* He's appeared several times in ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959''.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZone1959S1E6EscapeClause Escape Clause]]", a hypochondriac makes a DealWithTheDevil to avoid death.
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZone1959S2E5TheHowlingMan The Howling Man]]", a man must decide whether to release the title character. Once he does, he finds out who the captive really is...

** Satan has never been [[HotAsHell sexier]] than when ''she'' was played by Creator/JulieNewmar in "[[Recap/TheTwilightZone1959S4E14OfLateIThinkOfCliffordville Of Late I Think of Cliffordville]]".

** Music/{{Natas}}: [[FunWithAcronyms Nation Ahead of Time And Space]], or "Satan" backwards?

* The old arcade game ''Psychic 5'' features statues of a demon sit upon a throne (referred to as Satan in the manual) that you have to destroy in order to finish the levels.

** The conclusion of "The Hole Idea" shows the kindly Professor who created the portable hole using one to send his obnoxious wife to Hell, only for the Devil to bring her back.
-->'''Devil''': Isn't it bad enough down there without ''her??''

* Tom in the ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' cartoon "Heavenly Puss" apparently gets killed and won't be granted passage to his final reward until he gets Jerry to sign a certificate of forgiveness. If Tom fails, he'll he sent to Hell where the devil--an underworld vision of Spike the bulldog--eagerly awaits him.

* "Sympathy for the Devil" from''Music/BeggarsBanquet'' by Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}} works the WickedCultured line: "Please allow me to introduce myself/I'm a ManOfWealthAndTaste".

--''[[Literature/TheDivineComedy Inferno]]'', canto 34 -] ]]

* In the series ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'', Lucifer is ''always'' around the corner, pulling strings in his quest to defeat YHVH. He often appears as a blonde human, named (groan) LouisCypher (or in [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney one entry]], [[GenderFlip Louisa Ferre]].). But nobody ever seems to get it anyway, so to Hell with it...his posse in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiI'' includes Beelzebub, Asura, Arioch, the gender-confused Astaroth, and Norse baddie Surt.
** ''Satan'', on the other hand, is [[TheDragon God's servant]] (of the ''hasatan'' flavor in the original Hebrew tradition), as showcased in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiII''; needless to say, Lucifer and Satan do ''not'' get along. The kicker: God manages to be such [[GodIsEvil a massive jerk]] in ''Shin Megami Tensei II'' that Satan gets fed up and joins the player should he choose the Law path.
** In the ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' series, you can ''summon'' Satan. And Lucifer. And Lucifer's prettier version (usually called Helel). Put two of the three (it changes depending on the version) into the main character's lineup in ''[[VideoGame/{{Persona 3}} 3]]'' and you can use Armageddon, which kills...anything and everything, really. In ''[[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} 4]]'', Satan is "merely" a persona of the Judgment Arcana, whilst Helel[[note]]Lucifer during his time as a loyal servant of God[[/note]] and Lucifer[[note]]the FallenAngel King of Hell[[/note]] are the ultimate personas associated with the Star and Judgment Arcanas, respectively.
** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'' has the fallen angel Lucifer, the old testament Satan, and Satanael from {{UsefulNotes/Gnosticism}}. [[spoiler: Satanael is the ultimate Persona of Joker, and the EleventhHourSuperpower needed to take down [[EldritchAbomination Yaldabaoth]].]] Satan, the Ultimate Persona of the Judgment Arcana, is used to fuse Lucifer, the Ultimate Persona of the Star Arcana, [[spoiler:which is then used to fuse Satanael on a NewGamePlus]].
** In ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga 2,'' Satan is present as the ultimate hidden {{Superboss}}. Aside from being as insanely powerful as you'd expect from a {{Superboss}} in an SMT game, he only appears in Hard Mode.
* Mundus from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry1'', who was originally intended to be named Satan. He comes in white and looks somewhat like an angel (that is, until Dante messes him up but good, revealing the EldritchAbomination within). He's not quite omnipotent, though, but it does seem thus far that he cannot be permanently killed, even with the power of Sparda, so Dante eventually has to seal him away like his father did long ago.
* In the ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'' video game series, the protagonists must fight the three Prime Evils: Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal. All are alternate names for Satan.
** In VideoGame/DiabloIII [[spoiler: Diablo "becomes" Satan with the Black Soulstone, which combines the Soul of the Seven Evils into Tathamet, the personification of all evil in the Diablo universe.]]
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyII'', the final boss [[spoiler:goes to Hell and becomes Satan by killing him.]] Beezlebub, however, is a miniboss that can be found [[spoiler:in front of a certain treasure chest, and as a bonus boss in the ''BonusLevel'', in which you play as the characters that died during the main storyline]].
* You ''work for'' Satan in the first ''VideoGame/{{Deception}}'', plotting to resurrect him. At least, at first; whether you '''continue''' working for him through the story is up to you. In the fifth game, ''Deception IV: Blood Ties'', you play as his daughter with the same goal of bringing him back.

* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'' features a series of Stranger missions with an obviously wealthy and intelligent man who sends John on bizarre missions that only an omnipotent being could know of, always making the options quite clear to John, such as whether to rob or help a nun, or to stop or encourage a man to cheat on his wife. He also makes remarks that he is an "accountant" and that he hopes his son grows up to be "like John." It gets even more bizarre, after John shoots him in the back of the head three times and he continues to walk away, unharmed. Later on, he can be seen both at [[spoiler: the execution of John Marston and then once more at his funeral. And the spot of his last encounter? The future location of John's grave. Though by his accord, it's "Quite a nice place."]]
** Though there is a bit of a debate amongst players as to whether he is The Devil, The Grim Reaper, or God. All three view points have compelling evidence, and it was probably Rockstar's intention to make it ambiguous enough that it could be whichever one you think it is.
* ''VideoGame/DeathSmiles'' decided that plain old Satan was too boring, so its final boss and head of the demonic invasion triggered by Jitterbug is '''''Demonic Imperator Tyrannosatan'''''

* ''Franchise/{{Tekken}}'' has the Devil Gene, which allows members of the Mishima family (besides [[BadassNormal Heihachi]]) to turn into a Devil, and the Devil Forms of Kazuya and his son Jin are usually considered the strongest combatants in the game as far as story goes. Jinpachi, Heihachi's father and the BigBad of ''VideoGame/Tekken4'', was initially thought to have the Devil Gene as well, but WordOfGod stated Jinpachi was under DemonicPossession from a different powerful evil spirit.
** Note: this was passed over to them through at least one (Kazuya) [[DealWithTheDevil Faustian deal]] with an [[GoodWingsEvilWings evil winged]] ManipulativeBastard called... [[ShapedLikeItself Devil]].
** [[spoiler: ''VideoGame/Tekken7'' explains the Devil Gene actually comes from Heihachi’s wife and Kazuya’s mother Kazumi and her family the demonic Hachijo clan. Kazumi in her SuperPoweredEvilSide tries to kill her husband, revealing her plan to wipe out the Mishimas who she deemed as a threat. Heihachi reluctantly kills Kazumi in self defence and [[OffingTheOffspring chucks his son Kazuya off a cliff]] so that he’ll never become a Devil like his mother... but ironically [[NiceJobBreakingItHero awakens the Devil Gene in Kazuya]] as result of his actions]].
* ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' has a backstory character named Lucifer who is in charge of the Netherrealm (an infinite, fiery, wasteland where evil goes to rot, blatantly Hell).
** And he's apparently overthrown by Shinnok, a fallen Elder God, a high ranking divine being who fell from grace.
* In ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' we have Mephiles the Dark (named after Mephistopheles from Myth/{{Faust}}) and Iblis (named after the [[UsefulNotes/{{Islam}} Islamic]] version of Satan). The former is a ManipulativeBastard and ConsummateLiar acting like the False Prophet and the latter is a mindless destructive monster acting like the Beast of Revelation. They are revealed to be the two separated aspects of [[spoiler: [[TrueFinalBoss Solaris]], a [[LightIsNotGood sun]] [[GodOfEvil god]] who [[OmnicidalManiac has the power AND desire to destroy all of existance (or at least the space-time continuum)]]. What makes them so terrifying is that they actually ''succeeded'' in their plan even after the heroes defeated them by a CosmicRetcon.]]
** When they first fuse back into [[spoiler: Solaris]], the initial result is a creature with [[NumberOfTheBeast 6 stones on his back, 6 claws, and 6 horn segments on his head]].
** After 06 ended up creating a CosmicRetcon of its own that struck it from Canon, the next closest thing to Satan in Sonic appears to be [[http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Gaia Dark Gaia]]. A being born before time, and an "incarnation of darkness, night and destruction". It also has a suitably demonic design, corrupts anything its energies touch, lives within the Earth's core, has control over a list monsters that attack people on the surface during the events of ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'', and is in a constant war of death and rebirth with Light Gaia, the Divine counter to the Demonic. When Eggman awakens it in ''Unleashed'', it tears the world into fragments and corrupts many within it - [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent including Sonic himself]].
* In ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow'', Satan in TheManBehindTheMan, responsible for a long list of atrocities humankind has been witness to. [[spoiler:First, he manipulated the heroic Founders of the Brotherhood of Light into performing an AngelicTransformation ritual that separated them from their evil sides. Satan brainwashed and possessed one of the titular Lords of Shadow, and under that guise, accompanied the protagonist, Gabriel Belmont, waiting while the latter assembled an artifact that would allow him to re-enter Heaven and take revenge upon God. Gabriel thwarted Satan's plan, and with God's help, banished him back to Hell.]]
