#so like for example a kindred may be mostly soft beige

Hey chat I designed a bunch of demons and I’m kind of proud of them so here’s a rare post that has barely anything to do with The AU
These first three are grouped together for their human-like appearances and are called Kindred, Bloodlust, and Mourning Demons respectively!
These second three are grouped for their more object-like appearances and are Wave, Colour, and Elemental Demons!
More info under the cut :)
Kindred Demons naturally appear the most like whatever they were in life before they died, and are the Only types of Demons that can come from passing on. They become a bit more fluffy, gain some eyes and emphasized limbs, and they are so so sweet!
Bloodlust Demons are relatively chill and are often compared to gargoyles. Despite what the name implies, they usually only hunt for Aviary Demons, which are not shown here. They typically appear more muscular than the other species, which gives them a leg up on certain tasks in Hell!
Mourning Demons always carry their oars with them, even when they’re not doing their duty of skimming the… “water” in Hell. Their long and beautiful cloaks combined with their object-heads and ethereal eyes give them an almost Angelic vibe!
Wave Demons manifest as actual light waves, and favour infared and micro above all of the other types. They are perfectly visible to their neighbours (Bloodlust!) but other Demons usually have a harder time seeing them. As an ongoing bit, a few Waves at a time will band together and form a Microwave (the appliance)!
Colour Demons are like small comets of pure colour, and are close relatives of the Wave and Aviary variants. They have a massive size range, and can be anywhere between 5 cm to 7 km in length. A group of 3+ Colours is called a Palette, and 2 or more Palettes together can form something called a Siphonophoric, which is like the Auroras here!
Elemental Demons are very interesting because there is exactly one for each Periodic Element. They are completely invulnerable and immortal until that element no longer exists in the Living Realm, so ones like Iron and Hydrogen are going to be around a long time!
Some bonus images!!!
Two more Kindreds, Puppy & a concept for Harry if he was one. Kindred and Mourning Demons share similar naming customs, where their names are directly based on What they are or their most notable features. As such, Harry’s name as a Kindred might shift to Otter, or Suitor. Though, let it be known that Puppy is actually a sheep, they are called Puppy due to their dog-like ears and fur!
Jovice, a Bloodlust! At this point I’d like to mention that a Bloodlust’s horns and ears are their most prized and protected body parts. Getting their ears pierced or their horns engraved, especially with the idea of someone else in mind, is a really big deal. Doing something like that is sometimes how Bloodlusts propose! That’s exactly what Jovice is hyping themself up in the mirror to do.
A Mourning called Geometrica. It’s a bit hard to tell, but their oar is broken. For a Mourning, getting their oars damaged or lost in any way is like getting one’s heart broken, and they get either incredibly aggressive or antisocial as a result. On similar note, they do not depict emotions the same way Humans do, so while Geometrica looks calm and even a bit happy here, they are about to stab who they’re looking at with their broken oar in a fit of rage.
Wow, that’s the image limit ^^; I’ll be sure to do more posts about these Demon types in the future, they are REALLY fun to think of and design!
#ohhh boy. the tags…#cracks knuckles#speculative biology#i think?#demons#it does explicitly feature a character from the au so…#hershel’s octonauts au#long post#ok … still suffering from embarrassment at using non-fandom tags#so that’s enough there .!#pleaaaase let me know if you like these guys i put my whole professussy into them#i’m especially a fan of colour and kindred demons personally but lmk which ones are your faves!!!#miiight do coloured versions at some point..#as you can imagine some demon types have broader colour range than others#i will say now that kindreds have really soft palettes and elementals match their respective. well. elements#so like for example a kindred may be mostly soft beige#while an elemental like. sulfur for example. would have a lot of yellow#OH OH and mournings are mostly ‘heaven’ tones like blue and yellow and white#while bloodlusts exhibit more ‘hell’ tones like reds and greys and blacks#waves and aviarys are whatever they want to be. both of them have pretty big colour range#ofc thats nothing in comparison to colour demons. literally in the name they have the Most Possible Range Ever#baby they’re colours we cant even dream of. their palettes (haha.) are not limited to human senses#OKOK ENOUGH.
