'''Demons''' are a class of [[monster]] mostly found in [[Gehennom]]. The class is not synonymous with the monsters represented by the {{white|&}} symbol: the [[riders]] and [[djinn]] are not demons (although NetHack itself is inconsistent on this point; asking for information on a rider will identify it as a "Major Demon"), and the {{white|i}} class is comprised of '''minor demon'''s.  The [[mail daemon]] is technically a member of this class, but is not generally viewed as an actual monster.

On [[NetHackWiki]], '''"demon"''' may refer to any of the following [[monster]]s in ''[[NetHack]]'' and some of its variants:
  
Although minor demons are not a significant threat, major demons are quite strong opponents, and can summon other major demons (with the exceptions of [[balrog|balrogs]], [[incubus|incubi]] and [[succubus|succubi]]). Sacrificing your own race can summon a demon lord, as can angering your god when on an altar (by [[pray]]ing with negative alignment, or [[pray]]ing too often, amongst other effects) if you are chaotic.

* The [[minor demon]]s, which are all part of the imp or minor demon [[monster class]], but are not considered actual demons.
 
+
* The [[major demon]]s, which are defined as demons by the <code>M2_DEMON</code> flag and <code>is_demon</code> function.
The minor demons are:
+
* The [[Demon (monster class)|demon]] monster class, which all the major demons are part of.
* {{red|i}}, [[manes]]
+
* The [[Demon (monster)|demon]] monster that is present in older versions of ''NetHack'', from [[Hack 1.0]] to [[NetHack 3.0.10]], and also appears in [[EvilHack]] and [[Hack'EM]].

{{disambig}}
* {{red|i}}, [[imp]]s
 
* {{blue|i}}, [[quasit]]s
 
* {{cyan|i}}, [[tengu]]
 
 
 
The ordinary major demons are:
 
* {{blue|&}}, [[water demon]]s
 
* {{brown|&}}, [[horned devil]]s
 
* {{gray|&}}, [[foocubi|succubi & incubi]]
 
* {{red|&}}, [[erinys|erinyes]]

* {{white|&}}, [[ice devil]]s
 
* {{red|&}}, [[nalfeshnee]]s
 
* {{red|&}}, [[pit fiend]]s
 
* {{red|&}}, [[balrog]]s
 
 
 
== Unique demons and summoning==
 
 
 
The named demons are divided into two ranks: the lower '''demon lords''', and the higher '''demon princes'''.
 
 
 
The demon lords are:
 
 
 
* {{brightgreen|&}}, [[Juiblex]]
 
* {{magenta|&}}, [[Yeenoghu]]
 
 
 
The demon princes are:
 
 
 
* {{magenta|&}}, [[Orcus]]
 
* {{magenta|&}}, [[Geryon]]
 
* {{magenta|&}}, [[Dispater]]
 
* {{magenta|&}}, [[Baalzebub]]
 
* {{magenta|&}}, [[Asmodeus]]
 
* {{magenta|&}}, [[Demogorgon]]
 
 
 
Every major demon has a 1/13 chance of summoning another major demon each turn. The difference between demons, demon lords, and demon princes lies in which other demons they can summon, and how often. See the [http://www.nethack.de/spoiler/demon_summoning.txt Demon summoning spoiler] for details.
 
 
 
== Nemesis demons==
 
There are two [[quest nemesis]] demons.  They can not be summoned by other demons.  They can cast [[summon nasties]], but since they are outside of Gehennom, will probably not summon other demons.
 
* {{red|&}}, The [[Minion of Huhetotl]], the [[Archeologist]] quest nemesis
 
* {{red|&}}, [[Nalzok]], the [[Priest]] quest nemesis
