demon lord

Infernal realm ruler

A demon lord is a powerful ruler among demons in fantasy fiction, mythology, and games—a figure who commands lesser demons and often governs a realm of hell or the underworld.

The title implies both supernatural evil and hierarchical authority: The party finally confronted the demon lord in his throne room.

In video games and anime, a demon lord is frequently the ultimate antagonist or final boss.