** Satan returns in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow2'', this time around, however, with a different motive: he wishes to enslave both Gabriel and Zobek following his humiliating defeat. This prompts the two mortal enemies to join forces and use their combined powers to locate and eliminate Satan's Acolytes on Earth. [[spoiler:Ultimately -- intentionally -- Gabriel fails, and the last surviving Acolyte summons his father. But despite all of his prowess and cunning, Satan is defeated once more, and Gabriel pierces his heart with the Vampire Killer, putting an end to the original Prince of Darkness.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'':
** Queen Sheba is the ruler of Inferno, the realm of demons that Bayonetta often taps into for her most stylish finishers. In fact, [[spoiler:Bayonetta summons Sheba herself in order to finish off the Creator God Jubileus by ''[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punching her all the way throught the solar system and into the sun]]'']].
** [[spoiler:Rodin himself also counts all of the character art for Rodin in the unlockable extras never uses that name, giving his name as "Mephisto", the name of a German folklore demon most prominently mentioned in the Faust legend and occasionally has been used as another name for the Devil himself. Appropriately, Rodin's role is broadly similar to the traditional devil: a fallen angel who is thwarted and punished from trying to conquer Heaven (and is feared by it) who rules his own "sub-basement" location after his punishment, and jokes about the "deals" he provides Bayonetta.]]
* Bonechill from ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'' is an {{Expy}} of Satan, specifically the Satan from ''Literature/TheDivineComedy'', being a giant six-winged ice dragon who was imprisoned in the bowels of [[TheUnderworld the Underwhere]] with his army. His plotting to take over the [[FluffyCloudHeaven Overthere]] in the wake of an apocalyptic event also brings the ''Literature/BookOfRevelation'' to mind.
* Satan is the bad guy of the first ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' game, and a regular character in the series. Tends to be the FinalBoss (or at least one of them), as well as a [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard cheater]]. However, this seems to be PlayedForLaughs; Satan liked Hawaiian T-shirts, wanted to ''marry'' Arle instead of killing her, and his plans were absolutely harmless (without the FridgeHorror). Even in Sega's run, he never actually did anything evil, and he even became a technical big brother to another horned character.
** His presence actually dates back to the earlier RPG series, ''VideoGame/MadouMonogatari'', where he's the final boss of the second game. He also has a bit part in SFC remake of the original, where he's noticeably charmed by the 5-year-old Arle.
** Oddly enough, in Sega's run, they did add a BigRedDevil that was a spirit, sealed in a book for a long enough time for the text about it to fade. Though, this spirit was ''also'' harmless, as the most it did when it was the villain was try and bring its former body back for [[ConceptsAreCheap something]].
* The ninja from ''VideoGame/TheNinjaKids'' deal with a bunch of satanists, terrorists and assorted evildoers who want to "resurrect" Satan. They succeed, and you have to fight him as the final boss.
* The old arcade game ''Psychic 5'' features statues of a demon sit upon a throne (referred to as Satan in the manual) that you have to destroy in order to finish the levels.
* Manages to be subverted in ''[[VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia Fate/hollow ataraxia]]'': The guy who is claimed to be the Devil was actually just some villager who was completely powerless but earned the title of the local devil by being [[SilentScapegoat blamed for all the evils in the world and sacrificed to achieve peace]].

* ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac'' features him as one of the final bosses (in the vanilla version, anyway). He also has an ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWPWGk0wvcg absolutely badass theme song.]]''
** [[UpdatedReRelease Rebirth]] includes the optional encounter of [[spoiler: MEGA SATAN, the TrueFinalBoss.]] His theme song has also gotten [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq01zDqEOec an even more badass upgrade.]]
* Most ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal'' continuities that go into the backstory of ManipulativeBastard BigBad game master Calypso have it that he either stole his wish granting power from a demon or got it in a DealWithTheDevil. But the latest game's story goes further than that. It has the Preacher convinced that Calypso is ''the devil himself'', and the details on the differences between him and the other versions of Calypso make this allegation hard to argue against.
* ''VideoGame/SaintsRowGatOutOfHell'' has a BigRedDevil version of Satan as the main villain, who plans to marry off the Boss to his daughter, Jezebel, in Hell.
* Whereas the other ''VideoGame/AloneInTheDark'' games focused on Lovecraftian horror, the [[VideoGame/AloneInTheDark2008 2008 reboot]] instead has Lucifer as the GreaterScopeVillain. [[MemeticMutation He's the light bringer. He's the]] '''[[MemeticMutation fucking]]''' ''[[MemeticMutation universe]]''.
* In ''VideoGame/PonyIsland'', Lucifer ([[IHaveManyNames "The Beast, Lucifer Almighty, Satan etc."]]) is the sole proprietor of Satantech Incorporated (d/b/a Systemtech Incorporated), a company which develops video games such as ''Pony Island'' and ''Pony Galaxy'' in a scheme to tempt players into selling their souls.
* ''VideoGame/PuzzleAndDragons'' has Satan in three flavors. There is the descended version of Satan that disables healing but has one of the biggest damage nuke skills in the game. There is also ''two'' versions of Lucifer, one as an Archangel and the other as an Archdemon from the REM machine.
* The Outsider from the ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}'' series is not a proactive force of destruction, but much closer to the original Hebrew definition of Satan as the accuser/tempter from the Book of Job, as instead of being a prince of darkness, he grants pieces of his power to a select few individuals at any time and watches what they do with it. A strong argument can be made either way that this is meant mainly as a test of his chosen's moral character (and one he prefers his subjects pass, even if he doesn't expect them to), or that the Outsider knows damn well how quickly power goes to their heads and relies on their fallibility to sow chaos and misery in the world without getting his hands dirty. Regardless of his actual nature, the local church in the game treats him as essentially an {{Expy}} of Old Scratch.
* In ''Videogame/TheWitcher3WildHunt'', Geralt encounters Gaunter O'Dimm, a seemingly ordinary merchant of mirrors who proves to be a [[RealityWarper terrifyingly powerful]] [[TimeMaster master of strange magics]] and who forms pacts with others to give them gifts, in exchange for eventually taking their souls through [[LoopholeAbuse manipulating the hell out of the wordings of his contracts]]. A conversation with a scholar who researched O'Dimm reveals him to be an ancient, malicious being who goes by many titles, but the most consistent one was "Evil Incarnate." Much like Old Scratch, he uses classic tropes associated with Satan, such as making deals and bargains for souls and often striking those bargains at crossroads. And ultimately, [[spoiler: Geralt cannot kill him; the only way to beat O'Dimm is to beat him in a game of wits to win back the soul of the man he had condemned]].
* The Devil is the main villain of ''Videogame/{{Cuphead}}'', to whom the protagonists end up owing their souls after an unlucky roll of the dice at his casino. He forces them to go out and collect the soul contracts of others in order to pay off their debt.
* For a series about going to Hell to kill demons with face-fulls of hot lead and plasma, ''[[Franchise/{{Doom}} DOOM]]'' has been quite coy about depicting Old Scratch himself, likely to avoid pissing off the MoralGuardians even more than the game's premise will. It took five games and a DLC to reveal Satan in the flesh; previously, expies include the Icon of Sin in ''VideoGame/DoomIIHellOnEarth''[[note]]a giant goat-skull embedded in a wall that births demons to fight you. He becomes a full-fledged kaiju final boss in ''VideoGame/DoomEternal''[[/note]], the Maledict from ''VideoGame/Doom3''[[note]]a massive Hell-Dragon, alluding to one of Satan's described forms from Revelation[[/note]], and the Titan from ''VideoGame/Doom2016''[[note]]a skyscraper sized demon that Doomguy already killed in the game's backstory[[/note]].
** ''VideoGame/DoomEternal'''s first DLC reveals the backstory behind the Doom universe's version of Satan: Davoth[[note]]he's the narrator of the Slayer's Testaments for some weird reason[[/note]] was [[GodIsFlawed the first experimental creation of the multiverse]] and given domain over paradise, but God could only give immortality to a few of his creations, so Davoth had to watch the mortals he loved and watched over die constantly. Davoth became obsessed with discovering the secret to mass-producing immortality, creating experimental monsters, driving himself mad, and turning paradise into literal Hell, until he waged war with The Father and lost. Since then, [[SealedEvilInACan his essence has been sealed in an orb of divine power]], but his ghost is so powerful that he still commands the armies of Hell. Even after ''decillion'' years, he is still obsessed with achieving true mass-produced immortality and getting revenge on all of his enemies in the process, even if it causes the slow and painful extermination of all other life in the multiverse, which has driven the plot of the entire series. [[spoiler:Also, his physical form is physically identical to the Doom Slayer's, he intentionally orchestrated the Doom Slayer's journey so that Doomguy would kill all his enemies for him, ''and technically, he is God''.]] [[AmbiguousSituation Maybe]].
* ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld'' features Eblis Dominus Inferni In Profondis as the main villain of the game's Hell arc. Having helped create the Hell Dimensions while still a member of [[OurAngelsAreDifferent the Host]], in the millennia since his fall from grace, he's used his superior technological knowledge to enslave the Hellspawn and use them as a means of eventually taking over Earth. Character-wise, he's an EvilColonialist who considers himself superior to both humans and demons alike, and spends most of his time onscreen abusing his demonic servants and belittling humans. However, despite being one of the toughest Dungeon bosses in the entire game, he's just a BigBadWannabe that wouldn't have been able to begin invading Earth if he hadn't captured [[AntiHero Theodore Wicker]] early in the arc, and ends up being forced into a humiliating retreat when Wicker is able to beat him in a WizardsDuel. Plus, he spends most of the game being hopelessly overshadowed by more powerful villains, most prominently [[EldritchAbomination the Dreamers]].
* Both Lucifer ''and'' Satan appear in ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'', though Lucifer plays more of an active role as the incarnation of the FallenAngel that terrorizes Mystaria. While initially believed to be a JerkAss that was evil for the sake of being evil, his backstory reveals that he is [[FreudianExcuse fairly sympathetic]]. As it goes, he was a former Arch Seraph that was loyal to his “God”, the goddess of justice and eternity Arbiter Mortis who would send him on missions to wipe out those who disrupt the peace of the world and the heavens. As it turns out, she would also send him to wipe out innocents that she felt disrupted the peace, even framing a young boy who was capable of summoning monsters as the murderer of an entire village so as to trick Lucifer into getting rid of him. After being unable to save the boy and finding out he’d been used, Lucifer [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone questioned his faith]] and fell, thus rebelling against the God’s, having a curse placed upon him that fueled his evilness until the protagonists travel through time to reverse everything and change him. By the end of everything, he becomes an AntiHero that fights on the side of the protagonists, but still hates the God’s.

