List of theological

demons

This is a list of demons that appear in

religion, theology, demonology,
mythology, and folklore. It is not a list
of names of demons, although some
are listed by more than one name.

The list of fictional demons includes

those from literary fiction with
theological aspirations, such as Dante's
Inferno. Because numerous lists of
legendary creatures concern
mythology, folklore, and folk fairy tales,
much overlap may be expected.
