Demon
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Demon was a generic term for a malevolent supernatural creature, which was used to refer to creatures in a number of cultures' mythologies. Worlds which had some form of demon myth included Somov Rit (the Swamp Demon)[1] and Ootoola[2]. It is unknown if they were somewhat related to the mythological Hell.
In a thousand of different myths from various human subcultures, demons sported pointed ears and horns (just like the Dark Side entity Smoke Demon), which explains the feeling of discomfort most humans experienced when meeting a Devaronian[2][3].
Many creatures or species were designated as "demon" as well, in an analogy comparing their dangerous nature to that of a demon. Among these were the demonsquid, the Force Demon, the Ice Demon, the Nightmare Demon and the Maelibus. They were also referred to through the name of the volcanic planet Demonsgate. Don-Wan Kihotay considered the Behemoth from the World Below to be a demon.
