'''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, and the {{white|i}} class is comprised of '''minor demon'''s.

On [[NetHackWiki]], '''"demon"''' may refer to any of the following [[monster]]s in ''[[NetHack]]'' and some of its variants:
  
Demons are quite strong opponents, and can summon other 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.
* [[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]].

The named demons are divided into two ranks: demon lords and demon princes.  
 
 
 
Demon Lords:
 
 
 
* [[Juiblex]]
 
* [[Yeenoghu]]
 
 
 
Demon Princes:
 
 
 
* [[Asmodeus]]
 
* [[Baalzebub]]
 
* [[Demogorgon]]
 
* [[Dispater]]
 
* [[Orcus]]
 
* [[Geryon]]
 
 
 
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 summing spoiler] for details.
