Version 0.24: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

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 additional 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, tiered demons are represented by a numeral representing their tier level (1-5). More powerful demons are represented by an ampersand (&).
