Revision as of 06:08, 8 June 2013

Demons are unholy monsters from the infernal planes of Hell, Pandemonium and the Abyss. They range in difficulty from minor nuisances like the crimson imp to the mighty Greater Demons, and have a wide variety of powers. They can be brought into the world by summoning them, and they also appear in later levels of the Dungeon, especially the aforementioned infernal branches.

All demons are considered evil, and take damage from holy wrath branded weapons and Holy Word. Many gods award piety for destroying them. Makhleb and Xom may grant demonic servants to their worshipers.

In the ASCII version of Crawl, demons are represented by a numeral representing their tier level (1-5).

Demon List

Demons are divided in five tiers:

Tier-5 Demons

Tier-5 Demons are the weakest class of demons. They're common in the early dungeon, and are often summoned in droves by stronger creatures. Only starting characters should have trouble dealing with these. The imps can be summoned by using Call Imp.

  • 5 Crimson imp.png Crimson imp - A pesky little beast that blinks often and regenerates. Very difficult to pin down and kill, but otherwise fairly harmless.
  • 5 White imp.png White imp - Frosty little demons that have Throw Frost and a cold-flavoured melee attack. Watch your potions!

  • 4 Blue devil.png Blue devil - Flying devils that resist cold and poison, but are vulnerable to fire. They have no spells.
  • 4 Hellwing.png Hellwing - Skeletal demons that can raise the dead and teleport things (themselves or you).
