| 14 | * ApeShallNeverKillApe: Zigzagged. After being chipped and rendered unable to harm humans in Season 4, Spike becomes ecstatic when he discovers that he still has the capacity to harm other demons and vampires, and is subsequently ostracized by Sunnydale's demon population for it, to the extent that a group of demons at Willy's bar beat him bloody and throw him out for it. Of course, given all the demon-on-demon violence we see throughout the series, and even more mentioned in backstories, it seems that the demon community's real problem with Spike's actions is less that he's killing other demons and more that he keeps helping [[HunterOfMonsters the Slayer]]. |
| 15 | * BoomerangBigot: Despite their general hatred for humans, most demons have human blood in them - the only for sure purely demonic creatures are the Old Ones that spawned the demons that came after them. |
| 16 | * FantasticRacism: Demons are shown to despise humans in a general whole. Some are outright Nazis where others are too polite to discuss it even among each other. There are a number of apocalyptic cults motivated to kill all humans out of religious dogma rather than racial supremacy. Many demons also look down on vampires due to their being mixed with humans. |
| 17 | * HalfHumanHybrid: Most modern day demon species have some degree of human DNA, the result of the Old Ones interbreeding with humans before their banishment. |
| 18 | * HumansAreUgly: Demons have a wide variety of appearances, usually horrific ones, but express disgust at the appearance of humans. |
| 19 | * OurDemonsAreDifferent: In the Buffyverse, demons are non-human creatures separate from the animal kingdom; the term is used to describe any creature who ''isn't'' a [[PhysicalGod god]], [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots robot]], unmodified human, or even a standard terrestrial animal. |

| 55 | Anya's friend and fellow vengeance demon. Her specialty is answering wishes from children to punish bad parents and parental figures--which is bad when Dawn's issues reach a boiling point. |
| 56 | ---- |
| 57 | * AffablyEvil: Acts quite sweet, calls Willow "lemon drop," etc. Genuinely friendly to Anya, and is in fact her only real friend in demon-dom... [[spoiler:which is why D'Hoffryn murdered her when Anya wanted out of being a vengeance demon]]. |
| 58 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Related to the above, being a seemingly sweet-natured guidance counselor who is really a vengeance demon. Also, her insinuations against Xander to Anya. |
| 59 | * BlatantLies: Halfrek claims that vengeance demons are actually known as "justice demons" to justify her own actions. Neither Anya nor D'Hoffryn make any such claims, and Anya's reaction to it implies that the whole claim is just something Halfrek says to make herself feel righteous in her actions. |
| 60 | * TheConfidant: Becomes this to Anya in season six after she turns back into a vengeance demon. It's Halfrek that tells Anya that she can't grant her own wishes, and encourages her to trick one of her friends into wishing something bad on Xander instead. |
| 61 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: Subjected countless people to this in her many centuries as a vengeance -- sorry, "justice" demon. But what takes the cake is [[spoiler:her ''own'' death. She dies horribly by the hands of her master, who she has been nothing but loyal to, over something that has nothing to do with her. Halfrek never even sees it coming -- she has just enough time to give a cheerful greeting to her best friend Anya when D'Hoffryn teleports her in, and then dies screaming]]. |
| 62 | * DaddyIssues: According to Anya. |
| 63 | * EvilCounterpart: Has no empathy for her victims. She is essentially Anya before becoming human. |
| 64 | * FailedAttemptAtDrama: In "Older And Far Away," she tries to teleport away dramatically (twice) but her own spell keeps her in the house. |
| 65 | * FriendToAllChildren: She genuinely believes that what she does helps children. To her credit, she does have a good point that none of the other Scoobies saw how much Dawn was hurting, so her intentions are at least good. |
| 66 | * FriendlyRival: To Anya. |
| 67 | * GameFace: She can appear human if she needs to, but she most commonly appears as a vengeance demon. |
| 68 | * HoistByTheirOwnPetard: In "Older and Far Away," she grants Dawn's wish that nobody would leave her by casting a spell so that anyone who entered Buffy's house would be trapped inside. She teleports in to [[EvilGloating gloat]] about how none of the Scoobies noticed Dawn's abandonment issues and they all deserve to be trapped for ignoring her, and then tries to dramatically teleport away... only to discover she's fallen victim to her own curse; much to her own annoyance, Halfrek is forced to break the spell in order to leave. |
| 69 | * {{Irony}}: Halfrek is a vengeance demon, which are known for granting wishes as maliciously as possible. [[spoiler:She's ultimately killed by the ''head'' vengeance demon, who was granting another person's wish as maliciously as possible]]. |
| 70 | * JackassGenie: |
| 71 | ** The basic ''modus operandi'' for vengeance demons. Halfrek pretends to be a guidance councilor, tricks Dawn into wishing for something, and then immediately grants it, not caring what the wish is or how it may affect the girl she's supposedly "getting justice" for. |
| 72 | ** This is also [[spoiler:how she dies. Anya wants to sacrifice her own life to bring back the people she killed. D'Hoffryn agrees to bring them back for "the life and soul of a vengeance demon" -- and then kills ''Halfrek'' right in front of Anya's horrified eyes]]. |
| 73 | * KillItWithFire: A tragic example, as [[spoiler:it's how Halfrek dies, immolated from the inside out by her own boss]]. |
| 74 | * PetTheDog: She seemed to genuinely care about Dawn's problems and thought she was doing the right thing. |
| 75 | * RedOniBlueOni: Halfrek is more easygoing and worldly compared to the workaholic and awkward Anya. |
| 76 | * RichBitch: As Cecily. |
| 77 | * UnwittingPawn: Is this to D'Hoffryn. Like all vengeance demons, she's just being used by D'Hoffryn to spread misery and suffering as much as possible, and he cares nothing for her. This is definitively proven when [[spoiler: he kills her just to make Anya suffer, while sneering that there will always be broken young women to replace her]]. |
| 78 | * VillainTeleportation: One of the standard powers of a vengeance demon. Unfortunately for Halfrek, it doesn't work when she cast a spell on the Summers house to keep ''anyone'' from leaving. |

