Helltaker Demonesses

Pandemonica is the first demon encountered in Helltaker, and is a customer service representative in Hell. She is initially referred to as "The Tired Demon", but this is later changed to "The Sadistic Demon" in the game's ending.

Appearance Pandemonica, like most of the Helltaker cast, is depicted as a short demon girl with pale skin, red irises, a black arrow-tipped tail, and silvery-white hair. Her hair is wavy and fashioned in 3 large curls resting on her forehead, with the middle curl being larger than the two on either side. It reaches down both sides of her head, tucked behind her ears, with both ends curling inwards at the bottom of her head close to her chin. Additionally, she has a pony tail on the back of her head with two more large, distinctive curls. Poking out of her hair are two small black horns that are rounded at the tips. She has white eyebrows and has visible dark circles under her rounded eyes, giving her a tired appearance as her alias would suggest; after drinking coffee though, her eyes become much more sharp and angular, and her horns grow much larger, first curving in toward her ponytail and then upwards, and are much sharper. Over her eyes are a pair of round-framed glasses. Pandemonica also has a very professional look in terms of attire; She wears a red button-up long-sleeve shirt with a large folded collar underneath a black long-sleeved blazer, as well as a black pencil skirt, black gloves and a pair of black knee-high boots. How the skirt makes accommodations for her tail is unknown. She also wears an ID on a black lanyard, and upon first interaction is also seen holding a red clipboard. Personality Pandemonica was originally full of all of Vanripper's favorite traits, like being socially awkward but polite, archaic in an elegant way, and a tired hard worker; however, upon remembering that Helltakerwas supposed to be a game about bad demon girls, Vanripper added a more sadistic side to her personality which is brought out after she drinks coffee. In this state, she expresses frequent violent urges, including a willingness to break the Helltaker's fingers should he not brew her a good cup of coffee. In "Yet Another Short Comic About Demon Lore 🐑", it is revealed that Pandemonica's sadistic behavior in her caffeinated state may possibly be avoided by brewing truly good coffee. Trivia • Pandemonica's name is most likely a portmanteau of the word "Pandemonium" and the name "Monica", where Pandemonium could be referring to one of two definitions: ◦ The original Greek word, roughly translating to "Abode of all demons" ◦ "Pandæmonium" the capital of Hell in John Milton's epic "Paradise Lost". ◦ Her name also contains the Polish word demonica, which translates to demoness (a female demon) in English.

Modeus is the second demon encountered in Helltaker. Modeus is a demon girl with an insatiable sex drive. She is referred to as "The Lustful Demon".

Appearance

Modeus, like most of the Helltaker cast, is depicted as a short demon girl with pale skin, red irises, a black arrow-tipped tail, and silvery-white hair. Her hair is wavy and unruly, with several notable cowlicks of hair dispersed in no particular pattern. She has a left-swept fringe that stops at eyebrow's height, as well as two long segments of hair in front of either ear that drop down to chest-height, ending in a zigzag shape. While her irises are still red, rather than black pupils she has luminescent white pupils in the shape of hearts, and under her eyes is an always visible blush, though intensity varies. Adorning her head are two simple black horns pointing up, as well as many hearts that form a vague circlet around the sides and back of her hair.

Modeus has a figure commonly associated with models or adult actresses, with a large bust, small waist, and wider hips. In her idle state, she appears with her hands resting on her chest, wearing a black blazer with a red turtleneck sweater underneath, a black pencil dress split on both sides, and red leggings. Personality

Modeus at first appears to be the quintessential lust-crazed demon; upon first meeting Modeus, she immediately demands that the Helltaker do her right then and there. She continues to exhibit hypersexual tendencies in the next level when the player asks for life advice, to which Modeus replies, "Advice? Easy. Skip all the puzzles, gather all the bitches and let's engage in proper harem activities", inferring she is impatient for the completion of the harem. Pandemonica asks the Helltaker to forgive Modeus, and explains that most demons are like Modeus because "lust for sin is in our blood" and that it is "hard to keep in check".

