Demons are unholy monsters from the infernal planes of Hell, Pandemonium and the Abyss. They range in difficulty from minor nuisances like the 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).

Hierarchy

Demons are divided into five tiers:

  • 5 Tier-5 demons - The weakest demons. Not a challenge except for characters starting out.
  • 4 Tier-4 demons - Some of the most common demons.
  • 3 Tier-3 demons - A category that includes mostly average demons, with a couple of troublesome exceptions.
  • 2 Tier-2 demons - These usually have very dangerous abilities, although thankfully they don't tend to be terribly resilient.
  • 1 Tier-1 demons - The deadliest of demons, these generally require considerable effort to bring down.
