List of theological demons

This is a list of demons that appear in religion, theology , demonology , my thology , and folklore. It is not a list of names of demons, although some are listed by more than one name.

The list of fictional demons includes those from literary fiction with theological aspirations, such as Dante's Inferno. Because numerous lists of legendary creatures concern my thology , folklore, and folk fairy tales, much ov erlap may be
expected.