| 98 | * MurderTheHypotenuse: Tries to kill Willow so she can have Oz to herself and make him embrace being a werewolf. |
| 99 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: She only has bit parts in two episodes before becoming the MonsterOfTheWeek in "Wild at Heart," but her actions in that episode for Oz to leave Sunnydale to find himself. |
| 100 | * TheVamp: She uses her womanly wiles to seduce Oz away from Willow and to try to convince him to come around to her way of thinking. Her attractiveness--or rather, Oz's werewolf attraction to her--is her main weapon to achieve her goals. |

| 123 | |
| 124 | An ancient demon sent to wipe out humanity. Drusilla and Spike assembled him and brought him to life. |
| 125 | ---- |
| 126 | * ChekhovsGunman: According to WordOfGod, the Judge was created specifically so the audience would know Angelus wasn't just [[HydePlaysJekyll Angel pretending to be evil]], in the scene where he can't burn the goodness out because there's none there. |
| 127 | * DeaderThanDead: If he is killed with any weapon forged, he can come back to life quite easily. But when Buffy blows him up with a rocket launcher, the Judge is gone for good. For good measure, she even instructs her friends to keep the pieces of his body separate so he can't reform. |
| 128 | * DePower: When he awakens, he's too weak to zap his victims like he once did. He has to physically touch them. |
| 129 | * TheDreaded: Everyone who knows of The Judge is terrified of him due to his power and the gang will do anything they can to stop his return. Even other demons and vampires are scared of him. |
| 130 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: His first act upon resurrection is to disdainfully burn up Dalton just because the poor bastard reads. |
| 131 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Fitting a demon of his stature, the Judge has a very deep voice. |
| 132 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: Having been dismembered and buried underground for hundreds of years, the Judge is quite unfamiliar with modern weapons and technology. When Buffy whips out a rocket launcher to blow him to smithereens, he has no idea what it is and just stands there like an idiot while Angelus and Drusilla [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere get the hell out of Dodge]]. |
| 133 | * GoodHurtsEvil: The Judge dislikes being around human emotion, hence his desire to purge the world of it. |
| 134 | * LevelGrinding: He gets stronger with each life he takes. |
| 135 | * NighInvulnerability: He cannot be harmed by forged weapons, and he was only mildly inconvenienced when Angel made some scaffolding collapse on him. In addition, cutting or blasting him to pieces doesn't kill him, and his pieces will reattach if brought together. |
| 136 | * OhCrap: Averted in a very funny way. He has no idea what a rocket launcher is or that he needs to dodge it so his only response upon seeing one is genuine curiosity before being blown to smithereens. |
| 137 | * OneHitKill: He can nearly instantly incinerate any being with a trace of goodness within them. The only being shown to be immune is Angelus, who is pure evil. |
| 138 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: He showed himself capable of destroying multiple people at once, and he wasn't at full power. Giles states that at full power, he would have been able to incinerate humans by merely ''looking'' at them. |
| 139 | * UnskilledButStrong: So used to curb-stomping entire armies and never having to worry about dodging or fighting beyond "point and kill it", that when Buffy uses a rocket launcher, he doesn't even know to dodge. |

