Demon

Demons are a recurring race in the Disgaea series. Inhabitants of a Netherworld, demons have played a major role in every Disgaea game to date, with every protagonist being one thus far.

Physiology

Demons are beings that thrive in darkness and as such they tend to live mostly in Netherworlds. Netherworlds are found all over the cosmos so there are a huge variety of demons with some looking like humans and some looking like complete monsters. Some Netherworlds may have the same species of demons as another but they may look very different due to the Netherworld's geology among other things. Humanoid demons share similar traits such as fangs, red eyes, and pointed ears, and may have wings. Demons are known for being able to have extreme amounts of Mana Power (the essence of all life) letting them do such things as create flames with their bare fists or summon forth a meteor through sheer will alone. Demons are also known for their unusually long lifespans, with many notable demons being over 1000 years old. The most powerful Demon in a Netherworld is known as the Overlord or the President, the ruler of that particular Netherworld. In some cases, the ruler of a particular Netherworld is called the Dean or the Principal.

Personality

Demons personalities are quite varied, however some of the more notable Demons such as the Overlords tend to share common personality traits. Demons as a whole tend to cultivate an image of being "evil", even if it is not in their actual nature. The most extreme ones tend to be the Overlords and many of them tend to burst out into maniacal laughter at almost any moment. Demons are also extremely competitive as they never back down from challenges. Some Overlords even battle with other Overlords for control over the other one's Netherworld. Some demons also attempt to conquer random human worlds to turn them into Netherworlds so they can become an Overlord.