While very sexually charged, Modeus is naive towards concepts like romance, as shown in the post-game level. When interacted with, she is seen to be reading a romantic comedy. She says she's never heard of romance before but thinks it is kinky, and when asked about going on a date by the Helltaker, she becomes flustered and calls him a "perverted degenerate." Trivia

The name "Modeus" is a reference to the demon Asmodeus who, in Binsfeld's classification of demons, is the demon that represents the deadly sin of lust. Vanripper originally intended for her style to be reminiscent of a cheap pornography actor, but later scrapped the idea and instead opted to have her to look like a sprinkled cupcake. She was added to Monster Camp in October 2021, as a DLC character.

Cerberus is the third Demon encountered in Helltaker, and although Cerberus has three bodies, there is only one soul living within and controlling all three of them. They are referred to as "The Triple Demon."

Appearance

Cerberus, like most of the Helltaker cast, is depicted as a short demon girl with pale skin, red irises, a black arrow-tipped tail, and silvery-white hair; however, in her case, she is represented as 3 girls rather than 1, although these traits still apply to all three. Since all three are identical, any descriptors applied to one of the girls apply to all of them. While not possessing horns like the rest of the demons, they instead have white canine ears that emerge from under their hair on the top of their heads; They also all have canine teeth, as evidenced by the small fangs present in their mouths in their idle sprite. Their eyes are very large, rounded, and wide, invoking an enthusiastic expression. They have parted fringes and their hair stretches all the way down their back, where at the end it is tied via hair tie into a short "tail".

Cerberus dons more form-fitting apparel, wearing red button-up long-sleeve shirts underneath black-striped suit vests, and black slim fit suit pants. They wear black cuffs over their red shirts just below the shoulder, as well as black gloves and a black ties tucked underneath their vests. Their tails seem to emerge from underneath their vests and over their pants. Personality

Cerberus, upon first meeting in the Underworld, is one of the more excitable demons with a happy-go-lucky attitude, as evidenced by their almost always smiling sprites and their enthusiastic dialogue. Cerberus, while at first seeming relatively innocent compared to the rest of the demon girls that join the Helltaker's party, quickly reveal a more sinister side of themselves, albeit while retaining their cute, seemingly harmless appearance. When joining the party, they all express their excitement to finally be able to "corrupt the mortal realm". At the same time, they also infer that they have no hesitation in tearing the Helltaker into pieces if he asks questions about bringing them to the normal world.

Life Advice

If player asks for life advice in fourth and fifth chapter Cerberus will sense Malina and Zdrada.

Trivia

Cerberus was originally supposed to have a single, younger looking body, to be accompanied by "not sure if legal" jokes. To avoid any potential legal trouble or bad publicity, they were instead made older and given her signature extra bodies. It's implied in their bad ending that Cerberus is more dangerous for how cute they are rather than their canine features; as the three bodies attack the Helltaker like "rabid dogs", no mention is made of any physical damage sustained. Instead, he's specifically said to have had a heart attack from the "cuteness of it all". It's mentioned that he need not be in one piece for them to cross the gates to the mortal realm, implying that, while they do have the strength to dismember a human, they seemingly can't kill one with that alone. An pornographic artist known as Krekkov created a piece on Cerberus (among other Helltaker characters), which depicted two of the Cerberi being affected by what was happening to one Cerberus. Vanripper commented on Short Comic About Demon Lore that Krekkov had "figured them out long ago, but now it's canon."

Malina is the fourth demon encountered in Helltaker, and the crew's "salty nostalgia gamer" with a love for turn based strategy games. She is referred to as "The Sour Demon".

Appearance

Like the other demons, Malina has fair skin, red, somewhat baggy eyes, and white hair, styled into a messy bob. Moreover, a pair of short black horns emerge from her hair and a forked tail from near her waist, emphasizing her demonic nature. Her mouth is drawn to emphasize her sour personality and attitude, and it is fixed in a perpetual frown.

Malina wears a red button-up shirt with sleeves folded just below her elbows, with a black, buttoned, sleeveless vest over it. Covering her lower half, she wears a black pencil skirt over a set of black pantyhose. She wears a set of 3 thin black bangles on each wrist. While working in Hell, she wears a black tie on her collar, but she removes it (along with loosening her collar) prior to meeting the Helltaker. Personality

Malina fulfills her title as The Sour Demon well; she is almost always in a grumpy mood, as well as being irritable, and/or aggressive, especially in the presence of her masochistic sister Zdrada. She tends to be among the most, if not the most foul-mouthed of the harem, befitting her tomboyish tendencies.

