When we think of Satan, we think of an all-powerful demon, the top dog, the number one villain
throughout religion. However, as powerful as he is, are there others that could rival
him for power and menace. Well, today on Top 5 Scary Videos, I’m going to be counting
down our list of the Top 5 Scary Demons Worse Than Satan. Before we begin though, be sure
to stick around until the end of the video where I’ll be responding to some of your
comments. And with that, let’s jump in.
5 Mephisto Mephisto hails from Earth 616 in the Marvel
Universe. He is an extra-dimensional demon whose origin is unknown. He rules a fiery
pocket dimension that he calls “Hell” or “Hades”. He calls his realm “Hell”
in order to exploit Earth human beings’ belief in a single being of absolute evil,
who is often referred to as Satan, who rules such a realm. Mephisto’s domain is inhabited
by himself, by lesser demons who serve him, and by the astral forms of certain deceased
human beings, which have been trapped in the bodies of demons. Mephisto is a Class Two
Demon, and possesses vast supernatural power, which is apparently inherent within him. He
is energized by sources of evil in the human world. Superhuman Strength, Superhuman Speed,
Superhuman Stamina, Superhuman Durability, Regenerative Healing Factor, Immortality,
Magical Manipulation, Shapeshifting, Ensnare Astral Bodies, Dimensional Entrapment, Netherworld
Dimensional Power Tap, Reality Manipulation, Penance Stare Immunity, and Medium Awareness.
He is an experienced and highly skilled liar and strategist. He is also a highly skilled
sorcerer with near infinite knowledge of arcane and occult subjects. Despite his immense power,
Mephisto does have several significant limitations. He is unable to force the subjugation of any
sentient beings will to his own without that being’s deliberate submission. He is also
incapable of reading the thoughts of any sentient being. Despite being one of the most powerful
and evil people in all of existence, he was involved in one of the dumbest marvel storylines,
which saw him use his powers to divorce Peter Parker and Mary-Jane Watson.
4 Ogdru Jahad Ogdru Jahad, also referred to as the Ogdru
eb Jurhad, are the Dragons of Revelation, and are destined to bring about Ragna Rok,
the end of the world. They were once imprisoned in golden cocoons by the Right Hand of Doom
shortly after the creation of Earth, but not before they spawned 369 children, known as
the Ogdru Hem. They are the main antagonists of the Hellboy series. Inspired by HP Lovecrafts’
The Great Old Ones, the Ogdru Jahad are serpentine entities which once resided on, and presided
over, Earth. They are pitiless, chaotic, bent on destruction and subjugation and often so
horrific in appearance that the mere sight of one of them sometimes induced madness.
Now, some history of the Ogdru Jahad. In the beginning of time, God created an order of
spirits. Of these, many of the greater spirits were sent to newborn Earth to oversee it as
watchers. One of these spirits, Anum, created the Ogdru Jahad out of fire and mud. Ogdru
Jahad then went on to give birth to the Ogdru Hem who become Earth’s first life forms.
Ogdru Jahad is an immortal and vastly powerful, with his true nature defying description,
with even its nature as multiple beings being ambiguous. In the film Hellboy, the Ogdru
Jahad serve as the overarching enemy of the film, mentioned only a few times by name.
They appear as vaguely cephalopod-like, resembling more their Lovecraftian influence. They are
encased in their crystal shells somewhere in outer space.
3 Mal’Ganis Mal’Ganis was one of the nathrezim sent
by Archimonde as a jailor of the Lich King in World of Warcraft. He was chosen to head
up the plot to turn Prince Arthas Menethil to darkness, and make him the Lich King’s
greatest champion. Later he led the Scarlet Onslaught under the guise of Barean Westwind.
During the breaking of Ner’zhul, at Kil’jaeden’s command, a group of dreadlords including Mal’Ganis
tortured the orc shaman Ner’zhul after he had escaped from Draenor to the Twisting Nether.
However, with his sanity cracking, Mal’Ganis would eventually agree to serve Kil’jaeden.
Now, Mal’Ganis is the final boss in the Startholme of the past, the fourth wing of
the Caverns of Time that opened with the release of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.
In the Warcraft III scenario The Culling, Mal’Ganis would always resurrect after a
certain period and return to continue his corruption of the city. Mal’Ganis is one
of the many demons summoned by Gul’dan in front of the Tomb of Sargeras to attack the
force of Azeroth in the climactic, disastrous battle at the Broken Shore. He has not appeared
since and his location is unknown.
2 The God Hand The God Hand, from the manga Berserk, is a
quintumvirate of demon sovereigns who act as executors of the Idea of Evil’s will,
by virtue of their desires being intrinsic to the entity. As the most powerful of demonkind,
they reign over apostles as their masters, they are also responsible for granting normal
beherit bearers their reincarnated status of being, in exchange for a sacrifice. They
have also orchestrated many large events that have affected the course of humanity, as well
as the state of the macrocosm. Now, it is worth noting that each member of The God Hand
was once human and is a previous owner of the Crimson Beherit, which distinguished them
as individuals destined to be reborn as the demon sovereigns they currently serve as.
The God Hand is composed of the most powerful five of demonkind, so dominant that even the
strongest of apostles are unquestionably subservient to them. They each possess specific reality-altering
abilities, including spatial, physical, and metaphysical manipulation. Having molded their
forms out of huge swells of collective human negativity, the God Hand exists in essence
anywhere large concentrations of human thoughts swirl. Though extremely powerful within the
profound layer of the Astral World, their powers are drastically lessened on occasions
when they choose to manifest rudimentary bodies in the physical world.
1 Pazuzu Pazuzu also called Fazuzu was the king of
the demons of the wind, brother of Humbaba and son of God Hanbi. He also represented
the southwestern wind, the bearer of storms and drought. He is often depicted as a combination
of diverse animal and human parts. He has the body of a man, the head of a lion or dog,
talons of an eagle, two pairs of wings, and a scorpion's tail. He also has his right hand
up and left hand down. Now, it is Pazuzu’s mythology that makes him so interesting. He
is the demon of the southwest wind as I previously mentioned, and known for bringing famine during
dry seasons, and locusts during rainy seasons. Pazuzu was invoked in apotropaic amulets which
combat the powers of his rival, the malicious goddess Lamashtu, who was believed to cause
harm to mother and child during childbirth. Although he himself is considered to be an
evil spirit, he drives and frightens away other evil spirits, therefore protecting humans
against plagues and misfortunes. This demon has been referenced numerous times in pop
culture with the most famous occurrence being in The Exorcist. In the 1971 novel, and the
film based on the novel, Pazuzu is supposedly the evil spirit which possesses Regan MacNeil.
He reappears in the 1977 sequel Exorcist II: The Heretic. In this film, Pazuzu is both
named as the demon antagonist of Regan and the unwitting helper of Father Philip Lamont,
as he seeks to free Regan from the demon’s grip.
