evil demon
Wicked supernatural entity
An evil demon is a malevolent supernatural being, typically in religious or philosophical contexts.
In philosophy, the term refers specifically to Descartes' thought experiment: a supremely powerful deceiver who might be manipulating all our perceptions and beliefs, making even basic truths uncertain.

The concept is foundational to discussions of radical skepticism and the problem of knowledge.
