A demon is an evil spirit, a devil, an inhabitant of hell. Demons are often depicted with horns, a pointed tail, cloves hood and grotesques faces. Demon may also be used figuratively to describe an evil person, an intractable obsession or something harmful. Interestingly, demon is sometimes used to describe mischievousness or great skill. In New Zealand and Australia, the term demon may be used informally to a police officer. The word demon is derived from the Latin word daemonium which means lesser spirit or evil spirit.

The idea of the daemon comes from the beliefs of the Ancient Greeks. To them, a daemon was a spiritual being falling somewhere between a god and a human, or the ghost of a fallen hero. Daemons are good or helpful spirits. The idea of the daemon has survived today as a sort of guardian angel or an inner driving force. Remember, a demon is an evil spirit, a daemon is a good spirit. The word daemon is derived from the Greek term daimōn. A more recent meaning of the word daemon is a computer process that runs in the background. An alternate spelling for daemon is daimon.

Japanese mythology later adapted the daimon ideology, essentially combining the two.

デーモン
Dēmon (daemon) Not always evil

悪魔
Akuma (demon) Evil.
