lesser demon
Low-ranking devil
A lesser demon is a malevolent supernatural being that ranks below more powerful demons in infernal hierarchies.
The term appears in fantasy fiction, role-playing games, and religious or occult traditions that organize evil spirits by power and status.
Lesser demons typically serve as minions or foot soldiers: The summoner could only bind lesser demons, not the princes of hell.
The designation implies something dangerous but manageable—a threat, but not the worst one.
