So you're being attacked by The Legions of Hell. They're enslaving your innocents, terrorizing the citizens, and generally wreaking havoc. Who You Gonna Call? This guy. Experienced and equipped with Implausible Fencing Powers, Improbable Aiming Skills (probably with Depleted Phlebotinum Shells), some flavor of magic, demolitions expertise, or all of the above, this character tends to be Weak, but Skilled—relative to their prey, that is. They can come in several varieties (not necessarily mutually exclusive), including: A Hunter who hunts down and kills demons for revenge or other personal reasons. A Chosen One who kills demons because of destiny. A Demon or Half-Demon Hunter of Their Own Kind. Someone who made a Deal with the Devil and has decided to pull a Faustian Rebellion. A protector of the helpless. Someone only interested in money who thus offers their services for a price. A Church Militant, Warrior Monk, Paladin, or the like on a Mission from God who uses a cross or holy water (among other assorted Holy Hand Grenades) to exorcise their enemy. A descendant/member of a family or clan dedicated to fighting them. Someone whose job description doesn't include Demon Slaying, but finds themselves having to step up and kick demon ass anyway. They're frequently also an Occult Detective or some kind of mercenary. How Demon Slayers generally operate and go about their business (as well as whether or not they are even justified in doing this or are committing Van Helsing Hate Crimes) depends a great deal upon what form demons generally take in the setting in question. Some keep a Masquerade, hiding the existence of Hell and its denizens from outsiders, while others prefer a more open and direct approach. Also keep in mind that He Who Fights Monsters is at risk of happening here. |

Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell features Johnny Gat and Kinzie Kensington breaking into Hell after Satan kidnaps the Boss to force them to marry his daughter and lead his armies into Heaven. Johnny openly declares that he's going to "shoot the Devil in the face", but in order to do that, he and Kinzie have to get Satan's attention first. And the best way to do that is to kill a few of his servants. And Johnny's really good at that. | |

Dragon Age: Grey Wardens are a variation. In their day-to-day work, they mostly kill darkspawn, who are closer to orcs than anything else. However, during a Blight, the darkspawn invade the surface en masse, led by an entity known as an Archdemon - and the Wardens are the only people capable of permanently killing such a beast. (Confusingly, Archdemons are not counted as demons or dragons mechanically, but that name is still right there.) In Dragon Age: Origins, part of the job description for a Templar is to take out demons. Their primary job is policing mages to prevent the demons from crossing into the mortal world in the first place and possibly turning the mage into an abomination, but when things go wrong they're on hand to clean up. The player characters in both games doesn't have this as one of their primary jobs, but they'll probably take out a good hundred or so demons and demon-possessed mages in the course of a single game. Templars in Dragon Age II function mostly as mage killers, but they also have bonuses to damage while fighting demons, likely because blood mages will often have demons in their service. This is part of the Inquisition's job in Dragon Age: Inquisition, because there are several holes in the fabric of reality which separates the waking world from the dream world populated by demons and spirits. Demons are leaking into the world all over the place, and the other factions which would be able to deal with it are rather tied up with their own (related) problems, so it's sort of up to the player character and their pals. |

Sluggy Freelance: Parodied with Steve Uozin, a professional demon hunter who's also a parody of Steve Irwin. While he can be a real pain to the demons in an annoying sort of way, when Torg hires him to protect him from the Dimension of Pain demon coming to kill him next Halloween, it turns out he only wants to tag the demon to "follow his migration". He becomes a demon himself and goes on to humiliate the demons in their own dimension. Torg during "That Which Redeems", helped by his discovering that his old memento sword can be Powered by a Forsaken Child to gain the cutting power of a lightsaber and enough magic power to kill a god. He tries organizing a larger La Résistance of demon fighters, but since the only people he has to work with come from the Dimension of Lame... |

In A Certain Magical Index, this trope is referenced by "The One Who Purifies Gods and Slays Demons'', an epithet applied to main character Touma. He has yet to directly fight any demons, let alone kill them, but his magic-negating power would presumably be effective against them. Interestingly, it's implied that the true meaning of this name may not be as a killer of demons. The gods of the setting claim that it represents his ability to understand gods by talking to them. Touma has managed to talk gods into a Heel–Face Turn, raising the possibility that this is how he is intended to defeat demons as well. | |

