Dante Sparda
Series: Devil May Cry
Dante has been keeping it stylish since the early 2000s with the excellent first entry of Devil May Cry. Some of his later entries have been hit or miss (Devil May Cry 2, no; Devil May Cry 3, yes), but with a fantastic anime adaptation and well-received outings in other Capcom offerings, Dante has won a place in our likable demons list.

Blackheart
Series: Marvel vs. Capcom
The prince of hell is a feared top-tier character in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for two reasons: Inferno, his anti-air assist; and Heart of Darkness. Both track, and Inferno can be canceled and comboed into Heart of Darkness easily. Most folks don't play Blackheart on point but rather use his assist to trap and chip. You used to see a lot of Blackheart in top-tier play, and he's still useful in the modern-day scene with new tech discovered in recent years.
Jedah Dohma
Series: Darkstalkers/Vampire
The Vampire Savior himself makes his appearance on our list of highlighted monsters. Jedah immediately set himself apart from the pack with a dazzling appearance as the titular savior of Makai and the human realm in our beloved Vampire Savior. He's not top tier but he looks cool, and he's fun to play. We want to find out if Jedah was successful in his plans, but we'd need more Vampire for that, and it will never happen.
Mischievous imps from hell, demons are known to wreak havoc and make deals of ill repute in Judeo-Christian teachings. Demons were said to serve Lucifer, and they make bargains to those who wish to make a deal with the devil, so to speak.
