3A form of NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast that's pretty self explanatory. There's some names that just plain sound or ''are'' demonic. Since [[FallenAngel a few angels fell]], some of the more malevolent-sounding ones are included. (Note, not exactly accurate angel-ology goes on below, just FYI.)

98
99[[AC:VideoGame]]

102[[/folder]]

104[[folder:Azazel]]

106----
107[[AC:Anime and Manga]]
108* The titular character in ''Manga/YouAreBeingSummonedAzazel''.
109
110[[AC:ComicBooks]]
111* ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'': A bad guy with lots of mouths. Was meant to ''be'' the demon, though.
112* ''ComicBook/XMen'': ComicBook/{{Nightcrawler}}'s father is named Azazel.
113
114[[AC:{{Film}}]]
115* The body-hopping demon squaring off against Creator/DenzelWashington in ''Film/{{Fallen}}''.

118
119[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
120* One of Woland's henchmen from ''Literature/TheMasterAndMargarita''. Notable in that, almost certainly, this actually ''is'' the demon Azazel.

122

130* This is the name of one of Isaac's alter-egos in ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac: [[UpdatedRerelease Rebirth]]''. He's by far the most demonic of said alter-egos, with little batlike wings and a short-range version of the infamous Brimstone attack as a primary weapon. The name carries a [[GeniusBonus double meaning]] -- depending on interpretation, the Biblical Azazel is either a demon, or (like Isaac himself) a sacrificial offering.
131[[/folder]]
132
133[[folder:Beelzebub]]
134A Philistine god demonized by Jews and Christians as the demon of gluttony, the so-called "Lord of the Flies". See {{Beelzebub}}.

139
140%%[[AC: Fanfic]]
141%%* Ronan '[[RougeAnglesOfSatin Beelzbub]]', the "[[DesignatedHero hero]]" of ''Naruto Veangance Revelaitons''. However, it's unlikely the author actually knew the origin of the name and simply used it because it [[RuleOfCool sounded cool]]. Although, it ''is'' a fitting name, considering how demonic and evil the character is.
142
143[[AC: Live Action TV]]
144* ''Series/UltramanGaia'' has Zogu's [[TheDragon dragon]], Zebub (although he also goes by the equally [[SarcasmMode friendly]] name of {{Shinigami}})
145
146[[AC: TabletopGames]]
147* Infernoid Beelzebul/Antra in ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' is based on Beelzebub. It even resembles a gigantic robotic fly.
148* Baalzebul is the ruler of the seventh ring of Hell in ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}''. Rather than a giant fly, he's actually [[TheWormThatWalks composed of hundreds of biting flies]] after an arrogant demand to Asmodeus to "rule multitudes."
149* Baalzebul also appears in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' with the same position and title as "Lord of the Flies". But he's instead portrayed as a hideous and disgusting slug-like monster as a result of a curse Asmodeus placed on him for an attempt at overthrow.
150
151[[AC: WesternAnimation]]
152* Beezy from ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'', though he's usually too dumb and lazy to be menacing.
153

160----
161[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
162* [=BelialVamdemon=], BigBad of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02''. ''Digimon'' loves this, apparently. Was dubbed as [=MaloMyotismon=], which still evokes the adjective variety, but fell flat. Then again, so did [=BelialVamdemon=].
163** Then again, according to some mythos, Belial was ''the very demon who tempted Lucifer''.
164* Momo '''Velia''' Deviluke from ''Manga/ToLoveRu''.
165* ''Manga/AngelSanctuary'': The Mad Hatter, one of the Seven Satans of Hell, whose sin is Pride, was given the name Belial by God. Not only does Kaori Yuki mention that the name means "useless", but Belial is also mentioned as being in love with Lucifer.

169* Ultraman Belial, from the ''Franchise/UltraSeries'', who is the resident SatanicArchetype.

182[[AC:VideoGames]]
183* Berial is the name of a boss in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4''.
184* In [[VideoGame/{{Diablo}} Sanctuary]], this is the name of the Lord of Lies. In ''VideoGame/DiabloIII'', he's behind Maghda and the Dark Coven from Act I and the trouble in Caldeum in Act II, and you're charged with taking him out.
185* ''VideoGame/StarOceanTillTheEndOfTime'', in which he is fought alongside one named Belzeber (Baalzebul or Beelzebub) and subsequent to one named Azazer (Azazel). Oh, and the guy they work for is called Lucifer, though the American port, at least, changed it to Luther.
186* Belial's used to such an extreme in ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor'' that not only do they have a boss named "Belial", but if a demon so much as has "Bel" in its name, you know it's going to be a tough fight. It even reaches the point where they renamed Baldr to Beldr so that he could fit the rule.
187* Belial is the name of a boss in ''VideoGame/WildArms4''.
188* Belias, the fire demon Esper in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII''.
189* The bio stage boss in ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}} IV'' is supposed to be named this, although it's transliterated as "Viral" in the US manual.
190* A RecurringBoss in ''VideoGame/OdinSphere''. [[spoiler:Played straight in that while he is a dragon trusting of humanity, he was magically enthralled to the Wise Men as a result and winds up fighting every protagonist, with Cornelius as his final opponent.]]
191* ''VideoGame/OracleOfTao'', the first BigBad is Belial. The second is a fictitious angel named Estheriel.
192** One of the heroes is named Azrael, below.
193
194[[AC:RealLife]]
195* Belial means "worthless" in Hebrew. In the Old Testament, wicked or lawless men were commonly referred to as "sons of Belial."
196[[/folder]]
197
198[[folder:Damien]]
199This one is a recent invention due to its similarity to "demon", largely thanks to ''The Omen'' film series. In fact, the name means something else in Ancient Greek ("to tame") and is the name of at least two Christian saints, including one martyr.
200----
201[[AC:{{Film}}]]
202* Of ''Film/TheProphecy'' and ''Film/TheOmen'' fame. (In fact, the name likely wouldn't have fit this Trope at all if it hadn't been forever stained by the second movie.)
203
204[[AC: Live Action TV]]
205* Damien from ''Series/OnlyFoolsAndHorses'', with ''Film/TheOmen'' jokes.
206* ''Series/{{Arrow}}'': The BigBad of Season 4 is named Damien Darhk (a twofer!). He's the head of terrorist organization HIVE, a CardCarryingVillain, an EvilSorcerer, and his murder of [[spoiler:Laurel]] makes him the show's first true HeroKiller. He also initially styled himself as the savior of Star City, before revealing his true colors, thus fitting TheAntiChrist aspect of the name as well.
207
208[[AC: Video Games]]
209* The main antagonist of ''[[VideoGame/SnowboardKids Snowboard Kids 2]]'' is a blue skinned demon named Damien. Though [[HarmlessVillain he's incredibly weak]] to the point that he rides the [[JokeItem POVERTY BOARD]].
210
211[[AC:Webcomics]]
212* Also features in ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive''.
213* Also features in ''Webcomic/WhiteDarkLife'', though ''that'' Damien starts out as a HarmlessVillain and eventually becomes a fully-fledged good guy.