Dallas: Implied to have happened in the TV movie sequels (and later the 2012 series, when the sequels were retconned) when J.R. was taunted by a demonic spirit, Adam, to follow through with a planned suicide in the original series' finale, "Condundrum." To wit: J.R. — after having viewed an It’s A Wonderful Life-style alternate reality with Adam (who reveals his true self only at the end) — is hallucinating and sees Adam, clad in a red devil's suit, in the mirror; shortly afterward, Adam screams, "DO IT!!!!" and there is a gunshot. In the later follow-ups, it is revealed J.R. fired the gun in the mirror, thus killing Adam. | |

Over in Dark Souls, the demon-slaying isn't your main job, but there are enough of them between you and your actual objectives that you'll end up taking a few demon heads anyway; in Dark Souls, the very first boss is a demon. | |

Since they are the God's own champions, the heroes of Darklands are supposed to destroy hell's spawn whenever they encounter it. The easiest way to do it is to find a Satanic village, defeat its inhabitants and find their unholy altar. Ironically, summoning the demon may be even harder than actually defeating it, especially when you party has low non-combat skills. | |

Both the Old and New versions of Worlds of Darkness have Hunters (detailed in The Reckoning and The Vigil respectively), humans with supernatural abilities to fight the PCs from the other games. Groups that specialize on demons: The Malleus Maleficarum, in addition to other "unholy" beings like vampires and witches. The Knights of St. Adrian, a private security firm that gets powers from the forces of Heaven. Utopia Now, libertarian Silicon Valley start-up geniuses out to fight demonically-influenced corporations through a combination of exorcism and hostile buyouts, so that they can build their own Operation Atlantis. |

Most non-Persona Shin Megami Tensei games have the main characters act as this, while allying with a handful of 6-12. Though only one group actually does so for a living. Atlus has registered a "Devil Hunter" trademark. One can only assume it will involve this trope. |

Blue Exorcist is basically this, only with exorcists. Most of them fall under a job or family business, with a few for personal reasons. Rin falls under personal reasons and Hunter of His Own Kind due to his Half-Human Hybrid status. He's not the only one there, as it's mentioned that there are other half-demons out there who work as exorcists. Judging by what we know from Rin, the half-demons serving as Exorcists or otherwise getting involved in the war against demons isn't far-fetched; they naturally can see demons, due to their bloodline, while others have to have a masho (spirit wound) inflicted to see them. |

Many, many government-employed wych-hunters (despite the name, they hunt gribblies (wych-kin), not witches) in The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray, and for most of the reasons above.

The Church of the Silver Flame in Eberron have their entire religion built around this. When they are not a Corrupt Church or Knight Templars, they do this, and they do it fairly well, having developed a few unique tricks like Silver Flame Exorcists and Silver Pyromancers. Aside from evil outsiders, they also hunt undead and lycanthropes (and not all of the latter are really evil, which has earned them a bit of a bad rep among them and their Shifter cousins). The Druidic Sect of the Gatekeepers have been doing it for longer (not saying much, as the Silver Flame as an independent religion isn't very old), focusing more on Eldritch Abominations from Xoriat than actual demons, however. The members of The Chamber are also prone to this. However, it's worth noting that the Chamber is an organization composed entirely of dragons. The Giants of Xen'drik also, presumably, had something similar to tackle Quori possession, but since their solution to the Quori problem all but annihilated their own civilization, no one's entirely sure anymore. |

Devil-Slayer, a member of The Defenders, is the Faustian Rebellion type. Eric Payne was a an ex-soldier turned hitman. He was recruited by the hybrid demon-woman Vera Gemini and her Cult of the Harvesters of Eyes, serving as their Reaper of Souls and Agent of Death (assassin). The Cult honed Payne's psychic powers and gave him his Shadow-Cloak, but he quit upon learning that they wished to bring about Xenogenesis, restoring to prominence an ancient demon race that once ruled the Earth. Taking the name "Devil-Slayer," he dedicated himself to fighting demons. | |