| 150 | * Hellgate: His mouth functions as a portal to one of the worst hell dimensions out there, where anything with a soul is subject to agonizing and eternal torment. |
| 151 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Once Angelus starts awakening him, Acathla's eyes start glowing red. |

| 225 | * OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Lycanthropy can be transmitted by bite regardless of transformation state (Oz became a werewolf when he was bitten by his baby cousin Jordy, before he even knew Jordy was a werewolf), and werewolves display a heightened sense of smell and a vulnerability to silver. They change three times every moon cycle: the night of the full moon and the two surrounding nights. They retain very little of their human intelligence or personality when shifted, usually killing and eating people they come across indiscriminately. With meditation, chanting and herbs, Oz and the other werewolves at a Tibetan monastery were able to overcome the lunar cycle and remain in human form under the full moon, but now can change even during the day if they get upset enough. |
| 226 | * ThereIsNoCure: The series is a pretty big FantasyKitchenSink, but lycanthropy is one of the few transhuman conditions that's truly considered incurable and has been consistently portrayed as such. It can only be treated (or altered by exposure to AnotherDimension), not cured. |

Independently of Glory (sort of), Jinx ends up being beaten up and later stabbed by Ben. |
| 240 | * DangerTakesABackseat: Dreg does this with Ben, but he's really no danger to him at all for a variety of reasons. |
| 241 | * TheLeader: Jinx holds some position of leadership among Glory's minions. We later see a High Priest who appears briefly. |
| 242 | * TheNicknamer: They frequently address Glory with grovelling titles of their own invention, like "the Glorious One", "Her Splendiferousness," "Her Sparkling Luminescence", "[[HotGod Oh Sweaty-Naughty-Feelings-Causing One]]", "Most beauteous and supremely magnificent one", "Most tingly and wonderful Glorificus", "Shiny special one", "Your terrifically smooth one", "Most silky and effervescent Glorificus", "Your most fresh and clean-ness, it's just a matter of time", "Your creamy coolness", "Most glamorous yet tasteful one", "glittering, glistening Glorificus" and "Your new and improved-ness" among others. |

| 245 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: Aside from Gronx, the rest of Glory's minions (that are seen) seem to be exclusively male. |

| 257 | An eccentric old man who is actually a reptilian demon with vast knowledge of the dark arts. |
| 258 | ---- |
| 259 | * AffablyEvil: Due in no small part to being played by Joel Grey, Doc comes across as an eccentric, grandfatherly type. Even when he's slicing up a young girl and tossing people off a tower, he's unfailingly polite. |
| 260 | * BadassBoast: When Spike makes one, Doc returns with one of his own. |
| 261 | -->'''Spike:''' This won't take long. |

| 263 | * BlackEyesOfEvil: His eyes terrifyingly turn black when Dawn shakes his hand. |

| 278 | * UncertainDoom: We don't see him after Buffy pushes him off the tower, but since he previously survived a sword through the chest, he may have survived the fall. |

