==Characteristics==
Equipped with almost every bit of paraphernalia one can think of being owned by a stereotypical [[Demon family|demon]], the monster bears wings, horns, a spiked tail, and a pitchfork. It wears a pair of green gloves and boots. With stats to match its bulky purple body, these monsters are usually a force to be reckoned with; capable of dealing heavy physical hits, but also casting advanced offensive magics to destroy its opponents. It has particular affinity for explosive magic, being commonly associated with the spell '''[[Kaboom]]'''. In many bestiaries where the Archdemon appears, it is stated that the [[Minidemon|Minidemons]] are the juvenile forms of Archdemons even though, with the exception of ''DQV'', their colors do not match up. The [[Imp]], however, has a purple color scheme, which is used by the Minidemon in ''DQV''.
