|
|
The Devil May Cry franchise plays out in a setting in which there is a Human World and a parallel Demon World. The Demon World is inhabited by many demons and devils, soulless beings generally obsessed with gaining power and taking over the Human World. According the series's prologue, however, one such Demon "awoke to justice", seemingly gaining a soul, and turned against the Demon World and its leader, . After defeating Mundus and his armies, he sealed off the Demon World from the Human World, sacrificing his own demonic power in the process, and lived among the humans as a benevolent leader. Many of the games or episodes revolve around the plot of a demon or human trying to break this seal, and Dante attempting to prevent them from succeeding. As spiritual creatures, demons cannot actually physically manifest within the Human World. Instead, they must manifest through some sort of physical medium already there, such as or . They may also manifest through certain living things, like or . It is also explained that certain demons may possess souls, due to love, and that they may interbreed with humans to create demon-human hybrids like Dante. It is also claimed in the Devil May Cry 3 manga that a demon's name is its honor and identity, and that stripping a demon of its name would be the worst punishment it could bear. Sparda is said to have done this to seven demons who represent the seven deadly sins in order to seal the Temen-ni-gru. As of this point, only Gouman (pride), Taida (sloth), and Donyoku (greed) have appeared. Species of Demon Abyss The Abyss behaves similarly to the , but manifests through blood, and is able to manifest and liquidate at will. It is also able to throw a ball of fire when swinging its magic-imbued scythe. Agni & Rudra the Firestorm Twin Demon gatekeepers of Temen-ni-gru sealed away by Sparda, Agni & Rudra are a pair of living swords, swung by demon hosts, searching for an owner worthy of their power. Agni is the red sword with power to control fire, while Rudra is the blue sword with power to control wind. They are adept at fighting together, though they can be tricked into hurting each other. The brothers are at first cordial to Dante, but when he demands to be let through the gate, they attack. After Dante defeats them, they ask to be taken with him as Devil Arms. Dante agrees, on the condition that they remain quiet. Agonofinis, Mortifinis, & Terreofinis The Agonofinis, Terreofinis and Mortifinis are demons who appear as skeletons, wrapped in a metal cage that holds their body together. They can appear in battle equipped with a sword, axe and sometimes even a shield to help injure and defend themselves against enemies. Agonofinis were once criminals bound and starved inside iron cages who now lash out against the living. Terreofinis are fuelled by 'ineffable terror'. The Mortifinis are capable of absorbing nearby enemies before expelling them and slamming them into the floor. They are powered by 'ruthless death'. Alastor the Thunder Devil Alastor the Thunder Devil is a winged demon with power over lightning which can also manifest as a living sword or a winged humanoid. It appears primarily in Devil May Cry, though it also features as a character in the Viewtiful Joe series, and is used by Dante, in its sword form, in Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. Alto Angelo The Alto Angelo are Knights of the Order of the Sword, transformed into demons through the Order's Ascension ceremony. The Alto Angelo wear similar armor to the Bianco Angelo's albeit more white in colour, with Yellow highlights. Alto Angelo lead the Bianco Angelo in battle and are able to empower nearby Bianco Angelo as long as they remain in the fight. Alto Angelo are very similar in appearance to the Bianco Angelo's carrying a similar large shield, however they wield a large sword instead of a lance, allowing them to perform powerful slash attacks on their enemies. When compared to the Bianco Angelo, the Alto are much more angelic in appearance in accordance with the Order's philosophy of ascension to Angelic form. Angelo Agnus Agnus is the Chief technological researcher and alchemist of the Holy Knights, tasked with summoning, researching and controling demonic forms of power. Agnus is responsible for the creation of the Gladius, Cutlass, Bianco Angelo and Basilisk, all resulting from his experiments upon demons. Agnus first appears after Nero infiltrates the Order's secret research facility and confronts him about his actions in relation to the demons present therein. Though he identifies himself as a member of the Order, Nero notes that he has never heard of or seen him before. After Nero breaks through the shield separating him from Agnus and his lab, Agnus, enthralled by his discovery of Nero's Devil Bringer, reveals his mission while distracting Nero long enough for his Bianco Angelo to secretly attack and subdue him. Demonstrating remarkable control