215[[AC:Web Original]]
216* In the web series ''Series/FlandersCompany'', the character [[NiceGuy Damien Parker]] is revealed toward season 2 to possess a [[SuperpoweredEvilSide second, psychotic personality with awfully powerful psychic abilities]]. In order to distinguish the two personalities from each other, the "good" personality is referred as "Dr. Parker", while the evil one is referred as "Damien".
217
218[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
219* Damien, the son of Satan on ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''.
220
221[[AC:RealLife]]
222* One of The West Memphis Three, who were mistakenly accused of a hideous triple satanic ritualistic murder, had the name Damien Echols, which naturally got him eyed as the ringleader.
223[[/folder]]
224
225[[folder:Demon]]
226In Myth/ClassicalMythology, demons were spirits comparable though generally of lower rank than the gods (who were called ''theos''). When Christianity seeped in, they were, well, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment demonized]] as evil beings who work under Satan.

229* Hiruma from ''Manga/Eyeshield21'' has the kanji for "demon" in his name, é­”. His name means "Devil in broad daylight"...

240** Daemon Blackfyre was a relative of the royal Targaryen family who proved to be the single-biggest threat to the unity of the realm prior to the War of the Five Kings.

241* Demandred, the name of one of the Forsaken from ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'', is a contraction of "demon" and "dread".
242
243[[AC:LiveActionTV]]
244* Damon Crowley on ''Series/DeadOfSummer'' is a subversion. His name contains references to both demons and Creator/AleisterCrowley, the early 20th century occultist who was dubbed "The Wickedest Man in the World", and he leads a cult of [[HollywoodSatanism Satanic]] [[AllBikersAreHellsAngels bikers]] trying to raise the demon Malphas. However, the last two episodes reveal that he and his cult were little more than the {{Unwitting Pawn}}s of the ''real'' BigBad, [[spoiler:Amy Hughes, who not only isn't an example of this trope but had, in fact, been presented as an archetypal FinalGirl until TheReveal]].
245* ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'' has Daemon Targaryen, the Rogue Prince. He is the younger, unhinged and rebellious brother of King Viserys. He is capable of great and horrifying deeds. He is a formidable warrior and rides Caraxes, the "Blood Wyrm".

247
248[[AC:Tabletop Games]]
249* The most powerful daemon in ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' is the Oinodaemon, the first of their kind and powerful enough to be considered a true god. At present he's maimed and bound, but even stripped of most of his power and driven mad he's able to exert his influence on mortals.
250
251[[AC:VideoGames]]
252* Demonica from the [=PS2=] medieval take on ''Powerstone'', ''Barbarian''. Though her story is different, you can definitely see the resemblance in body stance, personality, and the reasons for despising humans.
253* Akuma, the American name of Gouki from ''Franchise/StreetFighter''.
254* "Demon of the Western Sea" Chosokabe Motochika and Shimazu "the Ogre" from ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara''.
255* ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony'': The kanji used to write Maki Harukawa's first name, 魔姫, mean "demon princess". Though, even though she is the [[spoiler:Ultimate Assassin]], she's not really evil. She's still dangerous, though.

259

264[[AC:RealLife]]

300* Who else but ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'', the Lord of Terror and the lord of all demons from the game series bearing his name? This one may be too obvious to count in, however.
301* Devil King (Oda Nobunaga) from ''[[VideoGame/SengokuBasara Devil Kings]]''.
302* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' provides Diablos, the Unforgiving Tyrant, who is just as nasty as he sounds. ''Tri'' adds Deviljho to the lineup.
303* Does being named after a chord specifically nicknamed "The Devil in Music" count? Because if it does, chalk one up for [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Ghetsis (G-Cis tritone) Harmonia]]]], the biggest [[KnightOfCerebus bad yet]] in ''Pokémon''.
304* ''VideoGame/{{Cyberbots}}'': Princess Devilotte de Deathsatan IX. Not very subtle.
305
306[[AC:WebComics]]
307* ''Webcomic/CharbyTheVampirate'' has "Devil Eyes" Quixoto, a vampire that likes to use him telepathy to mentally torture his victims before feeding from them and leaving them to be finished off by wild animals and whose preferred food is human children. Charby himself counts at the beginning of the comic with his casual murder of humans for just annoying him regardless of their age and reputation as a killer of {{Vampire Hunter}}s along with his hated epithet of "Little Devil".
308* In ''Webcomic/{{Gosu}}'' we have Sa Paecheon, the "Devil of the Venom Hands". Given to him for his lethal mastery over his poison-coated Flying Venom Steel Whips, Sa Paecheon was [[WorldsBestWarrior a monster]] [[BloodKnight on the battlefield]] and a person you did not want to cross.
309
310[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
311* [[WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians Cruella de Vil]], whose name has "cruel," "devil," and "evil" in it. Just run away now. [[CruellaToAnimals Especially if you have any animals with you.]]

