Category:Demons

Demons (Q.: "Raukar"; sing. "Rauko"; S.: "Raug" or "Rog"; pl. "Ryg") were evil Spirits, generally Umaiar (Maiar who have been corrupted by the Black Enemy) or destructive Spirits of Arda or their incarnated offspring (Maiarindi).

Tied to a hideous Fana (Q. "Veil"; "Radiant Figure") that manifested the theme or element they originally represented, a Demon could almost never assume a fair-seeming form. Their body, though, was critical to their existence in Middle-earth.However if Ainur became accustomed to a form and existence within Arda they could become tied to a distinct Shape and their Fána became incarnated as a hröa ("Body"). These incarnate demons were able to reproduce, in the way the Children of Illuvatar, their offspring were however mortal Maiarindi.

Appearance
Although the Demons hd different appearances, often even unique forms, most of them had a dark shadowy aura similar to dark mist or "Unlight" (for example the Balrog of Moria).
