List of theological demons
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 mythology, folklore, and folk fairy tales, much overlap may be expected.
Each entry names a demon and gives a source in parentheses.
Many demons have names with several spellings but few are listed under more than one spelling.
