Demon[edit]
Shadows of the Night[edit]
The demons are the servants of the Demon King, hunters of men and devourers of the innocent. They stalk the shadows and hide from the sun to grow stronger across vast amounts of time. Demons are fueled by a hatred of humanity, and the gifts of their King. While they cannot touch sunlight for fear of death, they revel in the night and enjoy incredible strength, speed, and durability. Atop their already superior forms, many demons can attain what is known as a Blood demon art, an ability powered by their own blood to devestate the foe and slaughter the innocent.
The demons are the fated enemies of the demon slayers, and gleefully kill them when given the chance. They gain Strength from consuming people, and hide amongst society as reclusive individuals
