* On the ''LetsPlay/DreamSMP'', Fundy, Tubbo, and Sapnap are all part of the Dreamon Hunters, a group of investigators who seek out and destroy [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Dreamons]]. However, the group has been [[AbortedArc inactive]] as of [[CerebusSyndrome Seasons 2 and 3]], with each of the three members going their own separate ways in their own respective character arcs.

* In ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'', this trope is referenced by "The One Who Purifies Gods and Slays Demons'', an epithet applied to main character Touma. He has yet to directly fight any demons, let alone kill them, but his [[AntiMagic magic-negating power]] would presumably be effective against them. Interestingly, it's implied that the true meaning of this name may not be as a killer of demons. [[spoiler:The gods of the setting claim that it represents his ability to understand gods by talking to them. Touma has managed to talk gods into a HeelFaceTurn, raising the possibility that this is how he is intended to defeat demons as well.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ''TabletopGame/ArsMagica'' has several specialized anti-demon spells. However, although demon-slaying is seen as commendable, the [[MagicalSociety Order of Hermes]] strongly discourages making a habit of proactively hunting demons, since it risks provoking the wrath of {{Hell}} against the Order. (Again.)

* ''Fanfic/TheUltimateEvil'' (an AlternateUniverseFic about the first two seasons of ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'') introduces as one of the {{Original Character}}s a demon hunter named Nataline Homato. She's a member of a Japanese family (though her non-Japanese father was actually adopted) that has killed demons since the days of Medieval Japan, and she's described as [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy The Vampire Slayer's]] long lost cousin. She takes interest in the Chan Clan's encounters with the Demon Sorcerers and joins up to help and stop them after she attempts to slay Bai Tza, the Water Demon. [[spoiler: The Demon World re-write turns her into a DeadPersonOnDisplay as a [[MakeAnExampleOfThem warning against attempting to be a demon slayer]] in that world, which is now ruled by demons.]]