318* Humboldt squid are sometimes known in Spanish as ''[[RedBaron El Diablo Rojo]]'' (the red devil), and are one of the deadliest species of squid in the world for their aggression, and the fact that they've killed (and probably eaten) more than a few fishermen that went after them.

322Originally the word for the afterlife in Germanic mythology, Christianity co-opted this to refer to the place of torment for evil humans.
323----
324[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
325* The main villain of ''Anime/MazingerZ'' was Doctor Hell. Somehow neither that, the EvilLaugh ''or'' the creepy purple skin were enough for people to figure out he was evil until it was too late. The dubbed version (''Tranzor Z'') was worried people might be offended by that, so they called him "Doctor Demon" instead. Yeah, that's a LOT better.
326** In ''Anime/ShinMazinger'', on the other hand, everyone was able to figure him out rather quickly, even before the purple skin.
327* ''Anime/InuYasha'' has Naraku, a pun on the word "Naraka", the term for Hell in Buddhism.
328* Integra Manga/{{Hellsing}}, though running won't help, as she's a perfect shot. And that's if she doesn't decide to sic {{Alucard}}, her even worse servant, on you.
329

342* Hell Tanner from ''Literature/DamnationAlley''.

351
352[[AC:VideoGames]]
353* ''VideoGame/FrontMissionGunHazard'' has Colonel Ark Hellbrand, whose military takeover of the [[{{Ruritania}} Republic of Bergen]] kicks off the plot. Really, though, putting a guy with a last name like "Hellbrand" in charge of anything but maybe a fundraising dinner is {{genre blind|ness}} bordering on [[TooDumbToLive suicidal]].
354* Grom Hellscream from ''VideoGame/WarcraftII'' and ''III'', and his son Garrosh in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''.
355* Hellen Gravely from ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion3'', the owner of the [[HellHotel Last Resort hotel]] who freed [[BigBad King Boo]] from imprisonment and invited the Mario Bros, Peach, and some Toads to the hotel as part of an elaborate trap.

377* ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}'s mother is named Lilith.

385* The name of a WickedWitch in Creator/NeilGaiman's ''Literature/{{Stardust}}''.
386* ''Literature/LilithsBrood'': Lilith Iyapo is the source of the name's ominous in-universe connotations. AfterTheEnd, the alien Oankali rescued the last surviving humans but require that all future human children be [[HalfHumanHybrid half-Oankali crossbreeds]]; Lilith is the first to cooperate, so those who resent those terms call her the betrayer of humanity.
387* Lilith is the main antagonist of the fourth book of ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments''. Although she is defeated and left incapacitated, she continues to cast a shadow over the following two books, since Sebastian Morgenstern is her "blood child".
388* In the ''Fallen'' series by Creator/LaurenKate Lilith is a girl from Daanite tribe who is first introduced in an episode as an evil character but becomes much more sympathetic as TheProtagonist of a spinoff novel ''Unforgiven''.

402[[AC:VideoGames]]
403* Lilith "The Siren" Cashlin from the ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' series is a Vault Hunter who happens to be [[GenderRestrictedAbility one of only six women in the universe born with mysterious]] PsychicPowers.

407
408[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
409* Subverted with Lilith Clawthorne in ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse''. While she first appeared as a powerful witch who serves the BigBad Emperor Belos, she's only more concerned with persuading her rebellious sister, Eda, to join the Emperor's Coven in order to cure her of the curse [[spoiler:[[CainAndAbel that Lilith herself cast upon her]]]]. She would later on undergo a HeelFaceTurn [[spoiler:once it became clear that Belos has no intention of helping her cure Eda.]]

411
412[[folder:Lucifer]]
413The Latin epithet for UsefulNotes/{{Venus}}, the Morning Star ("lightbearer"). In the King James Version of the Literature/BookOfIsaiah, this name is used for the passage in which the King of Babylon compared himself to the planet Venus. Misinterpretation of the passage led to the word to be used for the Devil, and that's why the word is equated with him today.
414----
415[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
416* In ''Manga/BlackClover'', Lucifero is the most powerful devil of them all. If you're looking for Lucius Zogratis, look [[NamesToRunAwayFrom/{{Conquerors}} somewhere else]].

429[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
430* Lucius Malfoy from ''Literature/HarryPotter''
431* Le Chiffre, of ''Literature/CasinoRoyale'', gets bonus points for being a pretty good spy name even in translation - it means "the number" or "the cypher".
432* Valentine Morgenstern of ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments''. His last name means "Fallen star", referring to the fallen angel, Lucifer. You'd think that an organization as biblically based as the Shadowhunters would have been a little concerned when the guy whose last name essentially meant "Lucifer" began to gain so much power...
433* That handsome auburn-haired youth Luc who is trying to woo [[TheProtagonist Lucinda]] in the ''Fallen'' series by Creator/LaurenKate.
434
435[[AC:LiveActionTelevision]]
436* In ''Series/{{Angel}}'', the lawyers of the evil OccultLawFirm Wolfram & Hart have an unusual frequency of "LM" initials (Lee Mercer, Lyndsey [=McDonald=], Lilah Morgan, Lynwood Murrow). Although never confirmed as deliberate, there's a common fan interpretation that this derives from Lucifer Morningstar.
437* In ''Series/JackTaylor'', the girls at one of Ireland's notorious Magdalene laundries (workhouse institutions run by the Catholic Church which took in "fallen women" to do demeaning labor, like laundering clothes) used to refer to one particularly sadistic nun as "Lucifer."

