'''Demons''' are evil creatures that inspire dread and fear in mortals. Almost all demons are members of the [[Burning Legion]], a group with phenomenal power, that roams the cosmos preying on worlds. All demons are evil.<ref name="Monster Guide 188">[[Monster Guide]], pg. 188</ref>

This item drops from [[Beth'tilac]] in the [[Firelands (instance)|Firelands]] on normal mode.

Most demons were once mortal creatures found on the worlds conquered by the Burning Legion, but have been transformed by their conversion into demonic beings. This change includes a powerful command of arcane energy. They define and control this arcane power with the force of their will, much as sorcerers and wizards do.<ref name="Manual of Monsters 112">[[Manual of Monsters]], pg. 112</ref> <ref name="Monster Guide 188">[[Monster Guide]], pg. 188</ref>

Not all demons are aligned with the Burning Legion. Other demons have chosen to "abandon" the Burning Legion and yield their allegiance to others, such as the demons that pertain to [[Illidan's forces]].

==Demon or dae'mon?==
 
−
There is some question as to the origin of the name "demon" in [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]]. In [[Christie Golden]]'s ''[[Rise of the Horde]]'', it is insinuated that the word "demon" came from the [[Orcish]] word "dae'mon", meaning a soul that was evil, twisted, not right...much the same as the [[eredar]] word "[[Man'ari eredar|man'ari]]". However, in the [[War of the Ancients Trilogy]], the night elves refer to them as demons at the first coming of the Burning Legion — thousands of years before Rise of the Horde. Additionally, "daemon" without the apostrophe is a term used by both [[Horde]] and [[Alliance]] in varying sources, such as ''Warcraft I'', ''Warcraft II'' and ''[[World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade]]'', including documents predating the [[First War]]. No matter the origin of the word, the meaning is still the same.

===Demonic traits===
 
−
''"If I have wings, why am I always walking?"'' - Dreadlord in ''[[Warcraft III]]''
 
−  
−
''"Wings, horns, hooves...what are we saying, is this Diablo?"'' - Illidan Stormrage in ''[[Warcraft III]]''
 
−  
−
Usually demons have one or more of a set of demonic physical traits.

*Only one eredar, [[Kil'jaeden]], has been seen with wings (it is unknown if this is part of his illusions or if he has become greatly mutated). Eredar also display a variety of skin tones, including but not limited to demonic red.

*[[Gul'dan]] saw Sargeras in the [[Tomb of Sargeras]] and had wings, however, he is shown without them in the artworks.
 
−
*Not all pit lords have been observed to possess flames. [[Mannoroth]] is an example of one characterized by flames.
 
−
*[[Illidan]]'s flames are a result of his triggered immolation ability and not a result of anatomy, though his arcane tattoos have been known to smolder on occasion, as do his hoofprints (they also bubble when in or on water)

In ''[[wikipedia:Monster Manual|Monster Manual]]'' there is a distinct breed of demons which use the "demonic" subtype.<ref name="Manual of Monsters 112">''[[Manual of Monsters]]'', p.112</ref> This kind of [[Manual of Monsters/Appendix Three#Demons|demons]] are described in ''[[Manual of Monsters]]'' [[Manual of Monsters/Appendix Three|Appendix Three]] and as told before the description doesn't match the demons described in the [[Warcraft Universe]].<ref name=MoM191>''[[Manual of Monsters]]'', p.191</ref> Throughout the ''Manual fo Monsters'' the term "demon" refers to the minions of the Burning Legion,<ref name="Manual of Monsters 112"/> but in the section of "demons" of the Appendix Three they refer to the demons of D&D.<ref name=MoM191/> However, the validity of the Appendix Three is disputed.
