There are several orders of demonic entities, most of which are
entities from different Worlds that those defining the demons as such
give their worship to.

But there are also demons that slip in through the cracks created in
Glorantha's shell when the world was destroyed, but the worst demons
of all originate from the sub-Underworld that
exists between the Creator and Creation, and seeks to destroy Existence
itself.
