Your favorite fictional demons.

First champion in League of Legends that I bought and so far he's still my favorite one. Some could argue he isn't a demon but he's as old as time itself and his normal skin looks incredibly demonlike.
Also his blade drinks blood and he then sacrifices his life force to fuel his techniques. So yea I'm calling demon.
Crowley.

Because why choose between "suave hero" and "muffins with fresh baby uvula"?
Also love Jakabok Botch from Clive Barker's Mister B. Gone. A tragic villain in deep denial about his homosexuality who wishes he could be a good person, but just can't give up the luxury of bathing in infants' blood.

Crowley - A better devil then the Devil himself.
Lucifer would also be a good example in the show, if they didn't make a clear distinction between demons and fallen angels in it. I don't think I've ever liked a Lucifer character as much as the one from supernatural. YOu could almost root for him and the apocalypse.
EDIT: Wait a minute... does that Colt not have a trigger guard?
Never noticed that before.
Having studied both of those I have to agree; their characterization is pretty awesome.Dfskelleton said:Mephistopheles from the Faust legend.
He's a despicable agent of Satan who exists solely for the corruption of souls, but he's completely blunt about it. He's no deceiver or trickster; he straight up tells Faust "Look, I can grant you whatever you desire on this earth, but at some point, you're going to burn agonizingly in Hell for all eternity with no hope of redemption. You are flat out selling me your soul. Are you alright with that? May I remind you that Hell really, really sucks?"
And then Faust agrees. Brilliant.
Not only is he straightforward, but he's also quite the gentleman. And I have to say...
Dat outfit...
Also, the characterization of Satan in Paradise Lost was phenomenal. He lures you in with this seemingly tragic backstory, this facade that he's been mistreated by a tyrannical God, and he gives these rallying, powerful speeches, but by the end, you'll realize that he's an irrational, self-righteous lunatic, who didn't even have a good reason before he tried to kill the omnipotent creator of the universe using military force alone. It was very well executed, you just have to be careful how you talk about it. Going around saying "Yeah, Satan is really great." is a recipe for disaster. Especially if you're a Christian.
Aesthetically, all demons featured on Magic: The Gathering cards. I'd have Kev Walker's babies if I could.
Mephisto from Diablo 2 was always my favourite of the Prime Evils, he looked awesome and Lord of Hatred is an awesome title!
Mephistopheles in Neverwinter Nights was amazing! I loved the way he put his plan into motion!
Other than those two, I guess I'd have to say Rakanishu from Diablo 2, a crazy Dark Blue Carver who usually has his name said by the Fallen/Carver/Devilkin/etc.
And The Horned Reapers from Dungeon Keeper, it was a tough choice between them and Horny, but a creature that gets angry for no reason and has to be sealed off from the rest of your dungeon to stop it going on a bloody rampage and killing you is waaaaaaaay cooler than a big demon summoned temporarily by a Talisman.

I have a spot for Chauncy, too. Monstrous thing with a wicked-looking beak, and he pulls out library specs from nowhere. I would've loved to see more of him.Forobryt said:
I'm quite fond of Sebastian from Kuroshitsuji.
I'm also partial to Scanty and Kneesocks... when they aren't being incestuous.
And, of course, I'm fond of this particular specter.

Tobi
Tobi was an enemy, a gatekeeper you had to race in order to progress, but that didn't mean he couldn't be a good sport.
Fairwell Tobi, you were a scholar and a gentleman.
A wild Ninetails appeared.
Griselbrand. Sac 6 Shadowborn Apostles, swing (with haste). Gain 7, pay 7, draw 7. That's pretty cool.
On a more serious note (is talking about demons ever serious), I think probably take a succubus. Pretty much any of them are good, except that one from the new DmC...

I was just thinking about Samael. I always liked how the demons in Darksiders weren't so much 'evil' as 'grossly self-interested', so much so the Sam would get locked away for simply trying to gain more power. Then I thought about the only person who looked at the end of the world and though "I can make a profit out of this".ChanTheNoob said:Samael from Darksiders, just because he was so powerful that he was imprisoned so he wouldn't take over hell and ruin Lucifer's day.
He is also coincidently the only demon I can actually remember from anything, so there's that.
Good old Vulgrim. He's just such a bastard, yet so necessary!
I am of course also a huge sucker for 40k daemons. Especially those of the 'Bloooooooddddddd!!!!!' variety.
Tobi. He may have just been a paper scrap of a demon, but he was the only one that made racing through a death-trap fun, the one I look forward to seeing when I get to Oni Island, and the only one to bring me to tears whenever I do another play through, even though I know its coming. He died doing what he loved... Farewell, sweet prince, and may a flight of angels sing thee to thy rest.
I´d agree with quite a lot of mentions here, from Hellboy to Crowley but just to add something to the list, I´m quite surprised this one hasn´t come up before:
I´m not really sure if the Pale man qualifies as a demon but in all honesty, he is one of the scariest things I´ve seen (even though he doesn´t seem to be such a big deal in the grand scheme of things)...

I really like the daemons in Warhammer, both Fantasy and 40k. Also, Crowley from Good Omens and Satan in Paradise Lost.
But... I'm surprised nobody mentioned this dude:
