The Devil (Creepypasta)

"What's that? You want out ALREADY? WHAT an imagination you must have!"

- The Devil

Perhaps somewhat inevitably, the Devil is a major antagonist in the Creepypasta forums.

He appears occasionally, seldom being seen, but controlling the story, manipulating events. Said to be the classic Christian Devil, he is able to contact greedy or foolish humans via a special ritual involving mirrors.

He uses these mirrors as portals to speak with humans and to tempt them into gaining Satanic powers.

He will sometimes ask for a Faustian deal, being greedy - but only if the human brings it up in talk.

The Devil as shown in Creepypasta is terrifying. He is sly, clever, arrogant yet not foolish, unlike many popular villains. He is always one step ahead and knows human psychology. He plays on human fear, like in the ritual he shows corpses watching the human and dead eyes on their backs. The Devil will try anything to escape Hell - he will try and look frightened and point behind the human, only to have him vanish when they have looked round. The Devil at this point has possessed the human and will use their body to commit all sorts of terrible crimes in the hours before three and six in the morning. The Devil has his own favourite tramping ground in North Carolina where he meditates in the pre-dawn hours and strenghtens his powers.