| 305 | |
| 306 | A sentient giant female praying mantis. She assumed the appearance of a beautiful woman to seduce young virgin men to reproduce and kill them. |
| 307 | ---- |
| 308 | * ArtisticLicenceBiology: It's something of an urban myth that Mantises eat the heads of their mates; it's seen in the lab, but not in the wild. She also makes a sound like a cicada, presumably for a more horrifying effect. |
| 309 | * AttemptedRape: She tries to mate with a very unwilling Xander and Blayne. |
| 310 | * BigCreepyCrawlies: The clue is very much in the name; she's a giant praying mantis. |
| 311 | * ConceiveAndKill: Her modus operandi. |
| 312 | * ExorcistHead: She can rotate her head 180 degrees. It's described accurately by Buffy as a "full-on Exorcist twist". |
| 313 | * HeadTurningBeauty As seen in her slow-motion entrance, the boys at school tend to get distracted by her beauty when she walks past them. Although part of it seems to be the [[LivingAphrodisiac the pheromones that she secretes]]. |
| 314 | * HorrifyingTheHorror: A vampire is about to attack her when it realises she isn't human and runs for its life. Buffy witnesses this, and it's what tips her off that something isn't right about her. |
| 315 | * HotForTeacher: Every boy at the school (and Giles) is enchanted with her. |
| 316 | * ImAHumanitarian: As would be expected of a giant praying mantis, she eats people. |
| 317 | * MonsterIsAMommy: The She-Mantis had a huge sack of eggs in her basement. She plans to lay more by having Xander and Blayne fertilise other eggs she could lay and then bite off their heads. After the She-Mantis is killed, Buffy destroys her sack of eggs, meaning the eggs in the basement will not hatch. There is also a small egg sack in the Science closet, presumably eggs that were fertilised by Dr. Gregory, and the end shows them hatching. |
| 318 | * LivingAphrodisiac: Due to the pheromones she secretes. Being seriously hot is probably a bonus, though. |
| 319 | * LittleBlackDress: She wears a very cleavagey black dress when seducing Xander. |
| 320 | -->'''Xander:''' It's the most beautiful chest... dress I've ever seen. |
| 321 | * LogicalWeakness: The She-Mantis may be a demon, but it's still a bug. The Scoobies are able to ward it off using cans of bug spray, and Buffy plays recorded bat sonar to paralyze it, since bats pray on mantises and hearing their sonar makes their nervous system "go to hell." |
| 322 | * MonsterOfTheWeek: She's referenced from time to time later in the series. |
| 323 | * MrsRobinson: She seduces young, male virgins to mate with and then eat. She accomplishes this by using her sex appeal to easily seduce them into coming willingly to her house. |
| 324 | * SlippingAMickey: She drugs her victims to get them in her cage. |
| 325 | * RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: It is implied she raped Dr. Gregory, and she definitely wasn't interested in whether or not her victims consented to mating with her. |

| 403 | * AffablyEvil: Ampata is willing to kill, but in her view it's necessary and she's otherwise a charming young woman who's easy to like. She has no taste for murder, it's just the only way she can survive. |
| 404 | * AliensSpeakingEnglish: She learned the language after all the years that she was toured all over the country. |
| 405 | * AndIMustScream: She was imprisoned in her own corpse. |
| 406 | * AntiVillain: Ampata died young, an unfair and innocent victim of her people's culture. Even when resurrected, all she wants is to live the life that was taken from her. She's not sadistic or cruel, just desperate to keep on living even at the cost of the lives of others. |
| 407 | -->'''Guardian:''' You are already dead. For 500 years. |

| 412 | * EvilCounterpart: To Buffy. They both yearn for normality, but fate and circumstance put a stop to their hopes. Admittedly, Ampata got a pretty raw deal in contrast to Buffy. |

| 419 | * SealedEvilInACan: She was imprisoned within her own corpse for thousands of years. |
| 420 | * SeductiveMummy |
| 421 | * TragicVillain: She didn't end up a life-draining mummy by choice, and at heart, all she wants is a normal life, something that she ends up being denied at every turn. |
| 422 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Sure, she kills with a KissOfDeath and is certainly dangerous, but it's hard not to feel sorry for her considering her tragic origins.