440
441[[AC:VideoGames]]
442* Doom in ''VideoGame/Dota2'' bears the name of Lucifer, and his in-game lore rings all the bells of being the game's SatanicArchetype.
443* Similarly, "Lucien" is also a name to be found on dangerous people, as ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'', ''{{VideoGame/Fable}}'', and ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' demonstrate.
444* Lucifron, a monster in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''.
445* The BigBad in the ''VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins'' series, although he was renamed Loki or Rushifell in the American versions of some of the games.

447* The Prince of the Underworld in ''VideoGame/PrincessMaker2'' is named Lucifon.

Plus, he's not such a bad guy when you meet him.
448
449[[AC:Webcomics]]
450* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': [[MadScientist Dr. Lucifer Mongfish]], [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter father]] of [[BigBad Lucrezia]], Serpentina, and Demonica. They themselves qualify for different categories of this trope.
451
452[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
453* Lucius Heinous VII on ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' (in fact, he was directly Lucifer in the pilot). Same with the rest of his family, with [[TheDreaded Lucius I]] ''especially'' deserving of the name. Bonus points for also being [[NamesToRunAwayFrom/{{Adjectives}} an adjective example]] too, thanks to their surname.
454* Lucifer the Cat from Disney's ''{{WesternAnimation/Cinderella}}'', the original [[WebOriginal/LOLCats Basement Cat]].
455* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' gives us Mike Morningstar. Morningstar is the most common translation for Lucifer.

470[[AC:Tabletop Games]]

472* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' also features Mammon as the ruler of the third layer of Hell, essentially acting as the plane's banker. He is defined by his enormous avarice, appearing as a snake-bodied monster (although earlier editions simply depicted him as an obese devil).
473
474[[AC:Webcomics]]
475* Mammon, the Grand Dragon serves as one of the primary antagonists of ''Webcomic/KillSixBillionDemons'', a massive, [[OurDragonsAreDifferent vaguely-draconic]] PhysicalGod and an [[{{Greed}} avaricious]] tyrant ruling over one-seventh of TheMultiverse.

483* In the manga ''Manga/BlueExorcist'', Mephisto Pheles is the head of the Japan branch of the Order. [[SarcasmMode GEE I WONDER WHY THAT SOUNDS SO FAMILIAR???]]
484* In ''Manga/ShamanKing'', Faust VIII (descendant of the original Faust) appropriately names his Oversoul 'Eliza Mephisto'. Look at this [[NightmareFuel pretty nurse]] and tell me you ''wouldn't'' [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120908161520/shamanking/es/images/c/c4/O.s_ver_2.jpg run. g]] Keep in mind she's big enough to carry Faust in the [[http://www.mangareader.net/138-7882-18/shaman-king/chapter-130.html "palm of her hand."]]

502* Mephistopheles is also present in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', where he is also the ruler of layer number eight. Even amongst the countless scheming, lying backstabbers constantly plotting to overthrow their superiors in Hell's bureaucracy, he's a standout example.

When you speak to her, she will send you on missions to assassinate friendly NPC's, offering valuable items in return. When all the missions are completed (when everyone in the Nexus and beyond are dead), she will attack and attempt to kill you. All of this is accompanied by her evil appearance and malicious voice.
511* The obscure Korean fighting game ''SD Fighters'' includes a stage magician named Mepisto.

545
546[[AC:WesternAnimation]]