over his created demons, Agnus orders Nero's death before witnessing Nero's demonic power unleashed, restoring the Yamato, Vergil's sword, and destroying Agnus' demon hordes. The force of Nero's power forces Agnus to transform and reveal his 'Angel' form where he states his anger that Nero has restored the shattered sword where he could not, before retreating to inform Sanctus of Nero's power. Agnus later appears to capture Kyrie, using her to lure Nero into a confrontation in his private quarters. Nero defeats Agnus who again escapes, appearing later to use the Yamato to break the seal of the Hellgate and unleash the demonic realm upon the world. He is finally confronted by Dante in the Order's church where he is ultimately defeated and killed. After undergoing the 'Ascension' ceremony, Agnus gained an 'Angel' form, Angelo Agnus, a transformation which granted him vast power. In this state, Agnus took on a humanoid-insect form with large oval eyes, a white, almost furry body coated in plates of armor and a large set or organs on his back that acted as wings, enabling him to fly. He was able to summon the Cutlass, Gladius and Basilisk to do his bidding while in this form. Agnus is portrayed as obsessed with his research, forsaking his own personal safety when confronted with a new form of power he has not yet seen. He is also seen to speak with a stutter when under stress. Agnus is voiced by T.J. Storm. Angelo Credo The older brother of Kyrie, Credo serves the Order loyally as its milita forces Captain and believes entirely in their mission. Though disapproving of Nero's opinion of the Order, he entrusts him to pursue Dante while he tends to the care of his sister and their fallen leader, Sanctus. After Nero infiltrates the Order's lab and reveals his true power to Agnus, Credo is tasked by Sanctus with eliminating Nero. Credo and Nero engage in battle where Credo reveals his 'Angel' form to compete with Nero's 'demonic power'. Credo is defeated by Nero though he vainly tries to continue the fight as Kyrie appears, allowing Agnus to restrain her and use her as a hostage to lure Nero. Angered at the abuse of his sister, Credo later interferes as Sanctus attempts to absorb Nero into the Savior, stating that while his faith is undying, using his sister is an unforgivable action. Sanctus is able to mortally wound Credo and sends him to fall to his death from the top of the Savior. Credo is caught in his descent by Dante, where Credo states that his last request is for Dante to save Nero and Kyrie. Credo dies and his body then disintegrates into particles of light before fading away. In his 'angel' form, Credo drastically changes in appearance, taking on a design similar to that of the Alto Angelo's and takes the name, 'Angelo Credo'. His body is covered in white armor with a single white, feathered wing attached to his right shoulder. His left arm morphs into a large shield, acting as a symbol of his faith while he wields an exceptionally long sword in his left hand. In this form, Credo is much more powerful than his human form can allow and he is capable of summoning large lances which he can throw at his foes. Credo is voiced by Daniel Southworth. Arachne Once the soul of a human female, the soul transformed when it reached the outer crust of the netherworld. Uses her tightly spun spider webbing to ensnare her victims. Argosax the Chaos Argosax the Chaos was a powerful demonic king who once ruled the Demon World, and was infrequently worshiped by the people of Dumary Island. However, he was recognized as evil, and was eventually defeated by Sparda and the Vie de Marii. He serves as the boss of Mission 18, the final mission of Dante's scenario in Devil May Cry 2. In Devil May Cry 2, Arius tries to obtain the Arcana in order to release Argosax, take his power, and become a god. The Arcana are four holy relics used to seal Argosax, and by uniting them at the solar eclipse, a gate to the Demon World will open. Though Dante manages to interfere with Arius' ritual by replacing the Medaglia with his own double-sided coin, the doorway is still partially opened, and Arius absorbs part of Argosax's power. Because the door is unstable, whoever enters may not be able to return, so Lucia demands to go, claiming she is expendable. However, Dante puts the decision to his coin, and after winning the coin toss, goes in, just like his father once did. Inside the portal, Dante finds Argosax in its first form, a hideous pile of flesh composed of pieces of , , , , , and . After slaying each piece, a stalk bearing an egg extends from the mass, and Argosax's true form, The Despair Embodied hatches from it. As The Despair Embodied, Argosax appears as an androgynous, horned, angelic being composed of fire, able to change sexes at will. While in its female form, it attacks with a whip, while in its male form, it wields a sword. The Despair Embodied is also able to fly into the air, and shower Dante with a rain of fiery spines. However, even in this awesome form, Argosax is still no match for Dante, and is destroyed. Afterwards, Dante rides off on a motorcycle, presumably escaping the Demon World through another doorway. Assault Assault's are Lizard-like demons, created by the emperor of demon-kind. They possess the ability to burrow through the ground at high speeds by using their sharp claws which they can also use for attacks. Assault's wear small amounts of armor to ward of attack but once this is destroyed, they no longer possess any method of defense. They are similar to Blades from the first game in appearance and ability. Auromancer, Brontomancer, & Pyromancer These are wizard-like demons who use the elements to attack their foes. The Pyromancer were created from the souls of the dead who were condemned as heretics in life. Auromancers utilise an unhallowed aura to attack indiscriminately against opponents while the Brontomancer attack at random with powerful magic spells. Bael & Dagon Bael is a giant demon toad, from a family of similar toad demons. Bael uses a gas to conceal himself from the view of an opponent while using two 'feelers' that resemble naked women to seduce and distract prey, allowing him to lunge forth and consume them. Though large and powerful, Bael is not used to direct combat and is very succeptible to attack, especially upon his weak spot; his tongue. Bael's upper back and tail are covered in sharp icicles that he can launch at his opponents though his most common form of attack is to swallow and munch his enemy with his sharp teeth. Dagon is one of Bael's "brothers", which has evolved to a state where his skin is a much different and darker color, including his use of red 'feelers' to seduce prey compared to Bael's blue 'feelers'. Apart from this visual difference, Bael and Dagon are very similar, including their weak tongue that is susceptible to attack. Basilisk A Basilisk is a man-made demon-hunting dog, created by Agnus' experimentations upon demons. Basilisk resemble dogs in shape, though their body appears to be metallic with small spikes along their back. The tip of the Basilisk's tail and their rib cage emit flame while their skull is composed entirely of fire. They are able to shoot their skull as a missile to attack. Their head regenerates so they can attack as many times as they need to. Beelzebub A Beelzebub is a demon appearing in Devil May Cry which manifests through the body of a fly. A Blue Beelzebub is more aggressive than others, and attacks its victims by spitting a paralyzing evil matter which resembles maggots. A Green Beelzebub, though larger and somewhat stronger, generally acts as power source to the airborne Blue Beelzebub, and will feed on corpses to grow stronger and more agile. Belphegor Belphegor is a many-tentacled demon lord who appears in . It is summoned in order to destroy the world by Mike Hagel's butler, with the assistance of Belphegor's servant . Beowulf the Lightbeast One of the gatekeepers of Temen-ni-gru, half-blinded and sealed away for 2000 years by Sparda, Beowulf is a winged beast who anxiously awaits his chance at revenge. He possesses overwhelming strength and a variety of light attacks. When Dante enters Beowulf's chamber, he senses that Dante has "Sparda's blood", and attacks. Dante blinds Beowulf, and when Beowulf tries to chase down Sparda's scent he instead finds Vergil, assuming him to still be Dante. However, Vergil immediately kills Beowulf and he falls apart, realizing his mistake. Vergil then takes Beowulf's soul as a Devil Arm. Dante later obtains it after Arkham activates the Temen-ni-gru and Vergil falls into an abyss. Berial Berial is a giant flame demon who wields a large, flaming sword. He has a lower abdomen with four legs and an upper torso with two arms, similar to that of a Centaur. His skin appears as a black, charred rock with veins of flame running across it which are more clearly visible when his body is not enveloped in flames. Berial resides in a cruel circle of the underworld known as the Fire Hell. Though Berial once served as prince to the Emperor of Demons, he is now faced with ruling the underworld alone since the Emperor was sealed away. Berial once escaped from the underworld over 2,000 years ago but was defeated by Sparda and sent back. The otherworldly flames that envelop his body protect him from the magic machinations of others, however when these flames are extinguished Berial is at great risk. Berial first appears during the events of Devil May Cry 4, engaging Nero in battle. After his defeat, he retreats only to return and engage Dante in battle. Berial falls against Dante and is destroyed. Bianco Angelo The Bianco Angelo is a man-made soldiers crafted from enchanted armor formed with a fragment of a demon known as the "dark angel". Empowered with the stolen souls of demons and humans, it is given life and bound to serve the Order of the Sword.

