## History

### Creation

Demons are one of the three main species that inhabit Alrasid and were the first to exist alongside Svjetlo following him founding the nation. After Svjetlo had created the upper demons to assist him, he began meddling with creating other, less powerful life forms that were not necessarily connected with him in any way. Incidentally they began taking on the features of animals that he encountered with Zelig whilst exploring the world they had been thrown into. He subconsciously took inspiration from their natural designs and implemented them into his own subjects.

### Evolution

As he continued creating, the species that he had already completed had begun mixing with one another and creating new hybrids. Each seemed to fall into a class beneath one of the uppers, hence Svjetlo beginning to sort them. They took on more animalistic features as they grew closer to nature, and their demon forms slowly shifted from being shapeless (like Svjetlo's) to being concrete images of various animals. Subsequently, their skillsets began revolving around the animal that they mimicked as well.

## Diet

Unlike other beings in Lore, demons are required to eat their food alive. Whether it's simply bread or an animal. Despite the fact that demons are able to taste and greatly enjoy food, it does not sustain them. They rely on life force to continuously survive. The life force provided in things such as pastries, bread, and vegetarian dishes are offered by the life force from The God of Death through the dissolving ash into the water that is then used to water the crops.

Demons are not picky in their food and will try almost anything, however only food from Alrasid is able to keep them alive.

## Abilities

The abilities that a demon has depends on the species that they mimic, for example, a bat demon would be able to echolocate, a fox demon would simply be a more powerful kitsune, and snake demons would be able to produce venom in their bite. All demons have the ability to shift from a human-like form into one that is pure animal. They are also able to "warp" themselves short distances.

## Names

Demons are commonly named after a trait of theirs, either by what they represent (Mammon - the embodiment of greed) or what they are (Ormr - serpent). Otherwise their names commonly mean "darkness" "shadows" or "evil".