| 453 | * EvilSoundsDeep: No matter who it's possessing, it can speak with a very deep voice. |
| 454 | * EldritchAbomination: It's a powerful and ancient demonic being that can raise the dead and has a true form that is seriously ''wrong.'' |
| 455 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Highlighted in ''Angel & Faith'', where it can put on a façade of civility just so it can laugh in its victims' faces and tear them down. |

| 457 | * GottaKillEmAll: Its ultimate goal is to kill everyone who initially summoned it. |
| 458 | * ImplacableMan: Eyghon ''can'' be stopped, but it's far from easy. Even killing its host body doesn't put an end to it, as it just jumps to the next one. |
| 459 | * LogicalWeakness: It can't possess the undead bodies of vampires since they ''already'' contain a demon, and so the two demons will vie for control until Eyghon is expelled. |
| 460 | * ManipulativeBastard: As highlighted in ''Angel & Faith''. It's even formed a "resurrection scam" where it possesses and reanimates corpses, and then tricks their friends into thinking that they've actually come BackFromTheDead. |
| 461 | * MarkOfTheBeast: Handily known as "The Mark of Eyghon". |

| 508 | A race of half-human/half-fish creatures. The monsters were the result of steroids administered by Coach Carl Marin. He managed to find the solution to old Soviet Experiments on the DNA of fish such as tarpon and mako shark to improve the performance of Olympic swimmers. Even though the formula was successful on the Sunnydale High Swim Team, extended use eventually led to the boys transforming into large, humanoid fish-like monsters. When transforming, the person's skin would completely shed off, leaving a mindless beast with a taste for human flesh and the capability of breathing both underwater and on land. |

| 511 | * BodyHorror: Their transformation is so gruesome that the Scoobies initially assume that they've been brutally attacked and killed. In reality, they're transforming in a way that involves their skin shedding in an extremely painful way. |
| 512 | * BullyingADragon: It was a terrifically bad idea for Cameron to try his aggressive schtick with Buffy. She effortlessly breaks his nose off his own steering wheel. |
| 513 | * FaceMonsterTurn: Their transformation reduces them to mindless beasts without an ounce of the person they were. Considering they weren't great people to begin with, they actually become a little more sympathetic post-transformation. At least their deadly actions can be excused by them just being animals. |

| 515 | * ImAHumanitarian: After transforming fully into Gill Monsters, they develop a taste for human flesh. |
| 516 | * JerkJock: '''All of them.''' Each one is nasty piece of work; stuck-up, bullying, entitled and even mildly sadistic. Special points go to Cameron, for being a self-absorbed budding rapist. |
| 517 | * MonsterOfTheWeek: For "Go Fish". |
| 518 | * SlutShaming: Cameron blames Buffy for his borderline AttemptedRape, saying she was 'leading him on'. |
| 519 | * SovietSuperscience: Their origins can be traced back to old Soviet experiments which were somehow uncovered by Coach Marin. He and Nurse Greenleigh cracked the formula, although they're likely less responsible than the Hellmouth's mystical influence. |
| 520 | * TooSpicyForYogSothoth: When Angelus tries to sire Gage, he's surprised and repulsed by the taste and abandons his recruitment. This is pre-transformation. |

| 530 | * BadHabits: Ken runs a Red Cross-esque quasi-religious homeless shelter called "Family Home"; in reality, it's a front for a demonic workhouse. |
| 531 | * BadSamaritan: Ken "helps" the homeless and runaway kids by sending them to a Hell dimension where time runs much faster than it does on Earth. There, they are worked as slaves until they die of old age. |

| 535 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Ken initially appears to be a sweet, thoughtful, mildly bumbling fellow who's genuinely trying to help out the young runaways of Los Angeles. The truth is that he's a sadistic demonic slave-driver who lures vulnerable young people to his shelter, traps them in his world and works them until they're too old before letting them out to wander the streets of L.A. |
| 536 | * BreakingSpeech: After capturing Buffy and Anne/Lily, he turns up at their cell to go a bit of gloating. Buffy has seen worse, but Anne/Lily takes it hard. |

