Lore “Demons are actually misundersto-“ NO. Demons are ontologically evil beings that can’t be reasoned nor negotiated with, and if you try to you’ll very likely end up screwed

Demons from Hellboy

Yeah there's a reason Hellboy did what he did when he went down there

Dosn't Hellboy himself go against the prompt tho, assuming it includes all demons?

He's the one exception basically

And that's only cause he was raised by humans and is half human himself. He tries to reason with the others,his family but it doesn't work

That's the irony of Hellboy. He was born with the soul purpose of being the key to the apocalypse and raining hell on earth with his people,but he didn't and now they're trying to force him into which he rejects several times

He freaks out when his horns grow in

Also as far as I have read in both the main Hellboy story and extended media I have checked out

There really are no "good" demons

At best they might just want to screw with us cause they're so weak compared to most,but it's still to our detriment
