Demons (Standard Deysachni: Bzorang Yausbekt, lit. "chaotic celestials") are a class of being in Deysachni Mythology, characterized by monsterous appearances and malevolent or chaotic dispositions. They exist in contrast to Angels, their cousin race characterized by benevolent or orderly dispositions, and are said consist of ten million in total number.
According to legend, all demons are the spawn of Mas Kel-Thuurm, the god of destruction, created soon after the dawn of time to wreck havoc upon the world. The eldest of the spawn are historically said to be Bhung Tde, Lheshkha, and Png-Nwi, and Mezdun, though the first two are often considered to be gods rather than demons.
