Each demon was once a mortal, with a form much different than its current one. Most demons were men or monsters who became undead, and who were so evil and cunning that they achieved Immortality. Most demons have chosen and earned their Immortal positions, just as characters may aspire to other Spheres.
Screaming Demon (Air Demon, Winged Fury) - Type I Demon from Eldritch Wizardry
This demon is part bird and part man in form, standing over 8 feet tall on stork-like legs. Powerful claws adorn humanoid arms. Its feet are taloned. Its large feathered 30-foot wingspread provides quick flight.
Croaking Demon (Swamp Demon, Gobbler) - Type II Demon from Eldritch Wizardy
This foul, slimy monster looks like a giant humanoid toad, standing about 7 feet tall.

Howling Demon (Fire Demon, Four-Armed Horror) - Type III Demon from Eldritch Wizardry
This bizarre demon form has a wolfs head with long, sharp horns, a large muscular body, but normal human legs. It stands about 9 feet tall. It has four arms; two long arms are attached at its shoulders and end in crablike pincers, and two smaller human arms protrude from its chest.
Groaning Demon (Forest Demon, Biter) - Type IV Demon from Eldritch Wizardry
This is a tall humanoid with the torso and arms of an ape, a boar's head, and goat-like legs. It stands 10 feet tall.

Hissing Demon (Water Demon, Destroyer) - Type V Demon from Eldritch Wizardry
This demon appears either as a 20-foot-long giant poisonous snake or as part snake, part humanoid. The water demon's semi-human form is a six-armed female human torso (about 7 feet tall) atop a 10-foot-long snake body.
Roaring Demon (Mountain Demon, Manslayer) - Type VI Demon from Eldritch Wizardry
This fearsome fanged demon has a 12-foot-tall human body. Sharp horns protrude 1 foot from each side of its head, and huge leathery wings rise from its back.
Whispering Demon (Charmer, Gray Deceiver) - Succubus from Eldritch Wizardry
This demon's natural form is that of a human female with small horns and great bat-like wings, but this form is rarely seen. It prefers to appear as an extremely seductive mortal, either male or female and of any race, as suits its goals.

The Demon Rulers:
Orcus (The Goat, Master of the Dead, Lord of Darkness, The Black Prince)
This demon's normal form is a 15-foot-tall fat goat-like humanoid. His two great curled ram's horns are his most recognizable feature. His arms are giant-sized but very human. His legs are goatlike, with split hooves.
Demogorgon (The Child, Bane of Souls, The Lizard King, The Dark Lady)
This demon often polymorphs into the form of a human child, apparently the essence of youth and innocence. When she chooses to fight, however, she assumes her normal form - an 18-foot-tall reptilian monster, with two monkey heads atop sinewy necks, two great tentacles in place of arms, and a forked tail.