Malina tends to have a pessimistic view of her own life. In the "Prologue"[1] comic she outright states she hates it. In her own words, the only thing that keeps her sane, are video games, or in particular turn-based strategies, as she holds up a few in the "Prologue" comic. Malina's favorite game is Heroes of Might and Magic III (or Heroes 3 for short).[2] If the Helltaker asks for life advice in Chapter VI, Zdrada comments that Malina gets turned on while playing them. She is shown to be flustered thinking about Heroes 3 in the "Prologue" comic, after Zdrada shares this she's most likely telling the truth.

She has a extreme distaste for masochists, such as her sister. If the dialogue check in Chapter IV is failed, she assumes the Helltaker is one himself and kills him. However, despite her initial dismissive nature of him, she forms a bond over gaming with the Helltaker. When Azazel showed interest in Heroes 3, in the "Turn-Based Strategy Club"[3] comic, Malina and the Helltaker of them show her the basics of the game, becoming quickly impressed with her skill in the "Inferno"[4] comic.

Her interest in gaming also extends to board games, as she's been shown to be playing them twice in canon so far. The first was when she attempted to start a game of Gloomhaven[5] in the comic of the same name. The second was the Heroes 3 board game on the beach with Azazel.[6]

Malina's other passion seems to be alcohol, particularly vodka, as she makes herself a Screwdriver, and later chugs a bottle in the "Prologue" comic. So far, she been shown to be visibly drunk in canon three times, but tends to be shown paired with alcohol more often than not.

While in Hell, Malina's job was a janitor. In the "Prologue" comic she calls her tasks pointless, running way from doing it as much as she can. She appears to be a bit of a messy person herself; given her chosen hairstyle and the state of her desk in the "Songs of Conquest"[7] comic. She gets aggressive when others make a mess in areas she cleans, to the point of making threats.[8] Every time she's shown cleaning, her face has her signature frown or a scowl.[9]

Trivia

Malina's name is Polish for "Raspberry", and is a common name in Slavic countries. In older concepts, Malina possessed tattoos on her arms, but were scrapped due to Vanripper's inability to "make them consistent". She was the first demon to be revealed, seen in the Helltaker "Prologue" comic before the game's release. According to the comic, she's shown to have obtained copies of UFO: Enemy Unknown, Heroes II and Heroes III, Disciples: Sacred Lands, Lords of Magic, and an unknown number of games in the Fire Emblem series. On the inverse, the Fire Emblem series is one she has specifically shown distaste for, with her considering it to be "trash", and stating it "drives [her] mad".

Zdrada is the fifth demon encountered in Helltaker. She is referred to as "The Bitch Demon".

Appearance

Zdrada, like most of the Helltaker cast, is depicted as a short demon girl with pale skin, red irises, a black arrow-tipped tail, and silvery-white hair. It's quite short and most of it covers her left eye. Poking out of her hair are two small black horns that are rounded inwards. She has black eye shadow along with piercings on her mouth, ears and nose. She wears an arm brace on her right hand and a wrist cuff on her left hand, possibly hiding her masochistic scars. In addition to her white cross necklace, which is a clear reference to her name, she also wears a black choker. Her base attire consists of a red short-sleeved dress shirt, black leather pants held up with a belt, and black, knee-length heeled boots.

In "Just a Short Comic About Glasses", she temporarily wears a pair of black glasses with translucent white lenses, since she lost her contact lenses. Personality

Zdrada is shown to be a mean-spirited smoker and rarely cares for anything, and is very flippant as her label implies. She dislikes solving problems, nerdy puzzles and Malina's video games. She seems to always be smoking, and she doesn't care even if it is forbidden. She is shown to be sadomasochistic as well, as she finds pleasure in watching other people, including herself, in pain and despair, and doesn't care of what she has said. Her self-afflicted sadomasochism is shown with the cross she wears. Due to it being a holy symbol, it constantly burns her skin. She also loves to irritate and pester her younger sister, and calls her "Malinka" (diminutive of her name in Polish, meaning "Little Berry") instead of her proper name. She is rather straightforward, and tells the player that they can go kill themselves if they don't want to solve the puzzles in Level 6.

