demon king
Satan, for one
A demon king is a powerful evil ruler in fantasy, mythology, or video games—the ultimate antagonist commanding lesser demons or dark forces.
The figure appears across cultures: Satan in Christian tradition, Ravana in Hindu epic, countless final bosses in Japanese RPGs.
The hero's quest to defeat the demon king is a foundational fantasy plot.
Sometimes used humorously for anyone dominating through intimidation: He rules that department like a demon king.