* ''VideoGame/TrillionGodOfDestruction'': While his name was never specified, the one whom rebelled against God and was banished to the Underworld would later be known as Satan, the first Great Overlord and leader of the [[FallenAngel Fallen Ones]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Afterparty}}'' revolves around two teens who end up in Hell and try to escape by beating Satan in a celestial drinking tournament. The game heavily parodies and deconstructs the whole ManOfWealthAndTaste portrayal; here, Satan comes off like a [[TheDevilIsALoser pathetic]], [[TheAlcoholic drunken]] {{Fratbro}}.
* ''VideoGame/{{Helltaker}}'': Lucifer appears as one of the [[CuteMonsterGirl demon girls of Hell]], referred to as "Lucy" by [[spoiler:Beelzebub]]. She's a beautiful white-haired and white-horned woman with [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] and wearing a [[SharpDressedWoman snazzy black and red suit]]. She's characterized as calculating bureaucrat and business woman (even going by the title of "CEO of Hell") who enjoys tempting humans with AnOfferYouCantRefuse that result in YourSoulIsMine. Despite this, however, she's also a {{Tsundere}} who decides to join the Helltaker's harem upon being bribed with [[SweetTooth chocolate pancakes]], and shows a surprisingly caring side when she even helps Helltaker make food for the rest of harem in the ending.

* ''VideoGame/DesperateLoveFeast'' has him briefly appear in one scene where he calls the protagonist "cute" and promises to watch over him. It is also heavily indicated that [[spoiler:he is the GreaterScopeVillain who drove BigBad Chihiro insane]].

* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'':
** The 2013 Scream Fortress event reveals that [[TomeOfEldritchLore the Bombinomicon]] became Satan at some point, and he appears in Hell when a match on Helltower goes into endgame. He's pretty glad to see the mercs and rewards them with their own spellbook if they survive.
** ''TF Comics #6'' also features [[spoiler:a more traditional BigRedDevil who Medic sold his soul to. Medic then proceeds to reveal [[DidYouJustScamCthulhu he stole his friends' souls and grafted them onto himself]] in order to con Satan into giving him an extra half-century on Earth, [[EvilIsPetty and his pen]]]].