Trivia

The name "Zdrada" directly translated from Polish means "treason" or "betrayal", fitting with her and her sister being of Slavic roots as well as the cross on her necklace. According to "Just a Short Comic About Glasses", Zdrada wears contact lenses.[1] As shown in "Another Short Comic About Angels", the cross Zdrada wears constantly burns her, leaving a scar where it usually sits.

Azazel is the sixth character encountered in Helltaker. Azazel differs from the rest of the cast by being an angel.

Appearance

Azazel contrasts the demons in Hell by wearing a white, almost militaristic uniform, with yellow lining on her collar, sleeves, gloves, and down the middle of her shirt. As well, she wears a necklace under the collar of her uniform, which meets to hold a square cross with leaves protruding from under it. In the art book, it's shown that she wears pants with a belt, and white boots with straps on the top, with typical silver lining on the straps. Personality

Azazel is shown to be curious, embodying the "Bright-Eyed Cadet" trope, venturing down into hell by herself to collect information on Demons. She's shown to typically be writing down notes, and is determined to do so, as in the epilogue, although seeming traumatized by her experiences in the demon harem, she still continues to take notes.

In Mythology, Azazel is a fallen angel, typically cited as a scapegoat. In her concept art, Azazel is shown to have a more militaristic uniform, with a name tag, breast pockets, and epaulets. It appears that Azazel's necklace is the last remnant of this concept. In the future, Azazel eventually becomes a demon for her sinful actions in the harem, turning into the Loremaster.

Justice is the seventh demon encountered in Helltaker. Justice is a very chill demon. She is referred to as "The Awesome Demon".

Appearance

Justice, like most of the Helltaker cast, is depicted as a short demon girl with pale skin, a black arrow-tipped tail, and silvery-white hair. Her irises are grey as she is blind, which can be seen in the epilogue. She has a short pony tail on the back of her head, tightened with a red bandana. Poking out of her hair are two small black horns that are rounded at the tips. She has white eyebrows and wears sunglasses, masking her blindness.

Justice has a black tie with two silver clips attaching it to her red shirt. She wears a black suit jacket, which she wears, unbuttoned, around her shoulders. She sports red fingerless gloves, gifted to her by Lucifer, with metal tags on the wrists, labelled "HPJ", which likely stands for "High Prosecutor Justice". She wears black pants with a belt and boots like the rest of the demons.

Later in Examtaker, Justice's horns have changed black to white noting her advanced age. She no longer has her hair tied up, but instead wears it loose and keeps it medium length. She wears a black maid uniform with a white apron and red oven mitts.

In "Justice Joins The Team", she wears a red tank top, black shorts with a belt of the same color, black shoulder pads and a black protective belt on her tank top, a pair of handcuffs on her wrist, and a black baseball cap with "POLICE" written in white. She wears her hair down, and retains her gloves and sunglasses from the base game. Personality

Justice is the most laid-back demon in the game, and doesn't kill The Helltaker in any ending. Her personality is not fully explored in the game, as she has little dialogue, but what is shown almost describes her as a joker, and rather friendly, as she tells Judgement to "Keep going..." and "You're on a roll!", this could be either a joke direct towards Judgement, or a genuine expression which shows that she cares for Judgement, which could make sense, with Justice being the former High Prosecutor. However, her joker personality is further explored in the epilogue of Helltaker, with her taking a bet that the Helltaker has laser vision.

