hellspawn
Devil's evil progeny
Hellspawn refers to a creature or being supposedly originating from hell—a demon, devil, or their offspring.
The term appears in fantasy, horror, and religious contexts: The heroes battled the hellspawn threatening the village.
Used figuratively as an insult for someone considered evil or monstrous, or hyperbolically for misbehaving children: Her little hellspawn terrorized the neighborhood.
