmon*) are mysterious, subterranean beings in the *Extermination* series, descended from ancient Demons and Devils.

## Description

### Cambions

**Cambions** (半妖鬼カンビオン, *Kanbion*) is a term used for human-daemon hybrids in the *Extermination* series. Currently, there are two known types of cambions: The first are children of humans and daemons, the most notably being the Pumaiyaton family of half-Daemons; and the second are people who have gone through **cambionization** (半鬼化, *Hanki-ka*), the process in which people transform into daemons, caused by the disease Daemosis, due to their synchronization being too low with their inhabited daemon.

### Vampyres

The **Vampyres** (吸血魔ヴァンパイア, *Vanpaia*) are the kin of Daemons, descending from the same Demons and Devils as them, the most notable being the Vampyre God Nosferatu and his progeny.

## Homeland

The Daemons live in the Underground. The Cocytus, Enosichthon and Jupyter Factions make up 70% of the forces of the Underground. The other 30% is comprised of smaller factions and other independent communities that exist outside of the factions.

## Ranking