579* ''Webcomic/ErrantStory'' gives us Ian Samael, recently [[spoiler:possessed/{{mind rape}}d by an ancient elven goddess]]. On a good day, he's simply a WellIntentionedExtremist. On a bad one, he's a PersonOfMassDestruction, with very little regard for minor concerns like collateral damage.
580
581[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
582* Considering the ThemeNaming of the series, possibly Samuel "Samy" Garvin on ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes''. However, he's [[ButtMonkey generally pretty pathetic]].
583[[/folder]]
584
585[[folder:Satan]]
586The Hebrew name for the BigBad in Abrahamic religions, means "accuser". Note that Judaism views Satan in a different and not necessarily a bad light compared to Christianity or Islam.
587----
588[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
589* Lala '''Satalin''' Deviluke in ''Manga/ToLoveRu''
590* Mr. Satan from ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. Ironically, he's not evil (well, unless being a [[{{Jerkass}} complete and total jerk]] can be considered evil) nor is he the badass fighter [[MilesGloriosus he claims to be.]]
591
592[[AC:ComicBooks]]
593* One of the first four (ObviouslyEvil) villains of Franchise/TheFlash's first appearance in MediaNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks was named Sieur Satan (and one of the others was named Duriel).
594* ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' enemy Satan Girl. The first version was Pre-Crisis Supergirl's evil duplicate who attempted to murder the female members of the ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes''. The second version was an undead Satanist witch. The third Satan Girl was an alien death and love goddess who conquered the 31st century Earth in a matter of days.
595
596[[AC:FanWorks]]
597* In ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' fanfic ''Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy'', Satan Girl -Supergirl's evil counterpart with all of her power and nothing of her conscience- and her son Berserker who has been raised by ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}.
598
599[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
600* The true name of the Dark One in ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' is Shai'tan, an anglicized form of the Arabic word for Satan.
601* The name given to Sandworms in ''Franchise/{{Dune}}'', "Shaitan."
602
603[[AC:VideoGames]]
604* TheDragon of ''VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins''.
605* The final boss of ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheLastHope'', "'''Satan'''ail"
606
607[[AC:RealLife]]
608* The scientific name of the widemouth blindcat(fish) is ''Satan eurystomas'' ("Satan (with a) wide mouth"). To humans, the widemouth blindcat isn't a terribly frightening creature, being a useless-eyed, cream-colored catfish that grows up to 5 and a half inches long. To all of the other inhabitants of the underground aquifer the blindcat lives in (mostly blind shrimp and small fish), however, it might as well be the Devil, as it is the apex predator there.
609* Slovakian-born retired NHL player Miroslav Å atan, with many devil-related jokes made at his expense. During his career, many sports-related websites used the number 666 in the URL of his page. A running April Fool's joke had Å atan traded to the New Jersey Devils, making Å atan the Devils' Leader. After his retirement in 2014, the Yahoo! headline read "Satan be gone!"
610* The SS-18 "Satan" ballistic missile, the largest and most powerful ICBM fielded by the old Soviet Union. The terrifying [[ReportingNames reporting name]] is no coincidence. If this thing had ever been launched in a nuclear war, anything its warheads were aimed at would be vaporized from half a world away.
611* This was also the name given to the Flamethrower variant of the M3 light tank used by the Marines in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.
612* Calling {{Eagleland}} "the Great Satan" is a popular figure of speech in UsefulNotes/{{Iran}}ian political lingo.
613[[/folder]]
614
615[[folder:Miscellaneous Demonic Names]]
616
617[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
618* In ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' the Sonozaki sisters and their grandmother all have the character for 'oni' (demon) in their names. (The twins' mother did, too, but had to change the spelling when she got married.) It's an old family tradition...
619* For ''Manga/Reborn2004'', the assassins of the Varia squad have names like Leviathan, Belphegor, and Mammon.
620* Lala Satalin (for "Satan") Deviluke, Nana Asta (for "Astaroth") Deviluke and Momo Velia (for "Belial") Deviluke from ''Manga/ToLoveRu''. And especially their father, Gid Lucione (for "Lucifer") Deviluke.
621* If you go for a variant on "beelzebub" or "satan", you'll generally look like you're trying too hard, though. Unless you're in Japan: Mr. Satan (from ''Manga/DragonBall''). He's not evil, though, and while he'd be a badass in any other Verse, in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' he's a {{Muggle|s}} with [[FakeUltimateHero delusions of grandeur]]. ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' also gives us Demon, Beelzebumon, and [=SkullSatamon=]. They were dubbed as Daemon, Beelzemon, and... [=SkullSatamon=]?!
622* ''Manga/WelcomeToDemonSchoolIrumaKun'' has quite a few of them, which fits the fact it's mostly set in the demon world. Two of the earliest examples are Iruma's {{Bishonen}} friend [[GenderBlenderName Alice]] Asmodeus and student council president Amelie Azazel. Later we see the top 13 demons, who include thinly-veiled counterparts to Astaroth and Beelzebub, while also including Asmodeus (Alice's mother), Azazel (Amelie's father), Belial and Levi(athan).
623
624[[AC:{{Film}}]]
625* The BigBad of ''Film/FromDuskTillDawn'' is a vamp (both [[OurVampiresAreDifferent literally]] and [[TheVamp figuratively]]) named Santánico Pandemonium.
626
627[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
628* Subverted in Creator/TimothyZahn's ''Heir to the Empire'' trilogy, as, when Han and Lando first meet Garm Bel Iblis, they disagree on whether he can be trusted, with Han sure he's on the up-and-up, while Lando is more suspicious. Readers familiar with this trope might tend to side with Lando, since Garm was the name, in Norse myth, of the Hound that guarded the gate to the underworld, while Bel, an alternate spelling of ba'al, in Christian demonology, was/is the name of a demon, while, Iblis is, in Arabic, an alternate name for Satan. It turns out, however, that Han is right and Garm Bel Iblis is a straightforward white-hat.
629* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' features recurring villain Nicodemus Archleone, leader of the Knights of the Blackened Denarius (who also qualify for a different angle on this trope). At one point Dresden calls him out on his supposed last name--Archleone meaning "great lion"--actually being a biblical reference to the Devil as "a roaring lion... seeking whom he may devour." Nicodemus for his part seems genuinely amused that Harry actually noticed despite being an "unbeliever."
630
631[[AC: Live Action TV]]
632* ''Series/{{Kings}}'': Vesper Abbadon, portrayed by Brian Cox.
633* ''Series/BattlestarGalactica1978'' has the SatanicArchetype Count Iblis, who may be a SufficientlyAdvancedAlien or an actual demon.
634
635[[AC:TabletopGames]]
636* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' has several.
637** Several archfiends are named after demons from ''Literature/ArsGoetia'', including the archdevil Barbatos and the demon lords Flauros, Haagenti, and Shax.
638** The Horseman of Plague and daemon lord Apollyon is named after the Greek version of Abbadon.
639** Baphomet is the demon lord of mazes, named after an occult figure the Knights Templar were accused of worshipping.
640** The ascended demon and goddess of monsters Lamashtu was named after a Sumerian demon that preyed on infants.
641* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' generally prefers to create its major archfiends' names from whole cloth, with names from demonology mainly being used as filler on lists of DemonLordsAndArchDevils. There are exceptions, like Baphomet (who is very similar to his ''Pathfinder'' counterpart).
642
643[[AC:VideoGames]]
644* ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' has the QuirkyMinibossSquad, the {{Seven|DeadlySins}} Sisters of Purgatory: Lucifer, Satan, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Leviathan, Belphegor, and Mammon. Their main job in the series is carrying out human sacrifices to resurrect their mistress. (And {{Fanservice}}.)
645** The demons from ''VideoGame/ArsGoetia'' - Ronove, Gaap, Zepar, and Furfur - also follow this trope pretty well, to the same extent as the Stakes of Purgatory.
646* ''VideoGame/CookieClicker'' has demonic upgrades buyable when [[NewGamePlus Ascending]], which help you retain optimal cookie production for a time after closing the game (starts at one hour, with each new upgrade doubling that time). The upgrades are, in order: Belphegor, Mammon, Abaddon, Satan, Asmodeus, Beelzebub and Lucifer. Their counterpart, the angelic upgrades, cause the cookie production after said time to increase.
647* Caim from ''VideoGame/{{Drakengard}}''. Named after a demon of the ''Literature/ArsGoetia''. Rides a [[DragonRider dragon.]][[AxCrazy Completely]] '''''[[AxCrazy batshit insane]]'''''.
648* [[BearsAreBadNews Yao Guai]] (Chinese for demon) in the ''Franchise/{{Fallout}}'' series.
649* The Verlac (German origin, "warlock") family of CosmicHorror cultists in ''VideoGame/{{Anchorhead}}''.
650* Several models of combat drones from ''VideoGame/GhostReconBreakpoint'' have names inspired by ''Literature/ArsGoetia'', like Andras, Aym, Malphas, Murmur and Stolas.
651
652[[AC:WebComics]]
653* Doc Scratch from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', an enigmatic, subtle figure with mysterious, vast powers and ambiguous morality at best, almost like Old Scratch himself.
654* ''Webcomic/KaitenMutenmaru'': Sick Valachlorophenol is the main villain of the second season. The official Website/{{Twitter}} account implicitly [[https://twitter.com/kura_mutenmaru/status/186295960987643904 confirms]] that his surname partly derives from Valac, a demon from the ''Literature/ArsGoetia''.
655
656[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
657* Chernabog (Slavic for "black god") in ''{{WesternAnimation/Fantasia}}''.