The Knights of the Cross in The Dresden Files will happily do good and kick evil supernatural butt for their fellow man in general, but their specific mission is to fight against and if possible redeem the members of the Order of the Blackened Denarius — people possessed by literal fallen angels. (It's not entirely clear what the precise relationship between those and other entities more commonly labeled "demons" in the setting may be, but the Fallen seem to be definitely associated with Hell in some form.) | |

This pops up occasionally in Dog Days, although demon sealing is far more common since demons are normally spirits who have been corrupted and need to be slowly purified. It's also revealed in the third season that the primary purpose behind the Friendly Wars is to make sure that the various kingdoms always have an army ready in the event of a massive demon attack. | |

Ash Williams of the Evil Dead universe has the unenviable task of battling demon-possessed undead and not a few demons as well, being that he was the one who accidentally unleashed them upon the world through mishandling of a certain Artifact of Doom. | |

Inuyasha: Sango, and her entire village, specialize in demon (what the English localizations call Youkai) slaying. They fit into the demonic protector and mercenary type, using entirely physical methods, such as weapons (generally made from demons) and poison. Itinerant monks like Miroku, as well as shrine maidens and priestesses like Kikyo and Kaede, also perform a good number of exorcisms, which may range from waving ofuda at an incorporeal spirit to beating monsters with a ceremonial staff. |

Ryudo's party in Grandia II are de facto demon hunters, tapped by the Church of Granas to scour the world for pieces of the dark god Valmar. Not all of the characters are in the employ of the church, however; Mareg, for instance, mistakes Ryudo for his brother Melfice, a demonic swordsman who razed Mareg's home village. | |

The titular characters in Claymore are an entire organization that exists purely to hunt down and destroy demons preying on humanity, provided the side that's being preyed on requests their aid and pays an adequate fee afterwards. If they don't... It's only made worse that the central organization of the Claymores are the ones creating the demons as an experimental weapon. The Claymores are actually part of a centuries long project to create the ultimate dragon slayers. |

In The Pardoner's Tale the main characters don't slay demons; they have a method that traps demons in inescapable steel pellets. Since the demons don't need to eat, sleep, or excrete, this may actually be worse than death.description. | |

They travel Tamriel to deal with various supernatural threats including Daedra, as well as vampires, lycanthropes, undead, and others.

Solomon Kane in the Robert E. Howard book series. If he counts, then so do King Kull of Atlantis and Conan of Cimmeria. None of them slay demons as their day job, but have been forced to the task by the circumstances more than once in their careers. Solomon Kane fights evil in general and is happy to kill bandits and pirates. It's just that he keeps running into supernatural monsters. Conan kills whoever has the most loot. |

In Dragon Age: Origins, part of the job description for a Templar is to take out demons. Their primary job is policing mages to prevent the demons from crossing into the mortal world in the first place and possibly turning the mage into an abomination, but when things go wrong they're on hand to clean up. The player characters in both games doesn't have this as one of their primary jobs, but they'll probably take out a good hundred or so demons and demon-possessed mages in the course of a single game. | |

In Pathfinder, there are several classes that can be tooled specifically for this, such as Rangers, Inquisitors, and Paladins. Of course, any character class can have Demon Slaying as a job as far as roleplay is concerned, but these three classes are highly conducive to the job as far as class mechanics are concerned. | |

