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 typically is involved with a deity and angels, and they typically wield 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] Variants include other monster hunters, such as the dragonslayer and the vampire hunter.
