Demons are evil and destructive creatures native to the Outer Sphere known as the Abyss. They are ferocious, irredeemably evil creatures, and will attack and kill anything for the sheer fun of it, including other demons.[1]
Demon Lords
The most powerful of the demons are unique creature with their own individual powers and abilities. These demon lords are known throughout the multiverse, and many cults exist to them on the Material Plane[2] The total number of demon lords is beyond knowing. Of the countless powerful demons who rule the various layers of the Abyss, some are better and more widely known and worshiped. The most ubiquitous demon lord, and the only one to have attained full godhood is Lamashtu, the Mother of Monsters. While Lamashtu's faithful can be found in nearly all parts of Golarion and beyond, the lesser demon lords receive their fair share of attention from their cults among the drow, the northern regions of Avistan (particularly the Worldwound), and the Mwangi Expanse.[3]
Demons on Golarion
Native to the Abyss, demons cannot easily make the journey to the Material Plane. Nevertheless, they can be found wherever powerful evil spellcasters wish to bring harm upon their enemies. There are only two known locations in the Inner Sea region, however, where demons are common: the Tanglebriar in Kyonin and the Worldwound.[4]
