Arthur: Is it true that you're the son of a demon and a virgin maiden?
Merlin: Yeah, why?
Arthur: You take more after the virgin.
Merlin: Yeah, why?
Arthur: You take more after the virgin.
The offspring of demons and humans (referred to as cambions in European mythology and some other media) are quite common in fiction. They can be heroic, villainous, or whatever in between. Heroic human-demons may struggle with their demonic nature and may try to prove their goodness by fighting other demons who wish to harm humans. The demonic parent is often evil and abusive while the human parent is often the good one (though it is possible for some examples to be a Succubus in Love). Expect human-demons to face Fantastic Racism from humans, demons, or both because of their hybrid nature.
Like with many hybrids, the demonic parent is often male while the mother is human. In medieval legends, Human-Demon Hybrids were often the offspring of a human and an incubus/succubus.
A Human-Demon Hybrid is often an Antichrist, Anti Anti Christ, or Enfant Terrible.
Depending on the circumstances they may desire to lead The Legions of Hell either to cause Hell on Earth against those Puny Earthlings or might have Rage Against the Heavens leading to Hell Invades Heaven.
While such hybrids are usually born of a demon and a human, it is possible for them to become half-demon through some other means such as injecting themselves with demon blood.
Subtrope of Half-Human Hybrid. Compare Demon of Human Origin (humans who become demons) and Nephilim (angel-human hybrids or angel-demon hybrids). See also Dhampyr, Semi-Divine and Divine Parentage. See also Divine–Infernal Family.

Myths & Religion
- Arthurian Legend: Merlin is often stated to be the offspring of a demon and a human woman, although this doesn't stop him from being a good guy.
- Robert the Devil is a Medieval legend about a Norman knight who was born of a union between a human duchess and Satan. While Robert struggles with evil instincts, he ultimately overcomes them to achieve repentance.
- Sensu stricto this isn't actually possible in Christian theology, since demons are sterile and thus use human semen which they obtain as succubi and deposit as inccubi. However the children, known as cambions, still have magical powers for some reason.
- Tupi-Guarani Mythology has several malevolent entities to whom unwanted pregnancies are blamed to: the Kurupi, the Luison, Boto dolphins and the Pombero. Allegedly all of these rape women and the ensuing children are ugly, temperamental and sometimes magical.
- According to the Gothic History by Jordanes, the first Huns were children of exiled Gothic witches who cohabited with "unclean spirits" in the wilderness. The same passage characterizes the Huns as a "a stunted, foul and puny tribe, scarcely human" and "fiercer than ferocity itself".
- The Plantagenet dynasty was occasionally rumored to be descended from a man and a mermaid/water nymph/melusine. Some actually encouraged this idea.
Tabletop Games
- Ars Magica: Demons can interbreed with humans if they deliberately choose to procreate, a rare choice they only make to advance an infernal plot. The child has innate demonic magic, doesn't need nourishment, and can learn even more powers, but has a human soul and free will, so can pull a Faustian Rebellion. They're inevitably sterile, so Uneven Hybrids are impossible.
- Dungeons & Dragons:
- Cambions are monsters in the 1st and 2nd edition, described as the progeny of a male demon and a female human (who always died in childbirth). The 3rd edition replaced them with the "Half-Fiend" template which could be applied to non-humanoid beings like dragons, giants, and magical beasts but stated that cambion is a term that was often used for Half-Fiendish humanoids.
- Tieflings are more distant descendants of mortals and fiends, the exact details varying by edition but they usually qualify as a separate race.
- Tieflings were first introduced in the Planescape setting in second edition as a player character race and became a playable monster race in third (which had them in the default Monster Manual with a level adjustment because of their damage resistances and innate spellcasting ability). At this point, they were effectively humans with a few random (literally; with tables to roll on) demonic traits to indicate their heritage. They also have an aura of evil about them, leading them to be subjected to Fantastic Racism (with villainous or antiheroic tieflings often portrayed as a case of Then Let Me Be Evil).
- 4th edition D&D revamped tieflings quite a bit; they were made one of the core player races (getting their own player's handbook). Because of that edition's emphasis on miniatures, their canon appearance became more consistent; they always have horns, glowing eyes, sharp teeth, a long tail, dark or purple hair, and skin that's either red or in the normal human ranges (although that last limitation is often ignored in favour of any colour the player wants).
