Demons are mythical malevolent beings. Maegi are said by the Dothraki to lay with demons.[1]

The Others are described by some as demons of snow, ice and cold.[2] Legends of the Iron Islands describe Ygg as a demon tree who fed on human flesh.[3]

It is said demons haunt the remaining lands of the Valyrian peninsula,[4] the Smoking Sea,[5], the ruins of Hardhome,[6] the forests of Mossovy,[7] the island of Leng,[8] and the caves and cliffs of the Mountains of the Morn.[9]

The Five Forts are said to have been erected by the Pearl Emperor of the Great Empire of the Dawn to keep the Lion of Night and his demons away from the realms of men.[8]

According to reports, it is possible to fornicate with demons in Asshai.[9]

"Demon" is also used as a term to describe some great fighters,such as Robert Baratheon, the "Demon of the Trident",[10] or the Kingsguard of House Darry known as the Demon of Darry.[11]
