Originally, the Infernal Demons act as Bayonetta's allies against the more powerful angels that impede her path to find out the truth of her past. They can summon whatever demon's body parts that are needed at the time, such as wings or even the limbs of the demons when attacking enemies in combat using Wicked Weaves and Infernal Weaves. Witches who make a pact with "contracted demons" often have distinct markers, such as the shadow of their patrons instead of their own, insect patterns showing up in certain actions and other motifs. While witches can summon most demons of their choosing, certain demons can enter into a pact with a particular witch to grant them incredible amounts of magic, knowledge, and power. Hints to organization are given, however, through Queen Sheba, Rodin, and the enigmatic demon type of Infernal God beings that are designated as gods of the underworld. As Inferno has no clear governance, order in Inferno is determined by level of power, and due to the setting's violent environment, demons are known to fight each other for dominance and/or territory. In contrast to their rivals in Paradiso, demons are autonomous and factionless, holding loyalty to none but their own interests. However, demons can free themselves of their physical bonds if the summoning is tampered, immediately rebelling and causing destruction after being freed. Demons are normally confined to Inferno, but can be summoned to other realms via a witch's power as their conduit, usually entering through their hair. The bodies can appear humanoid, such as Alraune and those personally contracted by witches, although are often more diverse, with some adopting bestial forms, such as Gomorrah, or inorganic shapes that resemble machines and torture devices. The beings of Inferno have monstrous appearances, though all seem to feature shared characteristics: purple-black coloration, skeletal features with sharp teeth, and a horn/spike motif.
