Devils

In many cultures devils are just another way of saying demons, but some religions have one devil that rules all demons, but in general "devil" is a personification of evil. The word devil comes from the middle English language were it means slanderer, or to slander. In most depictions, there is one devil that rules over demons in hell, this devil has many different names throughout cultures. Some examples include: Lucifer, the angel of betrayal, Satan, Beelzebub, Mephistopheles, and so forth. Devils in mythology are usually depicted as humanoid creatures with either bat wings, curled horns, blue or red skin, or having some sort of pig or goat body parts, they are also depicted as having large burning pitchforks. In Dungeons and Dragons, the names of the devils that I listed all have a place in the realm of the nine hells as Arch-devils.
