Demons or devils were a broad class of malevolent beings, the term being applied differently from one universe to the next.
In one universe, demons were the dark counterparts of angels. Jenny Everywhere was, in that universe, half-devil herself. (PROSE: John Dee, Jenny Everywhere: Round One) In some universes, including Aziraphale's world, demons were in fact former angels who had “fallen”. Crowley was one such demon from that world. Although mischievous, Crowley was not actually evil, and he possessed more of an imagination than most of his fellow demons. (PROSE: You've Been To Eden, I Perceive) In the Strange and Wonderful House, one already-mad angel ended up morphing into a demon, which Grigori stated was him “succumbing to the madness”. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: The Saviour)
A Cactus Demon was among the wretched souls fought off by another Jenny and her boyfriend David in a "dense universe" they were sent to by Shiva. (COMIC: Soulless Mate)
Yet another incarnation of Jenny stated that while the term "demons" could apply to "fabulous monsters", it could also metaphorically refer to the various things weighing on an individual's mind. (COMIC: Demons PSA)
The Griffins of the Sixth Realm were a type of demon] who could be summoned by witches. Merv the Griffin was one such demon. When fighting Red Vicious, a different, non-griffin demon who had also been summoned to the mortal plane on Reality Z-25 31-H, in his case by the Legion of Light, Red Vicious recognised Merv as a fellow demon but mocked him for having a weakness to fire. (COMIC: For Whom The Toll Bells, Meanwhile, In Queens)
When the Strange and Wonderful House began acting up out of excitement about its impending acquisition of an Elevator, a “continuous seance” had to be held by the residents on the 7th floor “to keep spirits and demons out of closets and cupboards”. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: Elevator)
Lord Thymon, who was the Embodiment of Time in the Void, was sometimes described as a “demon” or a “time-demon”, (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving, Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery) with his capture by the Department of Problem-Solving notably being characterised as “binding a demon” by Mandragora-257. (PROSE: The Resurrection of the Wellsians)
In the Prime Universe, after the rise of Christianity, Aphrodite sometimes posed as a demon or as a sorceress, not having the patience, nor the modesty, to pose as an angel or as the Virgin Mary. (PROSE: Magic Trick)
Hilbert's employed Door Demons to make sure only authorised guests entered any given room, instead of conventional locks and keys. The Door Demons were disembodied until they were needed, at which point the woodwork of the door they guarded would shift into their face. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel) Lord Nachtos, a dimension-travelling magical entity who looked like a floating Christmas tree, was once described as a “tree demon”. (PROSE: Century Smith and the Time Terror)
In Ecord, Jenny had to deal with, and ultimately slay, a monstrous entity called the Spawn of Fashan, which the High Priest of the cult of Argon had summoned from “the stygian bowels of the lower hells”. (PROSE: Jenny Everywhere and the Eye of Argon)
One version of Jenny Everywhere who helped a human Jenny defeat Jenny Nowhere in the Infinite was “half-angel, half-demon”. (PROSE: Jenny Everywhere and the Nowhere Spiral)
In one universe, a young Merlin believed that “angels were supposed to tell people not to be afraid and demons were supposed to be monsters”, for which reason Jenny Everywhere did not seem to match either category. (PROSE: Close Encounter of the Bird Kind)