Blitz Powerful elite demons whose bodies are surrounded by a shield of lightning. They do not possess the ability to see and rely on their other senses to track their prey's movements, though they are not always able to differentiate an enemy from a fellow demon. Blitz are able to move around at incredible speed, leaving only electric static behind as an indication of their previous location. They attack with incredible ferocity and this only increases when they near the brink of death. When gravely injured, their electric coating becomes red in colour and their attacks become even more powerful and dangerous. Blitz explode upon dying.

He has the power to control ice, which he uses to encase himself in ice armor, summon showers of icicles, and belch small icebergs. Each of his heads uses different techniques.

Chimera The Chimera Seed is a spawn of Echidna the She-Viper. They appear as a small torso, covered in tendrils with two long arms which they utilize for movement. Though sentient and intelligent, they are also weak and easily killed on their own. However, when close to another demon, Chimera Seed are capable of latching onto and merging with the host demon to form a new hybrid demon; a Chimera.

Echinda's goal is to create a world where demons prosper by combining with her parasitic children. Though she appears as a dragon, Echinda is capable of retracting the sides of her head and tongue to appear as a woman surrounded by petals.

However, this form is simply a covering for his true form, a multi-eyed and tentacled monstrosity. Mundus' most distinctive feature is the third eye on his forehead. Before taking this form, these 3 eyes would hover ominously above an area to indicate his presence. In an attempt to lure Dante to Mallet Island to face his loyal demons, Mundus created Trish in the image of Dante's mother.

He is shot and killed by Dante during the early events of Devil May Cry 4 while leading a sermon. However, he later revives from his injuries, revealing his superhuman powers. Sanctus had planned to lure Dante to the Order so that they may use him and the blood of Sparda that flows through him to power the Savior, a powerful but inactive demon. Using research into demons and demonic power, Sanctus had transformed himself through a process referred to as 'Ascension', granting himself power far beyond that of his normal human ability. He encounters Nero in battle, using these demonic powers to resist assault before tricking Nero into submission and absorbing him into the Savior's body. After Agnus breaches the hellgate and unleashes countless demons into the world, Sanctus uses the Savior and the Order's manufactured demons to destroy them, fooling humans into believing that the Savior is a god and there to rescue them. Sanctus undertakes this to create more loyal worshippers for the order. After the Savior is heavily injured by Dante in battle, Sanctus is forced to face the escaped Nero, revealing his new, demonic form, Sanctus Diabolica, and wielding the Sparda sword.

The Savior's skin is white, with blue gems present at several points of its body. The Savior has large, golden horns at the sides of its head and it has two very large crescent symbols that hover behind it. After the defeat of Sanctus whilst inside the Savior, his body is completely assimilated into the remains of the Savior, warping its visage to that of Sanctus'. Though much weaker in this state, it was still capable of massive destructive force, lashing out at Dante, Kyrie and Nero, until Nero defeated him using his Devil Bringer to crush its head. Scarecrow The various forms of Scarecrow are low level demons borne with sacks filled with Trypoxylus; a demonic insect. Though the insects themselves are unintelligent, by moving as one, they are able to give the Scarecrow form and function. They appear to be formed of a series of patchwork fabrics that give them a humanoid shape. However they are seen to have one or more blades attached to their appendanges.
