Demons are one of the existing species in the world of "Shuumatsu no Valkyrie: Record of Ragnarok". They are unearthly beings that dwell in the underworld.
Overview[]
Demons are the creatures or beings that inhabit the netherworld. Similar to the gods, demons have a very humanoid appearance, being very similar to that of a human. Some also have been shown to possess non human traits, such as horns or wings. While not confirmed to be immortal like the gods, demons are still very powerful, to the point that they can be very dangerous in case they get out of control.
All demons shown so far appear to be inherently evil or malicious, acting almost purely by their instincts. However it has not been confirm that all demons are evil by nature.

Origins and History[]
Their origins are not very clear. However, it is known that after the Titanomachy Tournament, Hades became the ruler of Helheim. This was done so that he could supervise the demons in order to prevent them from causing any trouble in the netherworld or going up to Midgard and causing chaos.
Society[]
Culture[]
Little is currently known about the organisation and society of Helheim. However from what is shown, hell appears to be a very violent place with little to no laws or order.
Abilities[]
Demonic Physiology: Similar to the gods, Demons have physical abilities far greater than most humans. Some demons also have supernatural abilities, such as Hajun's veil of darkness.
Biokinesis: Demons have shown to possess great control over their own biology. Many Demons can turn parts of their bodies into something else, stretch their limbs or create new body parts.
Relationships[]
Gods[]
While not a lot is known about their relationship, some of them (such as The Serpent) appear to be on friendly terms with the gods. However it appears that most gods see demons as a potential threat, since some gods (such as Hades) have the duty to supervise them in order to prevent them from causing any trouble.
Humans[]
Not much is known about the relationship between humankind and demonkind. However from what is known about human culture and folklore, humans think that demons are evil beings that must be feared. In the past, Chiyou managed to leave Hell and go to Earth, becoming an evil tyrant who ruled over China.
