Demon was a generic term for a malevolent supernatural creature, which was used to refer to creatures in a number of cultures' mythologies. The term devil was also used. Worlds which had some form of demon myth included Somov Rit (the swamp demon),[2] Ootoola,[1] and Naboo (the Cacodemon). It is unknown if they were somewhat related to the mythological Hell, though some cultures would qualify demonic creatures as hell-spawned.
Before the birth of the Jedi Order, many lone Force-sensitives were regarded as demons by those who did not understand their powers.[3]
In a thousand different myths from various Human subcultures, demons sported pointed ears and horns (just like the dark side of the Force entity Smoke Demon), which explains the feeling of discomfort most Humans experienced when meeting a Devaronian[1][4]. With her red skin, horns and fiery eyes, the Iktotchi Darth Cognus was also compared to a demon.[5]
During the Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY, the Gungan Boss Ganne was shocked by the appearance of the Zabrak Darth Maul, believing him to be something akin to a devil.[6]
Palpatine, likewise, was also considered to have turned into a demon after the rise of the Galactic Empire, although it was also believed he may have been a demon all along.[7]
Suzal referred to Wutzek as a demon.[8]