660
661!!Angelic names
662For anyone who wishes to keep track, [[https://web.archive.org/web/20190620184029/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Enochian_angels here is a convenient score card]] for the Angel team.
663
664[[folder:Angel (and variations)]]
665Ancient Greek for "messenger", originally used to refer to any kind of messenger, celestial or not. Its use as agents of God was influenced by its use in the Bible, in which it was used as a calque for the Hebrew word ''mal'akh''.
666----
667[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
668* Evangeline Athanasia Katherine [=McDowell=] from ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'', has a hard K sound in the middle names just to increase the fear. Also an OverlyLongName, and the girl has a number of [[RedBaron Titles to Run Away From Really Fast]]
669** [[EmbarrassingMiddleName She hates it]] [[FluffyTheTerrible when people call her "Kitty"]].
670** Despite the angel-derived name, she is [[NobleDemon very much a demon and won't hesitate to remind you]].
671* Digimon has the Angemon-Species who's members include Angemon, Pidmon, Angewomon and Magna Angemon. Although, not members of the Angemon-Species, related Digimon include, Seraphimon, Ophanimon, Cherubimon, Darcmon, Dominimon, Rasielmon and Mastemon.
672* ''Manga/BlackButler'' has two: Angelina Durless (aka Madame Red) [[spoiler: who is actually one-half of Jack The Ripper]], and [[LightIsNotGood Angela Blanc]] [[spoiler: the female identity of a [[GenderBender hermaphroditic]] [[OurAngelsAreDifferent batshit crazy angel]] who wants to [[PureIsNotGood purify]] London by [[KillItWithFire burning out the sin]]]].
673* The mind-rending, city-destroying, giant alien monsters of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' are called Angels. While some have almost beautiful shapes, most are bestial monsters or, seemingly, physically impossible (such as a 600-metre by 3 nanometre floating circle and a floating, proton beam-firing octahedron) , the most beautiful Angel, Arael, a giant, glowing, winged creature in space, is the cause of the trope-naming MindRape, and is a prime example of LightIsNotGood.
674
675[[AC:ComicBooks]]
676* ''ComicBook/{{Spawn}}'': Angela.
677* ''ComicBook/XMen'': Angel.
678
679[[AC:{{Film}}]]
680* ''Film/HotFuzz'': Sgt. Nicholas Angel, badge number 777.
681* Harold "Harry" Angel, the shady private detective in ''Film/AngelHeart''. Only by the end do we know how bad he really is: [[spoiler:He's really an evil occultist named Johnny Favorite, the very same man he was looking for. He tried to cheat Satan out of the deal he made with him prior to the start of the film, by stealing the identity of the real Harold Angel]].
682
683[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
684* Angela, the [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} kooky]] but fearsome witch from the ''Literature/InheritanceCycle.''
685
686[[AC:LiveActionTV]]
687* [[MagnificentBastard Angela]] from ''Series/{{Heroes}}''.
688* The title character of ''Series/{{Angel}}'' is a good guy... when he's going by that name. However, if he's calling himself Angelus, ''[[SuperpoweredEvilSide run]]''.
689* Weeping Angels are a race of {{Eldritch Abomination}}s on ''Series/DoctorWho''.
690
691[[AC:VideoGames]]

