Authors Note: since I'm obviously stuck with my other story, I decided to go back in a few reviews of this one, mainly so I could post some new Demon species that I, along with a couple other people on this wonderful site, have thought up recently.

Hellfire Designs: American Demons x6.
The following creatures were discovered in the Carlsbad Caverns by the night watchman od the tourist sight.
Soul Snatcher: these are creatures are most easily described as what could be a cross between a Wraith and a Remnant, the body in a semi-humanoid form but consisting completely of blackish mist/smoke. These creatures wear cloaks to conceal their "bodies" from others, and have the unique ability to sap a small portion of an opponent's soul, and in doing so, gaining a bit of the opponent's powers and abilities (for example, if one were to absorb a bit of Alvin's soul, then the demon itself would be able to use Dragon Fire like him). One thing that sets them apart from the Wraiths is a pair of glowing eyes in the cloaks hood, the color a sickly yellow, and although there is no visible mouth to be seen, these monsters are known for a blood curdling screech they make before attacking. Although not very common, there are sometimes instances where the Soul Snatcher will unwittingly bind itself to the opponent by accident, in turn making them tamed creatures loyal to their opponent (this happens more often if the opponent is of Demon Tamer decent). Lastly, if these ghostly creatures are unable to take a portion of their opponent's soul, they will attack by means of hurling shadow at them, and in fact, the abilities these demons can copy are often used in combination with this form of shadow play. Like most demons, the Soul Snatchers can speak, though not in English, rather in an odd dialect that has yet to be fully studied, though it contains aspects of various ancient languages such as Sanskrit. The few English phrases that are often uttered by these brutes are anything they may have heard a human or other talking creature say, so they may say something that is completely irrelevant to the situation at hand and completely at random. Though not completely immortal, these creatures have a trait that can become quickly overwhelming, in that they can revive after thirty minutes from being "killed". Some of these demons may have been previously slain over a thousand times in its eternal lifespan.
Whispering Death: not to be confused for the Grim Reaper, these creatures are another of his attempts to make his land of the dead more secure. As with the Sluagh being made by tampering with a Hell Hound, the Whispering Death species were created by Death's tampering with a Hell Panther. The final creature was a success, rather than becoming a mutated version of its former self, the creature was a fully functional sentry feline, keeping a basic body shape of a Hell Panther, with the blood red armor scales being replaced with spikes all over the body, each sharp enough to cut diamonds and as strong as titanium, and also a pale gray color from being made in the land of the dead. The burning eyes are now replaced with similarly burning orbs of "shadow fire", which as it sounds, is literally a burning shadow, the flames a deep, almost black shade of purple. The claws and fangs were made ten times stronger than there demonic counterparts, and are now jagged as if made of solid amethyst, while the scythe-like blade on the tale was also changed into a more amethyst-like material, and also becoming a bit longer and ten times as sharp. Unlike the Hell Panthers, Whispering Deaths are an almost completely silent race of demi-demon, this being due to them being able to communicate to one another in a form of telepathic link that encompasses the entire species. Though they are covered in spikes, these weapons are normally hidden beneath a cloak of blackish-purple smoke, the cloud completely covering their bodies in such a way that they can be mistaken for normal black panthers. In this state they are mere sentinels, keeping a constant watch over whether mortal soul or one of the Wraiths in Death's servitude try to get out, or if anything tries to break in. in the instance of an attack/escape attempt in the underworld, these cloudy cloaks are evaporated and the true form described above goes on the attack. Another trait with these felines is that they are able to be captured relatively easily, though take months, if not years, to tame and train, this being due to them originally being under the Grim Reaper's servitude, but once tamed, these cats are just as loyal to their masters as they were for Death himself. It is suggested that, if these creatures are encountered by mortals or demon hunters alike, that you should try to get away without attracting attention to yourself, as killing these cats is not an option, an accidental trait these brutish cats got from Death was complete immortality, and at best can be either stunned or knocked out for a short time so that you can escape. Lastly, these cats are ten times stronger and faster than their hell born counterparts, and like their name suggest, are able to move in almost complete silence.
Blind Grinder: as the name implies, this species of demon is completely blind and is only able to track and hunt by means of an enhanced sense of smell and touch. These creatures are odd, as they only have a pair of arms, and nothing else to help them move, their legless torsos being constantly dragged along the ground as they move about (humorously leading some to refer to this species as "Scuttlebutts"). The rear end of this creature is covered in thick armor plates, mainly to protect itself from injury due to scrapes, which armor making a grinding noise as the monster drags itself about blindly. Although initially blind, these Blind Grinders can be giving the gift of sight by a symbiotic species of demon (which will be described later). Another odd quirk to the Scuttlebutts that the juveniles of the species have a set of arms and legs, the legs only there for the first few months after birth so that the armor on the rear can form properly, after this time, the legs will slowly weaken, and eventually fall off the torso.
Sight: these are a symbiotic species of demon most often found in an area populated by Scuttlebutts. They have only four spider-like legs and a pair of reptilian eyes at the front. They have a hollow cavity in their abdomens with a sharp beak inside it, and by means of a leaping motion at a target (usually a Scuttlebutt, but sometimes a human or other species), and literally attaching itself to the victim's head. Using the four limbs the grip onto the host, these creatures can actually bury their beaks through the Blind Grinder's skull, and into its brain, which then makes the symbiotic relationship begin, as the usually blind host is granted the gift of sight using the Sight's eyes, the spider-like demon is itself receiving it's side of the bargain by gaining nutrients from the host's blood stream. If a Sight were to attach itself to another species, such as a human, then the results would be different. Mainly the human host will lose all control of its body functions, and can therefore be declared technically dead, though the Sight will normally animate the corpse and use it to find a proper host, or if threatened in this state, actually attack the threat by means of slashing at it with claws formed from the bone of the fingers.
There you go, a few more demons for you guys to read about. And just so I don't forget, the Soul Snatcher was originally designed by WordNerb93 and the Whispering Death was originally designed by Kuro Rakka Shimo. Also, as some of you may have noticed, the last two demons in this update were infact based on pre-existing designs, the Blind Grinder or "Scuttlebutt" was based on a creature of the same name (Scuttlebutt) and design by Wayne Douglas Barlowe (author of "Expedition" and subsequently "Alien Planet"), while the Sight was based on the Headcrab from the popular Half Life videogame series. As such, the two creatures mentioned earlier belong to their respective creators.
And here's the question, sorry for not posting the answers in this, it is merely because I can't be bothered to do it this time…that and since my previous update was an authors note, I didn't post a question for it.
Anyway, here you go:
