* ''Blog/CodexInversus'': The Devils were one of the two original species of divine begins created by the Demiurge and tasked with overseeing creation, alongside the Angels. In the modern day, they rule the Holy Infernal Empire, a large and civilized nation. The Demons are a splinter group who opposed the truce between Hell and Heaven and tried to force the Empire back onto the warpath. They waged numerous civil wars to gain control of the Empire, but in the modern day are reduced to a few remote mountain holdouts. Physically, Devils resemble humans with horns and red skin, while Demons use magic to awaken monstrous latent traits such as wings, tails, tentacles or additional mouths, and are nowadays little more than monstrous savages thanks to centuries of inbreeding and self-induced mutations. Dæmons are a third splinter group that was forced to flee the Empire after a failed coup and rebuilt itself into a smaller kingdom farther out. The modern Dæmon Kingdom is part of a larger confederacy of tiny nations, and its people are known for their piratical traditions, overstated claims to being the true inheritors of the ancient infernal culture, and peculiar asymmetric horns, a recessive trait brought out by their small population size.

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' is the TropeCodifier and probably one of the biggest influences on this trope's prevalence in media. Demons and devils are both classified as "fiends" hailing from the Lower Planes, but are otherwise quite different creatures. The ChaoticEvil demons are endlessly spawned from the Infinite Layers of the Abyss, suspected by some dark loremasters to be the PrimordialChaos that predates existence. The LawfulEvil devils descend from {{Fallen Angel}}s who battled the demons when the multiverse was young and the primary conflict was OrderVersusChaos, but became tainted by what they were fighting and were cast out of the heavens, taking up residence in the Nine Hells of Baator, where they convert damned mortal souls into [[DemonOfHumanOrigin new devils]]. The demons are trying to either tear down creation or corrupt it into something like the Abyss, while the devils are trying to "save" the multiverse from their ancient foes by bringing it under the devils' tyrannical rule. The conflict between the two is known as the Blood War, an eternal battle of EvilVersusEvil to see which fiendish faction will prevail and go on to wage war on the Upper Planes and the rest of the cosmos -- as such, many parties across the rest of the alignment spectrum have a vested interest in ensuring that the demons and devils remain eternally stalemated, the demons' advantage of numbers checked by the devils' superior discipline and tactics. The differences between the two fiends also extend to their home planes: the Abyss is an endless anarchic battleground between competing demon lords, the strongest of which rule one of more [[LayeredWorld layers]], while Baator has a strict hierarchy that blends feudalism with corporate politics as the devils scheme their way up the ladder and seek to supplant their superiors. Oh, and there's a ''third'' faction of fiends as well, the NeutralEvil yugoloths, native to the Gray Waste of Hades but currently residing on the Bleak Eternity of Gehenna. These amoral fiendish mercenaries side with whoever pays best at the moment, and thus profit greatly from the Blood War continuing indefinitely.