Demons and devils are among the most powerful enemies that Dungeons & Dragons Player Characters can face, and high-level adventures or certain modules such as Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus will often have PCs heading To Hell and Back, usually to destroy a particularly powerful demon lord such as Orcus. The Knight of the Chalice is a Prestige Class that is dedicated to fighting demons and devils. Many characters who take this class are some combination of ranger and either cleric or paladin. Some subclasses are built around the concept, namely Horizon Walker Rangers, Path of the Zealot Barbarians, and Oath of the Watcher Paladins. The Church of the Silver Flame in Eberron have their entire religion built around this. When they are not a Corrupt Church or Knight Templars, they do this, and they do it fairly well, having developed a few unique tricks like Silver Flame Exorcists and Silver Pyromancers. Aside from evil outsiders, they also hunt undead and lycanthropes (and not all of the latter are really evil, which has earned them a bit of a bad rep among them and their Shifter cousins). The Druidic Sect of the Gatekeepers have been doing it for longer (not saying much, as the Silver Flame as an independent religion isn't very old), focusing more on Eldritch Abominations from Xoriat than actual demons, however. The members of The Chamber are also prone to this. However, it's worth noting that the Chamber is an organization composed entirely of dragons. The Giants of Xen'drik also, presumably, had something similar to tackle Quori possession, but since their solution to the Quori problem all but annihilated their own civilization, no one's entirely sure anymore. Raziel is the most warlike of the Celestial Hebdomad, and is Heaven's most prominent fiend slayer. His Fists, the clerics and paladins who are dedicated to him, are likewise dedicated to kicking infernal and abyssal ass. |

The Jackie Chan Adventures fic The Ultimate Evil introduces as one of the Original Characters a demon hunter named Nataline Homato. She's a member of a Japanese family that has been hunting down demons since the days of Medieval Japan, and she's described as Buffy the Vampire Slayer's long lost cousin. She takes interest in the Chan Clan's encounters with the Demon Sorcerers and joins up to help stop them after she attempts to slay the Water Demon Bai Tza. The Demon World part turns her into a Dead Person On Display as a warning against attempting to be a demon slayer in that world, which is now ruled by demons. | |

Guts in Berserk. As the Black Swordsman, his role fits squarely into the vengeful hunter mode, thanks to him being madder than hell about the events of the Eclipse, and the actions of Griffith in particular. Eventually, he stops actively seeking out Apostles to kill in order to focus on healing Casca's insanity, but still runs into them, largely because of the Brands of Sacrifice borne by both of them. | |

The protagonist is the latest one of these, a teenage girl who is greatly relieved to learn that her restlessness, visions and instincts for violence aren't signs of insanity. While there are human sorcerers and undead to deal with, demon-slaying is essentially the day job. | |

Inverted in Bayonetta where the title character kills angels instead of demons. Is it ironic that her game, Ōkami, and the first Devil May Cry were all made by the same guy, Hideki Kamiya? Played straight in Bayonetta 2 when Gomorrah, one of the demons that Bayonetta uses to finish off angels, turns on her and she has to put him down. She then has to penetrate into the heart of Inferno in order to save Jeanne, who saved her from the aforementioned demon and got Dragged Off to Hell, before her soul is consumed forever. |

Kill Six Billion Demons was originally about The Hero Allison becoming this, hence the title. After being rebooted into its current form the title is more of an Artifact Title (it is the true name of The Chosen One), with said chosen one (still Allison) to date having slain exactly one demon (mostly by accident) and dated a second one. | |

The Elder Scrolls: In Morrowind, this is one of the duties of the Ordinators, the elite Church Police of the Tribunal Temple. They keep Morrowind safe from all manner of abominations, including lesser Daedra and Daedra worshipers. (Given their Knight Templar tendencies, their definition of "abomination" is quite broad...) In Oblivion, the Player Character essentially becomes famous for this. Throughout the main quest (with many, many more optional), you'll close several Gates of Oblivion by stepping through, killing your way through lots of Daedra, and seizing the Sigil Stones used to power the gates. In Skyrim, the Vigil of Stendarr formed in response to the events of the previous game. They travel Tamriel to deal with various supernatural threats including Daedra, as well as vampires, lycanthropes, undead, and others. In the Dawnguard DLC, the Vigil's Skyrim headquarters is sacked by the Volkihar vampire clan, who serve as the primary antagonists in the DLC if you choose to join the titular Dawnguard. |

Dante of Devil May Cry. He mostly fits into the mercenary type. As a half-demon, he also happens to be a Hunter of His Own Kind. Nero as well in the fourth game. By the sequel he's opened his own wing of Dante's eponymous devil hunting business that he operates out of a van. | |

