Aside from the Dark Blood family, there are three different types of demons that roam the demonic realm. Most demons are unruly and quick to fight. At some point in time they were united under a monarchy, but that fell apart when Blethinette and Auronmar started civil war.
Lower Level Demons
These demons make up the majority of the demonic population. They mostly appear as a grotesque combination of animal and human, leaning more towards the animal side. The type of weapons at their disposal Depends on what animal, insect, fish, etc. they are. Even if they possess formidable claws or teeth, some tend to carry blunt or crude weapons since these types of demons do not have the capability of using Magika.
Lowers have more of a primal sense than anything else. Even though they have no need to feed, they enjoy attacking and at times devouring other demons. Humans are a special prey to them. They are attracted to them not so much because of human flesh, but because of the belief that humans are manifestations from the demonic land itself. Since demons literally feed off of Demon World, they believe eating a human will make them stronger.
Despite their primitive thinking and actions, it is possible to rally these demons under a cause. Even if they refuse, they are weak to any Magika and can be easily manipulated or killed by it.

Upper Level Demons
Unlike the Lowers, Upper demons appear more human than animal. Their bodies are usually in the familiar shape of a human body, but at times that can be the only human characteristic they may possess.
As expected, these demons are stronger and faster than Lower level ones. They are also capable of using Magika, but those that do usually only have access to the lower levels of it. It is possible for an Upper to use mid level Magika, but it is quite rare. Most of these demons enjoy carrying sharpened weapons since more than likely, they were not blessed with the Mahou gift.
Uppers can be rallied with greater success than Lowers since their drive isn't as tunnel--visioned as the Lowers.

Superior Level Demons
Superior level demons are rare in the demonic population; there are usually one to three individuals alive to each Magika type. These demons have the most likeness to the human forms. Usually the only demonic properties they have are fangs, claws, and odd hair and/or eye colors. Trained since a young age, Superiors usually have a well toned body.
All Superiors are blessed with top tier Magika, hence their name. The weapons they carry are of top quality as well and may hold a Spirit. These demons are the only ones capable of handling Spiritual weapons since it requires a powerful demeanor and control over Magika to control the power Spirits bestow upon their masters. It is usually at the decision of the demon to accept a Spirit or not.
The Superiors are capable of rational thought and don't submit to senseless hunger or slaughter unless provoked in some way.

The Dark Bloods
The Dark Bloods are the most powerful of all. They are Magika omnipotent, meaning they have access to all tiers of Mahou. Only monarchy--the king, queen, and their legitimate children--have access to such powers. When they receive the Dark Blood power, all the branches of Magika are open to them, but it is up to the users to manage and expand their capability and understanding of it.
It is unknown what these demons specifically go through to obtain such powers, but it is believed they are not born with it but rather bestowed with it through some way unknown to anyone but the Dark Bloods.