* ''VideoGame/FaithTheUnholyTrinity'' is spent hunting down demons and their worshippers as they attempt to summon the Antichrist upon the mortal plane, and yet Satan himself only makes one appearance throughout the entire trilogy, and it's as [[LightIsNotGood a being of pure light]] in a flashback. He offers John a chance to leave the home of a possessed girl, but only if he swears to forfeit her soul. In his weakness, John relents. This sends him down a path of regret that ultimately leads to him returning a year later to make things right, which is the start of the game.

* The Outsider from the ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}'' series is not a proactive force of destruction, but much closer to the original Hebrew definition of Satan as the accuser/tempter from the Book of Job, as instead of being a proactive force of destruction, he grants pieces of his power to a select few individuals at any time and watches what they do with it. A strong argument can be made either way that this is meant mainly as a test of his chosen's moral character (and one he prefers his subjects pass, even if he doesn't expect them to), or that the Outsider knows damn well how quickly power goes to their heads and relies on their fallibility to sow chaos and misery in the world without getting his hands dirty. Regardless of his actual nature, the local church in the game treats him as essentially an {{Expy}} of Old Scratch.
* In ''Videogame/TheWitcher3WildHunt'', Geralt encounters Gaunter O'Dimm, a seemingly ordinary merchant of mirrors who proves to be a [[RealityWarper terrifyingly powerful]] [[TimeMaster master of strange magics]] and who forms pacts with others to give them gifts, in exchange for eventually taking their souls through [[LoopholeAbuse manipulating the hell out of the wordings of his contracts]]. A conversation with a scholar who researched O'Dimm reveals him to be an ancient, malicious being who goes by many titles, but the most consist one was "Evil Incarnate." Much like Old Scratch, he uses classic tropes associated with Satan, such as making deals and bargains for souls and often striking those bargains at crossroads. And ultimately, [[spoiler: Geralt cannot kill him; the only way to beat O'Dimm is to beat him in a game of wits to win back the soul of the man he had condemned]].

* The ''WebAnimation/{{Hellaverse}}'' portrays Lucifer and Satan as different individuals:

Satan is traditionally associated with a host of [[QuirkyMiniBossSquad archdemonic sidekicks]], among the best known of which are {{Mephistopheles}}, Azazel, Belial, {{Mammon}}, Moloch, Baal, {{Asmodeus}}, {{Beelzebub}}, [[TheSmurfettePrinciple and]] Myth/{{Lilith}}. These are sometimes seen as [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils servants of Satan]] (often with more effective power over humans, presumably because their actions are not so closely watched), but are also (with the obvious exception of Lilith) often conflated into alternate names for the same being. Most of these names, as with "Lucifer", derive from supernatural figures from pre-Jewish beliefs in the Middle East, who were [[RetCon changed into devils]] as the new Abrahamic faiths took over.

* Music/{{Black Sabbath}} Mentioned frequently in their works, notably in ''Music/WarPigs'', described as laughing at the corrupt souls left to rot on Judgement Day, and then spreading his wings in satisfaction.

* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' has the Devil Gene, which allows members of the Mishima family (Besides [[BadassNormal Heihachi]]) to turn into a Devil, and the Devil Forms of Kazuya and his son Jin are usually considered the strongest combatants in the game as far as story goes. Jinpachi, Heihachi’s father the BigBad of ''VideoGame/Tekken4'' was initially thought to have the Devil Gene as well, but WordOfGod stated Jinpachi was under DemonicPossession from a different powerful evil spirit.
** Note: this was passed over to them through at least one (Kazuya) [[DealWithTheDevil Faustian deal]] with an [[GoodWingsEvilWings evil winged]] ManipulativeBastard called…[[ShapedLikeItself Devil]].

* In ''Literature/RoTeO'', Lucifer isn't actually Satan...that's Terrafer's job. The usual tropes of Satan are split pretty evenly between the two though. As for powers, fellow devil Kira gets [[LightEmUp light]], Lucifer gets the firepower ([[CoolGuns in more ways]] [[PlayingWithFire than one]]) and [[DishingOutDirt Terrafer's is a given]].

** Lucifer Morningstar is a FallenAngel, the Sin of Pride and the King of Hell. He is married to Myth/{{Lilith}}, with whom he has one daughter in the form of [[WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel Charlie]].