| 550 | * ShutUpHannibal: Buffy shuts up his angry accusations with a big ol' stick to the head. |

| 843 | A robot created by Warren Mears to be his girlfriend and inadvertently the inspiration for the Buffybot. |
| 844 | ---- |
| 845 | * AIIsACrapshoot: PlayedWith. While she definitely goes beyond Warren's expectations and does quite a bit of damage, she doesn't really go beyond the programming. Warren just didn't really think things through when he programmed her and subsequently abandoned her. |
| 846 | * AntiVillain: April doesn't want to hurt anyone, and even when she does, the fault is due to Warren's short-sighted programming, not any choice on April's part. |
| 847 | * BearHug: She gives a downright dangerous one to Katrina. |
| 848 | * BerserkButton: Don't even imply that you're trying to get between her and Warren. Spike got himself tossed through a window, Katrina was knocked unconscious, and Buffy was nearly strangled to death. |
| 849 | * CutTheJuice: Buffy doesn't bring April down; her batteries just run out. |
| 850 | * DestinationDefenestration: When Spike tries to hit on her [[OperationJealousy to make Buffy jealous]], April's immediate response is to bodily toss him out a window. |
| 851 | * HughMann: Her mannerisms are so stilted and bizarre, along with her SuperStrength, that the Scoobies quickly deduce that she's a robot. |
| 852 | * ImprovisedWeapon: Not that she needs it, but she breaks off a part of a playground see-saw to go to town on Buffy with. |
| 853 | * LetThemDieHappy: Buffy sits with April as her batteries run out, calmly lying to her that Warren will come back for her. |
| 854 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: Discussed; the Scoobies don't initially see April as much of a threat, since she's just looking for her boyfriend, and [[AssholeVictim actually approve of her tossing Spike out the window]]. When Buffy talks with Warren about April to confirm it, that's when it hits her that April ''is'' a threat: |
| 855 | -->'''Buffy''': Warren, this is important. Is she dangerous?\ |
| 856 | '''Warren''': She's only programmed to be in love.\ |
| 857 | '''Buffy''': [[{{Yandere}} Then she's dangerous.]] |
| 858 | * RidiculouslyHumanRobots: To the untrained eye she's just an odd-mannered human girl, but the Scoobies work out what she is very quickly. |
| 859 | * SexBot: Warren made her, uh, fully functional. |
| 860 | * SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids: Despite just being created to be a SexBot, April has SuperStrength, a combat mode, and only fails to defeat Buffy because [[CutTheJuice her batteries run down]]. |
| 861 | * ThisCannotBe: She is deeply confused, hurt and in denial to find Warren left her for Katrina. |
| 862 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Buffy certainly feels sympathy for her. Warren's treatment of April serves as foreshadowing for how he views women in general. |
| 863 | * {{Yandere}}: For Warren, as she's programmed to be. |

| 882 | A powerful demon whose mere presence could cause the inhabitants of an area he visited burst into song and dance, which would lead to some of the victims to spontaneously combust. |
| 883 | ---- |
| 884 | * AffablyEvil: A fairly lighthearted and pleasant guy, despite his sadistic love of making people dance til they explode. |
| 885 | * TheBadGuyWins: Notable for being the ''only'' villain to get a clear win over Buffy. Sweet rolls into town, causes several people to burst into flames, kidnaps Dawn, gets the Scooby gang to confess all their dark secrets, ruins several relationships, and nearly kills Buffy and there was ''nothing'' the heroes could do to stop him. Sweet ultimately decides to leave of his own accord not because he was threatened or cowed, but because he simply decided he didn't want to mary Xander. |