695
696[[AC:RealLife]]
697* Destroying Angel mushrooms, being closely related to the equally ghoulish Death Cap, contain some of the deadliest known mycotoxins. Even touching one can kill you. Even better? It doesn't ''just'' kill you, it kills you after three or so days due to it shutting down your liver and kidneys.
698* The Angel of Death was the nickname of the infamous [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi]] concentration camp doctor Josef Mengele.
699* In Scandinavia, [[OrphanageOfFear baby farmers]] were known as Angel Makers.
700
701[[/folder]]
702
703[[folder:Azrael]]
704Anglicized form of the name for the Angel of Death in Islam and some Hebrew lore. According to more modern Anglicization it would be Isra'il. Not to be confused with Israfil- which is the Muslim name for Raphael.
705----
706[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
707* Muruta Azrael of ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed Gundam SEED]]'', an [[SmugSnake arrogant]], [[HeManWomanHater misogynistic]], [[FantasticRacism racist]] lobbyist and politician who seeks to [[FinalSolution kill every]] [[BornWinner Coordinator]] in existence with [[NukeEm nuclear weapons]] and uses [[PsychoSerum drugged up]] {{Tykebomb}}s as front-line ChildSoldiers.

722* Azreal, the leader of the Poppy Warriors in the Literature/GemmaDoyle Trilogy.
723* The Literature/{{Discworld}} has regular old Death, and he's quite a nice chap when you get to know him, but Death answers to Azrael, the Death of Worlds. [[spoiler:HE'S NOT BAD EITHER.]]
724
725[[AC:{{Music}}]]
726* The subject of "Azrael" by proto-prog group The Nice.
727* Also the subject of the song of the same name by HeavyMetal band Crimson Glory.
728
729[[AC:TabletopGames]]
730* Current Chapter Master of the Dark Angels in ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' is one Azrael.
731* ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}} Spaceships'' features the [[WeaponOfMassDestruction relativistic kill missile]] ''Azrael''.
732* The Beryl Azrael in ''TabletopGame/AnimaBeyondFantasy'', but InNameOnly.
733
734[[AC:VideoGames]]
735* Azurile from ''[[VideoGame/DragonQuestMonsters Dragon Warrior Monsters]]''
736* Izual from ''VideoGame/DiabloII'' is possibly a corruption of this name.
737* A major villain in ''VideoGame/ChaosLegion''.
738* Indie fangame ''[[http://www.rpgrevolution.com/game/final-fantasy-time-and-again_43.html Final Fantasy: Time And Again]]'' has Azrael as the main character, [[AuthorAvatar who also happens to be the creator's webname]], as a Dragoon. She's called "[[AffectionateNickname Azzie]]" in the game.
739* ''Videogame/FinalFantasyXII'' has the esper [[SignificantAnagram Zal]][[TheGrimReaper era]]. It has a horned skull for a head and was a grim reaper analogue in its backstory.
740* Azrael is the name of a ''Franchise/BlazBlue'' character introduced in ''[[VideoGame/BlazBlueChronoPhantasma Chrono Phantasma]]'', who is an AxCrazy BloodKnight [[PersonOfMassDestruction of Mass Destruction]]. For bonus points, his Drive is called ''The Terror''.
741* Asriel Dreemurr from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' definitely falls under this, in all his OneWingedAngel form-having glory. [[spoiler: Also he absorbs the souls of all your friends to attain this form.]]
742* Azrael recon drones from ''VideoGame/GhostReconBreakpoint'' jam your radar and summon a pack of EliteMooks supported by drones if they spot you. This indeed means death if you don't turtle up somewhere or respond with massive amounts of firepower.
743
744[[AC:{{Webcomics}}]]
745* Azurai from ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'' is a [[AxCrazy bloodthirsty]] [[PlayingWithFire fire demon]] with a HairTriggerTemper. [[note]] [[WordOfGod Chu]] stated she was originally just going to name him Azrael but eventually found it overused and added the rai part "because he's orange.[[/note]]
746[[/folder]]
747
748[[folder:Exodus]]
749Possibly due to XtremeKoolLetterz; and the vaguest recollection that it was something in the Bible; which is [[FauxSymbolism Significant]]. Baffling when you ponder that it simply means "exit" in Ancient Greek.
750----
751[[AC:CardGames]]
752* ''Exodia, The Forbidden One'' will instantly win a ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' game when summoned.
753
754[[AC:ComicBooks]]

756
757[[AC:VideoGames]]
758* The Exodar in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''. Bonus points for being the Draenei's means of ''exit'' from Draenor.
759* One way the BigBad of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'' was [[SpellMyNameWithAnS translated]] before it was officially settled to "Exdeath"; others have included "Exodia."
760** Exodus is also an esper in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII''.
761* The titular BigBad of ''VideoGame/UltimaIII: Exodus''.
762* The antagonists of ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia'' are an organization named Exodus. [[spoiler:Given that their goal is to return to their home world of Elympios by any means necessary, the name makes perfect sense.]]
763[[/folder]]
764
765[[folder:Gabriel]]
766This one's a double whammy with the whole Angel of Death / left hand of God thing. As a result, the name tends to get disproportionately used for villains among archangels' names, even though Abrahamic religions see the archangel as nothing but loyal to God.
767----
768[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
769* Lord Djibril from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny'', "Djibril" being the Arabic/Islamic form of Gabriel's name.
770* Bagramon from ''Anime/DigimonFusion''; with "Bagra" being a deliberate corruption of "Gabriel".
771
772[[AC: {{Fanfic}}]]

