Tyrant Demon
Tyrant demons are among the most feared of demons. Many types of demons can live within a society, but a tyrant demon's nature is to rule unquestioned. They will never be satisfied until they are sitting at the very top of society ruling all beneath them. The fact that they are among the most powerful of demons makes the prospect of denying them power or even dislodging them from their throne that much harder. For most people, all they can do is hope that the immortal demon's ideas of leadership are merciful.
Once they have secured a domain, tyrant demons grow even stronger. They have an innate connection to their realm that allows them to influence it, shaping weather and terrain to their whims. Anyone who swears fealty to them are forever bound to their commands, magically compelled to obey any edict they proclaim. And their magical capabilities are further enhanced. To fight a tyrant demon in their realm is a fool's errand, but equally hard is getting them to leave it behind.
The fear tyrant demons inspire are not just because of their capabilities, but because of a palpable aura of dread they exude. Their powers of control manifests in an ability to command even their enemies, a bellowed order causing close friends to spontaneously strike each other down. They can also unleash powerful elemental attacks, blasting enemies to dust, while leaving allies and terrain completely untouched.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Tyrant demons are massive and muscular, covered in black scaled underlit by a subtle, orange glow. They have four limbs and can shift between a bipedal and quadrupedal stance as they desire, moving faster on all four. They have massive wings, great curved horns, to thick, long tail and great claws and teeth. Like most demons they are exceedingly tough. This toughness is enhanced with a powerful magical shield that surrounds them and their ability to rapidly recover from any wound. Only divine weapons can get through these defenses and are in fact the only things that can kill them, but even with such weapons the scales that cover the demon's body are hard to breach. Dark magic has no effect on them. Tyrant demons literally fear nothing and their body rejects all poisons and diseases, as well as any attempt at stunning them.
Genetics and Reproduction
Like all demons, tyrant demons are born when strong emotions of control, dominance and uncontested rule coalescences in the Ether. The amount of energy required is great, however, and tyrant demons are as a result rare. They are capable of non-reproductive intercourse, though for tyrant demons it is usually just another way of dominating others.

Newly born tyrant demons seek to lay claim to anything and everything they lay eyes on after they are born. This urge never fades, but as they grow older, they become more strategic in how they go about it, learning to be patient and mindful of the ressources.
Ecology and Habitats
One would be hard pressed to call any environment sub-optimal, as no matter where it is, a tyrant demon would very much like to lay claim to it.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Tyrant demons are emotivores who feed of feelings of domination, both from them ruling over others and from others experiencing the same thing. This presents a paradoxical problem for most tyrant demons. By their very nature, the wish to rule unopposed, yet at the same time, desire to encourage others to dominate. Most tyrant demons therefore cultivate a circle of rival rulers to clash with over territory.