- 5th edition introduced different tiefling bloodlines, representing the different devils they could be descended from. 5e also downplayed the trope, by noting that tiefling bloodlines can also come about from deals made with demons, or simply from living in a demonically tainted area (or simply born to two tiefling parents).
- The OneDND/5.5e playtest sees Tieflings with three sub-species, each for a different alignment of fiendish heritage: Infernal have Lawful Evil ancestry or influence, Cthonic have Neutral Evil ancestry or influence, and Abyssal have Chaotic Evil ancestry or influence.
- The demilich Acererak was a Child by Rape born of a human mother and demon father. He had a happy childhood with his mother until age 10 when his appearance drew a mob that killed her and left him despising all life. A millennium of infamy as an arch-necromancer has obscured the story of his birth, but he still took the time to enslave his demon father to avenge his mother.
- The Gates of Hell fan supplement, in addition to the canon examples, features Lixer, the son of Asmodeus from a mortal queen, a necromancer who was purged of his mortal part by his father (not that it stops Fantastic Racism from "real" devils). There are also templates for half-mortal children born to fiend and Fallen Angel nobility.
- Exalted: Demon-Blooded are the result of humans and demons sleeping together, with the results depending on who the demon parent was, but all of them are able to use Essence and a lot of them have mutations that reveal their true nature. They are often held in high roles in Yozi cults, especially cults of powerful demons, while most other people tend to dislike them. They have the option to go full Demon of Human Origin with help from some actual demonsnote which results in the Demon-Blooded become the same race as their demon parent if their demon parent was a First Circle Demon (which can cause in subversions in One-Gender Race demons), while Demon-Blooded born from more powerful demons become unique First Circle demons, and could create a new race of demons.
- Hunter: The Vigil: The Lucifuge are a Creature-Hunter Organization of humans with demonic ancestry that grants them supernatural powers, which they use against creatures of darkness. However, demon blood doesn't reliably manifest - one family is ordinary except for one child every seventh generation.
Somewhere back in your family tree, somebody ate the apple. Somebody fucked the beast. Somebody followed a stranger with smoldering eyes out behind the barn. There's a little devil in you, one the science won't ever find, and that's where Castigation comes from.
- Pathfinder:
- Cambions are the product of unions between mortal women and fiends, but only occur if the mother spends the entire pregnancy in the Abyss — spending this time elsewhere will result in the woman giving birth to a half-fiend instead. Unlike half-fiends, which are classified as native outsiders and thus in many ways closer to mortals than to their demonic parents, cambions are true demons due to their constant exposure to the Abyss' extraplanar energies during their development. They are also all male.
- Tieflings are a player race. They can be born to any family that has demonic ancestry, or from being conceived on Unholy Ground. Each variety of fiend has an associated tiefling bloodline, with their own unique physical distinctions: Demons and devils produce the most conventional tieflings, rakshasas produce Little Bit Beastly tieflings, Qlippoth produce Humanoid Abomination tieflings, etc.
- Tieflings return in Pathfinder Second Edition, this time as a Versatile Heritage that can be applied on top of any ancestry. They also have Lineage feats to represent which tiefling bloodline they’re part of. Their ancestry feats in general let them play with this trope in various ways—such as gaining magic related to their fiendish forebears, charming people, hiding their fiendish nature, gaining wings (that they can eventually make permanent), conquering their nature and gaining a bonus against divine effects, or gaining a temporary fiendish Final Form.
- Mongrels are an unusual example, as while they aren't conceived by demons, they are a result of demonic energies. The Abyssal energies of the Worldwound caused many of the children of the Crusaders who fought in the region to be born looking like animalistic abominations. Many people consider them demons as a result, even though they are mortal and simply the result of mutations caused by exposure to the Abyss.
Video Games
- Brütal Legend: Eddie's father is the human hero Riggnarok and his mother is the demon emperor Succoria.

- Diablo III: Leah occasionally has explosive outbursts of magical energy whenever she gets angry or distressed. The climax of the game's third act reveals that this is because she's actually the daughter of the demon Diablo, who sired her with the witch Adria while possessing the hero from the first game. Because of this, Adria merges her body with the Black Soulstone, which contains the souls of all the defeated Lords of Hell, allowing Diablo to fully possess her and become the Prime Evil.
