Ohh, Erlik is a good one. I've got kind of a open sense of what defines 'demon', which basically needs to includes 2-3 of the following: (1) 'supernatural'-ish: having some sort of powers beyond just being a cryptozoological animal, (2) evil or nasty-natured, (3) having 2+ references via google where the word "demon" is attached to the name.

Hey, do you have Erlik? Or is that guy not relevant here? (Mongolian king of the dead, though I suppose he doesn't have to be a demon.)

Ahaha, thanks. I hope to eventually explore the concept of 'demon' in a variety of psychological motifs, so forming this list is sort of a casual bite-size-bit per day research project towards that goal.

whichbe, I came here to tell you what an impressive thing of beauty your list is, only to see that it has 666 words. GAH!!! I feel marked by the beast.

Enjoying your additions very much. :)

:-))

Perfect!

Well, this list has reached a static number of words.
Do you feel any more evil reading this whole list?

In Italian, babau (just to scare babies). This is how they translated Oogie Boogie in the Italian version of "The nightmare before Christmas", for example.

The "Persian version" of the boogeyman is lulu (loo-loo).

whichbe, I'm really starting to enjoy my daily dose of demonology.