| 888 | * CruelMercy: What he ultimately grants to Buffy after deciding that keeping her ''alive'' is far worse than actually killing her. |
| 889 | * DepravedBisexual: Hinted at; upon learning that the one who summoned him was Xander and not Dawn, the former asks if he'll have to be his "bride". Sweet's response is to glance at him and say "it's tempting..." before turning him down. |
| 890 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Sweet has a pleasantly deep, smooth voice. |
| 891 | * FeetFirstIntroduction: His nifty tap-dancing abilities are seen before him. |
| 892 | * GracefulLoser: "Loser" is a strong word given Buffy doesn't actually beat him, but Sweet sportingly concedes defeat simply because he doesn't want to marry Xander. |
| 893 | * IHaveManyNames: According to him, he has 'a hundred'. |
| 894 | * IncomingHam: His tapdance intro. |
| 895 | * KarmaHoudini: Sweet blows into town causing chaos and death, but leaves unharmed and ultimately scores the only clean victory any villain has over Buffy. |
| 896 | * KillItWithFire: His whole singing and dancing routine results in some people combusting. |
| 897 | * LargeHam: He's an all-singing all-dancing demon! |
| 898 | * NoNameGiven: It's subtle, but the elusiveness of his name crops up more than once. The Scoobies do eventually find information on him, but no name, and he doesn't give a name when Buffy asks him. "Sweet" is AllThereInTheScript, and probably not his real name if he's been around since Roman times. |
| 899 | * NotWorthKilling: What he decides to do with Buffy. At no point do the Scoobies show any ability to counteract or fight off his magics. They basically survive because Sweet decides to leave on his own, since he feels causing them pain and torment that won't easily go away to be his real victory. |
| 900 | * NonActionBigBad: Sweet doesn't directly engage in battle with Buffy or any of the Scoobies. He doesn't have to, though, as they all dance to his tune. |
| 901 | * OrcusOnHisThrone: Sweet never leaves the Bronze, instead sending his minions out to kidnap Dawn and bring Buffy to him. Fitting, given that Sweet doesn't desire to rule, but rather sit back and enjoy the show. |
| 902 | * PragmaticVillainy: Sweet ultimately decides that it's not worth it to force Xander to be his bride, even though it's part of the invocation that summoned him. Besides, Sweet ''got'' what he wanted, which was to terrorize Buffy and her friends for his own amusement. |
| 903 | * PunchClockVillain: Sweet is really only doing what he was summoned to do. People bursting into flames due to signing their hearts out is merely just a side effect of his magic and he doesn't really seem to go out of his way to cause it. When he decides he's got everything he wanted, he simply ''leaves.'' |
| 904 | * RealityWarper: His mere presence causes everyone to burst into song, complete with special effects! |
| 905 | * VillainExitStageLeft: In typical Sweet hammy mode, he bids the Scoobies farewell and that he'll see them all 'in hell' before stylishly teleporting away. |
| 906 | * VillainOfTheWeek: Of "Once More With Feeling", and a particularly memorable one. |
| 907 | * VillainSong: "What You Feel". |

| 1095 | * FinalBoss: Of Season 9, after being released from his tomb by Simone Doffler. |
| 1096 | * {{Flight}}: Fully capable of it. |
| 1097 | * MonsterProgenitor: He created the first vampires. |
| 1098 | * SealedEvilInACan: He was one of the Old Ones entombed in the Deeper Well. |

| 1104 | [[folder:Hopscotch]] |
| 1105 | !!Hopscotch |
| 1106 | An elderly carnival worker who appears in the book ''Coyote Moon''. He and his coworkers are werecoyotes. |
| 1107 | ---- |
| 1108 | * BenevolentMonsters: For the most part, he is like a playful dog in his werecoyote form and he doesn't try to hurt people in his human form either. |
| 1109 | * TokenGoodTeammate: He is the only prominent werecoyte seeking to prevent the resurrection of Spurs Hardaway, their dangeorus former leader, rather than sacrifice people to ensure the resurrection. Admittedly, some EnlightenedSelfInterest is involved, as Hopscotch secretly killed Spurs in the first place due to his exploitation of the carnival workers, and he doesn't want him seeking revenge. |
| 1110 | * WhoWantsToLiveForever: He is immortal due to being a werecoyote, but because he was turned into a werecoyote at an old age, he has poor health, has a hard time attracting lovers, and is more sensitive about the squalor and grunt work of the traveling carnival that the werecoyotes have been bound to for over a century. He only finds happiness whenever he's in his werecoyote formm and hopes to find a way to make that change permanent. |

