“ | You don't know the depths to which humanity can sink, my young friend. But I do. Over the centuries, I've seen hundreds of horrors that would blast your soul! Come let me show you what mankind is really like. | „ |
Demona is the main antagonist in the TV series Gargoyles and a recurring enemy of the Manhattan clan.
She was voiced by Marina Sirtis who later on voiced Queen Bee in Young Justice.
Personality
“ | We must be united and strong. And willing to deal with the humans as they would deal with us! Goliath thinks we can hide amidst the humans like mice and hope for their understanding. This is not possible. | „ |
~ Demona to Brooklyn |
Having a deep hatred of humanity, many of her plans revolved around the extermination of the human race so that Gargoyles could live in peace (or simply to appease her thirst for vengeance). It is also noted that Demona hates humans as a way of dealing with the intense guilt she feels at having been a part of the events that led to the massacre of her clan (Her betrayal of the humans her clan guarded by night ultimately led to the slaughter of nearly all of them both gargoyle and human).
Her actions are also directly responsible for creating gargoyle killing hunters which drive her race close to extinction. For the next thousand years she ultimately double crosses every group she comes into contact with always ending up alone.

Trivia
- Although Xanatos acts as the main antagonist (having awakened the gargoyles), he never quite sinks to the depths Demona does when she turns her coat. Plus, she is the true main antagonist due to the fact that she had bigger plans than him and was far more dangerous.