Adria: [mocking] Dear Leah. Deckard always suspected... your true father was Diablo himself! And now, my daughter, you shall serve as his vessel!
- Disgaea: Hour of Darkness: The protagonist, Laharl, is actually a half-demon with a human mother. Outside of a single comment from Flonne, this is never directly addressed in the game. The tie-in novels, on the other hand...
- The Elder Scrolls: Demiprinces are the direct offspring of unions between mortals and Daedric Princes or Lords. They look mostly human, but with small horns and unsual skin tones. They tend to be extremely eccentric, owing to the bizarre nature of the Daedra, and often have a skewed view of things like time and memory, as well as lacking mortal characteristics like willfulness, cruelty, or foresight. In addition to a short attention span, they have difficulty focusing on information and concepts outside their spheres of influence, but when it comes to said spheres they are undisputed masters.
- Fate/Grand Order:
- Merlin calls himself a Cambion, as he is the son of a human woman and an Incubus. Despite appearances, he doesn't consider himself human because he cannot feel emotions with the same intensity as the average person and therefore he's more akin to a high-functioning sociopath.
- Tomoe Gozen is the daughter of a human and an Oni, a kind of fire demon. Most of the time she appears human and keeps her oni blood suppressed, but she becomes more oni-like (including growing horns) in her third and fourth ascensions. She's the main character of the Setsubun event, which was instigated by Shuten-douji to make Tomoe accept her oni half.
- Heroes of Might and Magic:
- Xeron is one of the heroes of the Kreegan Inferno faction, and is half-Kreegan, half human. Rmors claim that his father was an Erathian knight who was seduced but not slain.
- The orcs of Ashan are a variation, being Artificial Hybrids created from experiments in which human test subjects had mutations induced by receiving blood transfusions from demons.
- New Legends has the supporting character Boo, who's half-demon but looks more demon than human, with menacing red eyes, demonic horns, purple skin and towering over the human characters. He's a case of Dark Is Not Evil however, befriending you in the second stage and helping you reclaim the throne.
- Ninja Gaiden:
- The demons of the setting are called fiends. Ryu Hayabusa, the main protagonist, is descended from a clan of human-fiend hybrids who are tasked with fighting evil. This makes Ryu vulnerable to potential corruption by the Greater Fiend Doku.
- Ryu's friend and ally Rachel is a Fiend Hunter who is part Fiend due to a blood curse. This grants her superhuman powers but she uses them to fight evil just like Ryu. Unfortunately, her sister Alma was corrupted into a Greater Fiend by the same curse.
- Planescape: Torment: Party member Annah is a tiefling who looks more or less human aside from having a rat-like tail. Other tiefling characters also show up in the game, some of which are considerably less human looking due to having features like horns or goat-like legs. There's also Vrischika, a shopkeeper who's an alu-fiend, which is a type of cambion resulting from a human father and succubus mother.
- Shadows of the Damned: The game's shopkeeper, Christopher, was the result of a union of a human and demon and in spite of his demonic appearance, he's a pretty Nice Guy who's more than willing to help out Garcia as long as he'd well fed.
- Tengai Makyou II Manjimaru: Kinu was the product of a human mother (whom she inherited the physical appearance) and an oni father (where her dark powers came from).
Visual Novels
- The Tohno clan in Tsukihime and its spinoffs are all demon hybrids, though the degree to which their demonic powers are expressed varies from one individual to the next and the demon blood is so watered-down in some families (such as the Arimas) that they're almost entirely normal humans. The main family is highly inbred in an effort to maintain their powers. This is not without disadvantages, as the risk of "inverting" to a Superpowered Evil Side is higher in those who are more demon-inclined and they have to take special steps to avoid it, such as drinking blood (among other, less savory methods).
Webcomics
- Demon King: The male lead Toru Akujin is a one-quarter demon "man-devil", the son of the half-demon Minoru (himself the son of a human wizard and the demon Valhelamet) and the human Etsuko. Both father and son look like deformed humans and have greater than normal magic abilities and strength.