| 1113 | [[folder:Garth]] |
| 1114 | !!Gar'thraxus the Elder |
| 1115 | An Old One like Mayor Wilkins, who appears in the ''Buffy'' and ''Angel'' crossover ''Monster Island''. He lives on an island where demons (mainly {{Half Human Hybrid}}s) live away from human society, and is one of their leaders. |
| 1116 | ---- |
| 1117 | * AffluentAscetic : In a non-financial sense, he is far older and more powerful than any other demon in his community and is at the very top of the magical world’s FantasticCasteSystem, but he is fairly unobtrusive, lives in modest dwellings, and considers himself to be lesser than far weaker creatures. |
| 1118 | * EldritchAbomination: He once helped rule the Earth during an era of magic, chaos, and destruction millions of years ago. He is over fifty feet tall, with a head that shoots flames out, tentacles in place of a mouth, and praying mantis arms. |
| 1119 | * IHatePastMe: He acknowledges that Earth was like Hell when he and his kind ruled over it but insists he is no longer that person and just wants to be left in peace. |
| 1120 | * ShamingTheMob: He interrupts an invasion by Nazi-like demons who see his neighbors as impure and makes a BreakingSpeech about how if someone with his powers and pedigree doesn't view the half-demons as unworthy and impure, then the so-called Coalition of Purity has no right to that mindset. Whether or not his words move all of the villains is unclear, but the ones who are unmoved are too terrified at the idea of fighting Garth to press the matter. |
| 1121 | * StoryBreakerPower: He initially refuses to help fight an army of invaders (to the dismay of the heroes), largely because he thinks his powers would make the fight too unfair for the villains. Once Garth finally does decide to fight, Fred describes this as a DeusExMachina. Garth is stronger, and more durable than anyone else present, and the evil demons almost all stand down and go home rather than fight him. |

| 1125 | !! The Moruach |
| 1126 | A tribe of aquatic creatures from another dimension who come to Sunnydale in the novel ''The Wisdom Of War'' along with their ancient enemy, a beast called the Aegir. Buffy spends much of the book trying to figure out if they are a malignant force or not. |
| 1127 | ---- |
| 1128 | * ForgotAboutHisPowers: This is PlayedForDrama InUniverse. Their ancestors trapped the Aegir with a binding spell and the Watchers Council released the Aegir in an effort to make the Morauch cast the spell again in order to learn how to cast it and use it against other threats. Unfortunately, the present generation of the species lacks the ability to recast the spell, leaving the Aegir free to go on a rampage. |
| 1129 | * IChooseToStay: They spend most of the book trying to flee back to their home dimension through the Hellmouth. However, [[spoiler:once the Aegir dies, they decide to stay on Earth, as they like its oceans and no longer have to worry about their predator]]. |
| 1130 | * NonMaliciousMonster: Throughout the book, several characters note that they yet to kill any Sunnydale citizens except in self-defense. They do consider vampires a delicacy, but that indirectly benefits the humans who most vampires kill. [[spoiler:Ultimately, it turns out that they are non-malicious and only the Aegir is truly evil]]. |

| 1136 | ---- |
| 1137 | * AntiHero: She is an ally of Spike during a time where he is lacking in heroic traits. She cares about her friends and fights someone worse than her, but she is also a FullyEmbracedFiend who considers locking herself up during full moons' to be "betray[ing] the wolf", doesn't care about the people she kills during her werewolf rampages, and kills people who cross her while she's still in her human form. |
| 1138 | * BruiserWithASoftCenter: She is TheJuggernaut as a werewolf, is immensely strong as a human, and has committed many murders, but her internal monologues show deep pain about being separated from her pack and a LikeBrotherAndSister relationship with one of her demon friends. |
| 1139 | * ChekhovsSkill: She recalls being a con artists' shill in the past and is a good actress who puts on a fake show of outraged anger to provide a distraction. |
| 1140 | * InformedAbility: She recalls learning to be a pickpocket, but never shows off those skills. |
| 1141 | * TheLadette: She is a gruff woman wears grubby overalls and carries brass knuckles and a truncheon. |
