But despite that, they commonly retain their general form but with some additions; horns, claws, fangs, and tail are common, as are wings, more fit (muscular and/or larger) body and color change (red, blue or black dominate).

## Description

Demon Yokai are the complete opposite of the Angel Yokai. While angels are considered to be pure and innocent, demons are considered to be evil and mischievous. They were created from humans who had done many evil deeds when they were alive. The way they died varies from a natural cause to an accident or even the death penalty in some cases.

## Pop Culture

Demons are prevalent historically in religion, occultism, literature, fiction, mythology, and folklore; as well as in media such as comics, video games, movies, anime, and television series. Often depicted as being evil spirits who wants to create mischief and chaos among the humans. Every mythology has their own version of what a demon looks like. It could be similar or very different from one another. There's even a study called demonology which is the study of demons. Most popular depiction of the demon is in Christianity. In Christianity, demons are corrupted spirits carrying the execution of Satan's desires. While some people fear demons, or attempt to exorcise them, others willfully attempt to summon them for knowledge, assistance, or power. The ceremonial magician usually consults a grimoire, which gives the names and abilities of demons as well as detailed instructions for conjuring and controlling them.

## Variations

### Lesser Devil Yokai

Lesser Devils are devils that have the bodies of humans in their childhood. Lesser Devils have small wings and bodies that are comparable with children, even though Lesser Devils can be fully grown in actuality. Lesser Devils usually use their petite bodies to get away with affording things at children admissions rates.

### Greater Devil Yokai

Greater Devils are devils that have the bodies of humans in their late teens. Despite the name, Greater Devils are not matured Lesser Devils, but rather their own Devil class. They enjoy dressing in human fashion and venturing into the city at night to play rather malicious pranks.

However, because their actual age is much greater than their apparent age, much like Lesser Devils, they can be out of touch with fashion trends popular among younger people.

### Elder Devil Yokai

Elder Devils are devils that have the bodies of humans in their adulthood. Appearing even older than Greater Devils, they are the voluptuous/highest class of Devil, and boasts the largest average wingspan.

Though it's unclear if it's because of their older apparent age, Elder Devils have the longest lifespans of all Devil species, and it's not uncommon for members to live several centuries. It might have to do with the their extremely long lifespans, but Elder Devils are quite calm and composed, and are beyond playing pranks.

### Succubus Yokai

Succubi are a devil subspecies that can be similar in appearance to Lesser, Greater or Elder Devils but lack devil horns, posses a Womb Tattoo-like marking on their lower stomach, and possess a prominent interest in sex and all things sexual.

Religious traditions in human culture hold that Succubi live by sustaining themselves on “life energy" stolen through sexual intercourse and that repeated sexual activity with a Succubus may result in the deterioration of health or mental state, or even death. While whether this is true or not is unknown, Succubi culture is entirely rooted around the act of sexual intercourse; with the desire for sex, fornication and pleasure forming the basis of their cultural thinking and moral values, and as a result they are an extremely lustful and openly lascivious race. Not only are they physically beautiful, everything from their gestures to their voices will charm an individual and inflame lust. Their techniques for seducing and pleasing men and women alike are highly valued and are in some ways more effective than raw fighting abilities.

### Baphomet Yokai

Baphomets are a demihuman species with goat-like attributes in similar vein to Satyrs and Pan Fauns but with the addition of raven wings.

Closely linked with occultism or outright Satanism throughout history, since the 1800's the species has been associated as members of the Hierarchy of Hell and as such their image has been imprinted as the official symbol of the Church of Satan. Baphomets are always crossed with pentagrams.

## Life in the Hidden World

Most Demon Yokai lives in the Scarlet Domain, the ROTTMNT's version of Hell. But in recent years many demons have come to live in the Hidden World for various reasons. They can take on any form. Though they maintain having the common features of a demon like the horns on their heads, fangs, claws, tail and wings. Demon Yokai are separated into three groups:

Physical Demons aren't necessarily solid matter, but they are material/energy beings with relatively defined/stable form and often at least somewhat human-like mind. Most users that aren't originally of demonic stock have this variation. Note that demons of this group aren't necessarily any weaker than those of the other groups, they are simply more "solid" in mind and body.

Spiritual Demons are spiritual beings, and thus far less bound to the laws of physics or single form. Many of them think in ways that are only tangentially relatable to humans, and their forms are both transient and often downright surreal.

Nether Demons are often both the most powerful and ancient demons, in some ways closer to sentient concepts than anything else. As such, relating to them in any way is likely impossible.

## Symbolism

The most common symbols of the demon are the number 666, upside down cross, the pentagram, and sulfur crosses just to name a few. There are many symbols that are commonly found in occultism.