Fairy Tail: After the Dragon Slayers and the God Slayers, we learn of a new type, Demon Slayers (Devil Slayers in Japanese), which functions mostly the same way, except against demons. The only drawback is that those who use this magic too much will end up losing their minds and humanity, becoming no different from the demons they hunt. Ironically enough, the first known user of this type of magic happens to be a member of a guild composed almost entirely of demons. Though it turns out he didn't exactly join them of his own free will, what with being a reanimated corpse brought back by one of them For Science!, and he always intended to try and destroy them from within alongside himself due to his hatred for them killing his friends and loved ones. When he learns that one of his loved ones (i.e. his son and major character Gray Fullbuster) is still alive, he goes the Suicide by Cop route and passes on the magic to him. Gray in turn becomes obsessed with destroying demons for ruining his life and killing so many of his loved ones, which becomes a bit of a problem when it turns out that the biggest, baddest demon of them all is his best friend and rival Natsu Dragneel. | |

The Inquisition of Warhammer 40,000 has the Ordo Malleus, an entire branch of investigators dedicated to finding and rooting out daemonic influences. Most of their agents are a mixture of State Sec and holy warrior, but they can also call upon a specialist Space Marine chapter for aid: the Grey Knights. These guys are considered badasses even by other Space Marines, armed and armored with consecrated wargear and protected by formidable psychic powers that make them extremely good at what they do. Even the less experienced ones kick serious ass. The more veteran ones tend to turn up wearing suits of armour that can endure being stomped by a Humongous Mecha, fitted with equipment like flamethrowers that burn souls. The Tyranids, of all species, have a dedicated daemon-slaying force, identified as Hive Fleet Kronos. Rather than using dedicated anti-psyker weaponry to fight daemons, Hive Fleet Kronos focuses on abnormally-boosting their Shadow in the Warp effect to weaken daemons and other Warp monsters across the entire star system, and then drops Tyranid bioforms specializing in extreme long-ranged attacks. They bomb the crap out of the daemonic hordes from long range rather that fight them in melee where the daemons have the advantage, and once the warp-spawned monsters are destroyed, they consume the rest of the planet. |

Dwarf Daemon Slayers in Warhammer. In a twist, Daemon Slayers aren't in it for any greater or more noble purposes beyond the purely personal: if you are a daemon slayer, that means you've already tried to meet your end in glorious battle against trolls and giants...And failed. Daemons and Dragons are pretty much all that's left to challenge you, and dragons in the Warhammer setting are rare. | |

Not surprisingly, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba features this. The "demons" in question are actually Oni (and they're referred to as such in Japanese), while being portrayed as having a lot in common with vampires—violent, bloodthirsty, having super-strength and super-healing (but also extreme vulnerability to sunlight) who wander around killing indiscriminately, sometimes converting victims with their corrupted blood. A secretive organization of hunters use their technically-not-superhuman sword skills to keep the demon population under control. An unidentified demon massacres main character Tanjiro's family and converts his sister Nezuko, but she retains some of her humanity, so he sets out to become a demon-slayer both for revenge and to find a way to cure her. | |

The protagonist of the Doom games, affectionately nicknamed Doomguy. As a Space Marine, killing demons wasn't exactly in this guy's original job description, but when the monsters from hell go on the loose, it's up to him to blast them right back where they came from with a heaping helping of serious firepower. In DOOM (2016), it has become his job description: the Doom Slayer is the Sole Survivor of a civilization destroyed by the demons and absorbed into Hell, and madder than all hell about it, to the point of going on an endless Roaring Rampage of Revenge through Hell itself. Because of this, the demons almost all fear him above anything else. "Doom Slayer" is the name they gave him in awe and terror of the slaughter he caused among them. DOOM Eternal goes on to state that the Slayer is actually the original Doomguy who after the events of the original games was taken to said alien civilization, rose from a gladiator to a warrior-king, was empowered into a demigod then got trapped in hell again. | |

In Constantine (2005), based ever-so-lightly on the Hellblazer comics, the titular character hunts down demonic "halfbreeds" who violate the Balance and sends them back to Hell. In the comic, he's more of a street magician who basically fights anyone who pisses him off or helps people who come to him (if he doesn't laugh them away). See Trenchcoat Brigade. | |