777* Gabriel, the Big Bad of ''Film/TheProphecy''.
778* The main villain of ''Film/{{Constantine}}'' is an angelic half-breed called Gabriel ([[CrosscastRole played by]] Creator/TildaSwinton).
779* In ''Film/{{Legion}}'', Gabriel is the BigBad, being TheDutifulSon of God sent to hunt his brother, Michael, who refuses to carry out the order to eliminate humanity and instead tries to protect them.
780
781[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
782* Played completely straight in ''Literature/FarFromTheMaddingCrowd'' with the character of [[FauxSymbolism Gabriel Oak]]
783
784[[AC:LiveActionTV]]
785* In ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', "Hidden", [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Gabriel Duncan]], who tries to nuke the entire town and came [[BigDamnHeroes dangerously close to succeeding]].
786* Sylar's real name in ''Series/{{Heroes}}''
787* Simon and River's dad from ''{{Series/Firefly}}''
788* Also the name of the mysterious "other" ghost whisperer on ''Series/GhostWhisperer''.
789* Subverted in ''Series/{{Carnivale}}''. Gabriel is the angelic, child-like strongman son of Ruthie the snake charmer. He's [[BerserkButton only dangerous when someone hurts his momma]].
790
791[[AC:TabletopGames]]
792* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' gives us a double-dose of this trope via ''Gabriel Angelos'', Blood Ravens Chapter Master.

797* ''VideoGame/NeverendingNightmares'' has Gabrielle, the protagonist's little sister, who keeps appearing in said nightmares to antagonize him. [[StoryBranching Most of the time.]]
798* ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' has Gabriel Reyes, otherwise known as Reaper/The Reaper (both are used somewhat interchangeably, with the latter being more common in earlier source material). Before Overwatch's fall, he was the head of Overwatch's Blackwatch division and presumably the second in command of Overwatch to Jack Morrison (Soldier: 76). After Overwatch was destroyed and he turned to evil, he became obsessed (at least in-game) with death and killing, to the point of ridiculousness. (Other source materials portray him far less death-obsessed than he appears in game.)
799* ''VideoGame/StarCraftIIWingsOfLiberty'' has Gabriel Tosh, a WitchDoctor-esque Spectre who went rogue to oppose [[TheEmpire the Dominion.]]
800
801[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
802* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' has Gabriel Agreste, who, in addition to being a ControlFreak {{Abusive Parent|s}}, [[spoiler:is also the show's BigBad, [[TheCorrupter Hawk Moth]]]].

813* On ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' he is the voice of religious fundamentalism and zealotry in heaven. Oh that, and he wants to restart the apocalypse which the Winchester boys had previously averted.
814
815[[AC:VideoGames]]
816* [[Characters/SoulSeries Raphael Sorel]] from the VideoGame/SoulSeries.
817
818[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
819* [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles The Ninja Turtle with the pair of sai.]]
820[[/folder]]
821
822[[folder:Raziel]]
823The archangel of mysteries.
824----
825[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
826* From ''Manga/Reborn2004'', we have a PsychoKnifeNut [[EvilPrince crown prince]] who wants to off his equally insane younger twin Belphegor and claim the throne.
827
828[[AC: Literature]]
829* Raziel is an important backstory character in ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'' as the angel who imbued select humans with his blood, giving them a means to fight Downworlders and turning them into the Nephilim. He is summoned in the climax of the third book by Valentine, who intends to use him to create a new race of obedient Shadowhunters, but Clary manages to swap the spell at the last minute, turning Raziel against Valentine.
830* Averted with Raziel from Creator/ChristopherMoore's [[TheVerse verse]]. While he can come off as quite terrifying, he's actually the origin of DumbBlonde jokes, and with good reason. Sent to Earth to grant the Christmas wish of a distraught child, he intends to bring back a MallSanta the kid saw inadvertently killed, but winds up resurrecting a graveyard worth of brain-hungry zombies. In [[Literature/LambTheGospelAccordingToBiff Lamb]], tops himself over and over, leading to pinnacle example of Raziel-ness:
831--> "The angel confided in me that he is going to ask the Lord if he can become Spider-Man"
832
833
834[[AC: TabletopGames]]
835* Raziel is one of the Celestial Hebdomad from the ''Book of Exalted Deeds'' from ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' third edition. He's the most warlike of the archangels, and is a [[DemonSlaying slayer of fiends]].
836
837[[AC: VideoGames]]
838* Raziel from the ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain'' series.
839
840[[/folder]]
841
842[[folder: Uriel]]
843The archangel of arts.
844----
845[[AC:Literature]]
846* Uriel makes several appearances in ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', helping out the protagonist, Harry Dresden, who nicknames him Mr Sunshine. Heavily implied to be the most dangerous archangel, and outright stated to be 'Heaven's spook' and he who killed the firstborn of Egypt. He also gives Harry a very nasty fright when he objects to being called 'Uri'. (Names have power in the Dresden Files universe, and "el" is the part of his name which refers to God; obviously not a good thing to take away from an archangel._
847* The name of a planet visited in ''Literature/AWrinkleInTime'', Particularly the one where the children ride on the back of Mrs. Whatsit, who has transformed into a sort of winged centaur.
848* In Creator/DeanKoontz's novel ''Literature/{{Hideaway}}'', The Angel who it is strongly implied [[spoiler:was the source of Hatch Harrison's visions, and who speaks and acts through him as he kills Vassago, who we know had renamed himself after a Demon]].
849
850[[AC: Fanfiction]]
851* In ''Fanfic/ManchesterLost'' and ''Fanfic/ParadiseThwarted'', he is one of the 4 archangels, and as in the above, possibly the strongest. However, he is also a complete CloudCuckoolander and intersperses moments of pure Badass (he nearly rips Lucifer in half! And throws him all over the place) with hilarious moments e.g. hugging people, becoming a fluffy bunny magnet for 3 weeks and being utterly oblivious to Belial's attentions, Belial being Archdevil of Lust.
