Demon hunter or demon slayer is a demonology-related historic occupation or folkloric character which specializes in killing demons, monsters, or undead creatures.[1][2] A demon hunter is commonly involved with a deity and angels, and typically wields religious text, holy water, and relics.[3]
The character type has diverse roots in myths, Abrahamic religions, African magic, Christian media, Classic Chinese Novels, and Japanese urban legend.[4][5] For example, Zhong Kui, a Chinese deity, is a slayer of various evil beings.
