satanical
Like demonic evil
Satanical means of or relating to Satan, or resembling the devil in wickedness.
The word is an older, more literary variant of satanic, now rarely used: satanical rites, a satanical grin.
Both forms describe extreme evil, cruelty, or malevolence, though satanic is the modern standard.
