Even more, some demons blend into human society as a way to hide from persecutors and also to have a much easier access to prey.ĭemons come in a variety of forms. As a result, demons tend to live in secrecy with the population at large being ignorant to their existence. They are an organization trained to destroy them through a multitude of well refined techniques and tools developed across centuries to exterminate them. The Demon Slayers are the central adversary to the demon race. Conversely, Muzan is also shown to be able to nullify a demon's immortality and regenerative ability, being able to kill and devour them if he so desires. However, if they do endure the process, which is shown to be more excruciating the higher the dose is, their strength will grow tremendously.
The blood, however, is extremely potent, being dangerously toxic in higher concentrations and can force a mutation in the recipient's body far beyond what they can withstand, causing death. Muzan's own blood is also shown to have special properties that can strengthen a demon, proportional to the amount of blood infused. The latter, who never took a human life, gathers most of her strength through extensive sleep and was able to develop her own powers and grew stronger over time. The rarest blood type is known as Marechi eating a single human with this blood type provides a demon with roughly the same nutrition as eating one hundred ordinary humans.īoth Tamayo and Nezuko are also shown to be exceptions to this rule, the former is shown to have become a relatively powerful demon despite surgically modifying her body to require minimum blood consumption (typically in the form of blood donations). Different human blood types have different levels of nutrition for demons: the rarer the blood type, the greater the nutrition. Once demons consume enough humans, they can develop Blood Demon Arts, an array of supernatural powers and techniques which are unique to each demon. All demons do regain their memories moments before they die, which possibly means that demons also have their lives flash before their eyes before they turn into complete ash.Ī Blood Demon Art being used on a Demon Slayer.ĭemons are also known to mutate and grow stronger over time as they consume more humans, allowing them to grow into more monstrous forms and improve their physical and regenerative abilities among other attributes. Certain members of the Twelve Kizuki also retain their human memories such as Rui (though he eventually lost his memories later on), Kaigaku, Kyogai, Doma, and Kokushibo.
However, there are a few demons who have completely retained their human emotions and memories, such as Nezuko Kamado, Tamayo and Yushiro. While they do still retain their original personality, most times it becomes a darker version of what it used to be, often corrupted by their core beliefs and their past. Practically all demons possess a murderous instinct to kill and devour humans, and have lost most of their memories from their human life. Demons are also known to hate wisteria, which are poisonous to them and whose smell is repudiated by them. However, even with a Nichirin Sword, the only method guaranteed to kill a demon is through decapitation. Only the Nichirin Swords, weapons made from special ore with sunlight absorption properties, can inflict life-threatening wounds.
Demons have an abnormally powerful physical constitution and potent regenerative abilities, making them immune to normal weaponry and granting them the ability to heal from any wound with ease, even re-growing their head. Sunlight is deadly to them and will burn them to ash, so they strictly operate at night.
