Fallen angels fall more into a devil category, as angels are all uniquely named individuals hand-crafted by YHWH.
Not chaotic manifestations of pure opposition.
Vampires are stuck with the same characteristics and the same weakness all the time and are ultimately still stuck in a human body with the illness of having to feed and avoid sunlight.
Demons don't even have to exist in this world, they can be in another dimension or not even exist as a corporeal being, just a spirit or energy but they can still possess and take a human form if they want to.
There's really no contest.
Theres ice demons
Seriously now, I like the dark sinister castle / raining and storming / vampire kind of atmosphere (a classic horror concept, like Frankenstein) and I hate satanic stuff.
So, which mythology has good demons? I have only heard they all exists to just torment people.
Nevermind, i googled the definition of a demon and:
"an evil spirit or devil, especially one thought to possess a person or act as a tormentor in hell."
So, no good ones.
damn... if i was a fellow vampire, i'd be dying from second-hand embarassment.
^-- This.
Though, it does depend on the context/belief-system being used. So, some cultures could call something a sot of "demon" and it wouldn't necessarily be a Judeo-Christian one.
In Judeo-Christian belief, there can not possibly be a "good" demon.
In this system, whether or not one sees it as mythology or belief, demons are older than Time, itself. They loathe the entirety of Creation. They have a visceral, primal, enduring hatred of humanity. This hatred is so very strong that they rebelled and denied themselves an eternity of bliss for its sake. With a little convincing by one of the most powerful of their order... Strictly speaking, a demon should not be able to bridge the gulf of their exile. Yet, it appears they can enter Creation under certain conditions and manifest a portion of their essence here in some way. (Things would get a bit confused between traditional sources and apocrypha.) Something to keep in mind - In no way are these beings ever beneficial or benevolent at all, ever. Consider them the equivalent of the "anti-matter" of benevolent spirituality.
Subsets of these, perhaps even ranging into other origins entirely, exist in JudeoChristianity. "Jinn" exist in Islam, though I'm not sure the exact distinctions there, and I believe there is something similar in Judaism. (Not completely sure, there, but there is also a long history of accompanying apocrypha and "traditional" mythology there, too.)
I don't know of any distinction between "demon" and "devil" within the Judeo-Christian system. In D&D, there is a distinction there between Lawful Evil (devils) and Chaotic Evil (demons).
There are plenty of "evil spirits," though, in other systems. These range from shamanistic and nature-oriented systems and even animism to more rigorous systems where they're could even be seen as in the same hierarchy as "divine" ones. Though, some mythology and belief systems do not focus on the same concepts of "Good" and "Evil" and may not have much room for either...
To contrast with vampires:
Vampires are predators and violators. At least from the sort of Western, but widespread, interpretation of Medieval lore, maybe originating in Eastern Europe. They are basically rapists. They depend upon humanity for their sustenance and existence and when they're not jumping humans, they're luring and seducing them. Despite their relative physical immortality as a result, they're pretty pitiful. And, despite their allure and their ability to seduce and, thus, get close to their prey, they're not sexual creatures. They'd be... pretty close to impotent, if not truly so, because they can not empathize with their food.
In their origins, vampires are little different than ghouls who are often known to prey upon the corpses of the dead. Though, there's a preference there for live flesh/blood with "vampires." The Westernization of them resulted in pushing the "violator" image to the extreme to the point off them reaching their seductive blood-rapist form. (It's not unlikely the physical changes a corpse can undergo prompted the belief that it somehow must still be animated in some way or experience some form of existence while still being "dead.")
Neither are "cool" from some sort of traditional interpretation. Stories could make them seem that way, though.
The original Greek word daimon did not carry negative connotations. The Ancient Greek word δαίμων daimōn denotes a spirit or divine power. The Greek conception of a daimōn notably appears in the works of Plato, where it describes the divine inspiration of Socrates. In Christianity, morally ambivalent daimons were replaced by demons, forces of evil only striving for corruption.
Unsurprisingly, they are considered evil by Christians, as is anything that isn't Christianity.
That doesn't make any sense, as the Judeo-Christian "demons" you are describing there are part of "Christianity." Keep in mind that the belief system has it's own very precise definition of them, no matter the word origins.
vs
the other hates organized religion
both in that context are sorta based but overall i gotta go with the basement dwellers. Think 90% of steam users can relate to them better.
Or Werefinns
Vampires are murdering monsters, they're cool when they are like that.