Trivia

Given her blindness, Justice's appearance is a reference to Lady Justice and the common idiom 'justice is blind'. According to dialogue in the Beelzebub ending, Justice was former High Prosecutor before Judgement. It is stated that she outright defeated Beelzebub, though this cost Justice her vision. In the comics released on Vanripper's Twitter account, Justice goes by the honorary nickname "Flybreaker" among the angels. She might be the only demon who is friends with another, as alluded with her relationship with Lucifer. Her distinctive gloves were gifted to her by Lucifer, and they seem to respect each other, with Justice having her arm around Lucifer's shoulder in the proper ending for the game, the friendliest interaction between two demons in the game. Justice may be named after the 8th tarot card of the same name, considering Judgement is also based off the 20th tarot card and how they're both High Prosecutors. Justice's gloves bear a resemblance to Ryu's gloves from the popular fighting game Street Fighter. She is the winner of the Helltaker Nendoroid Survey, with Cerberus being in second place, and Modeus being in third place.

Lucifer is the eighth demon encountered in Helltaker. She takes the role as the queen of Hell, and has the same title- "CEO of Hell." In Examtaker, which takes place much later on after the base game, Lucifer serves as a maid under Loremaster, having been usurped by her as the ruler of Hell. She is roughly ~9100 Years old.

Appearance

Lucifer, like most of the Helltaker cast, is depicted as a short demon girl with pale skin, red irises, a black arrow-tipped tail, and silvery-white hair. Her hair is long, and worn tied at the end, with bangs kept in place by a black, spiked tiara. Her horns are white and jagged, the former trait showing her incredibly old age. She has narrow eyes, underneath her left eye is a mole.

Lucifer's high status shows in her clothing. She wears a black suit with a red collared shirt underneath, complete with white gloves, a black tie and her Sigil[2] on her lapel. In the post game, she wears the same collared shirt, but rolled up, a black apron labeled SATAN, matching with the Helltaker's, and she puts her hair up in a messy bun.

Judgement is the final demon encountered in Helltaker, also serving as the final boss fight for the game. She is identified as the High Prosecutor of Hell.

Appearance

Judgement differs drastically compared to the other demons, lacking the typical gloves, red button-up shirt, and pants. Rather, she wears a suit jacket that's ripped to expose her stomach, and a bra that doesn't connect at the front, exposing her breasts to a degree. She wears a thick belt with a pentagram medallion on a chain attached to it, with only underwear rather than pants. She also has a arm band with the number 20 in roman (XX). The art book shows more detail to her character, revealing that she wears thigh high socks covered by metal armor on her calves and belts around her thighs, she also wears heels, similar to Lucifer. Personality

Judgement typically yells everything she says, showing a vivacity to her not seen in the other demons. She acts on her volition, ignoring pleas from other demons to spare the Helltaker, and evening ignoring Lucifer when told to stand down, showing a dedication to her role as High Prosecutor. Despite all of this, at the end of her boss fight, she admits to not wanting to punish the Helltaker, and seems to enjoy the compliments she receives from him, finally succumbing to him and joining his harem, showing a lighter side to her personality. This is further cemented in the art book where Vanripper states that she is the kindest of the demons, and her sadistic personality is simply a front for her role as High Prosecutor. Encounter

Unlike the other demons, the player does not have to complete a puzzle to reach Judgement, but rather a fast-paced, Undertale-reminiscent combat segment. Immediately after adding Lucifer to the harem, the player hears an unknown voice, upon where they reach a Bad Ending screen, where it can be assumed that Judgement killed the Helltaker. After this, it can also be assumed that he was revived by Judgement to continue the ritual.

Unusually, when met with a dialogue option, it doesn't matter what the player chooses, as all of them are correct. This could be a development choice so the player doesn't have to restart the combat segment due to an incorrect dialogue option. Trivia

The role of High Prosecutor is passed down, which is evident by Justice being the former High Prosecutor. Shown in the art book as well in her sprite, Judgement has armour on her forearms and calves, with built-in batons on her gauntlets. This could suggest Judgement serves a combat role in Hell, or it could be apart of her "shock-and-awe" tactic. Judgement has roman 20 (XX) on the arm band, which is a reference to 20th tarot card, Judgement Judgement is apparently a fallen angel, which was noted by Justice in one of the Helltaker comics, and would explain her inherent kindness. Upon beating the game for the first time, the "Skip Puzzle" option is replaced with "God Mode" for all subsequent playthroughs of the battle against Judgement. This makes the player invulnerable to her attacks, but touching the spikes at the bottom or top of the screen will still kill the player in one hit.
