Slaughter Demons are spawned via a '''very''' rare random event, in which a single demon arrives on-station. This event is only accessible to players with the "Slaughter Demon" option toggled on in Game Preferences.
There are a two ways a Slaughter Demon may enter the station to terrorize it. It can be summoned onto the overworld with a mystical summoning item by a [[Wizard]] foolish enough to do so, or through a [[Random Events#Slaughter Demon|Midround]] roll. Both options let [[Ghost|spirits]] take over the role of a blood thirsty spawn of Satan. "Demon" needs to be enabled in the Antagonists panel in order to get a chance to play as a Slaughter Demon.

As a Slaughter Demon, you are well suited to butchering the crew in melee combat with your pair of armblades and blood-based abilities, but you are far from invincible. In spite of their ferocious appearance, Slaughter Demons are glass cannons best suited for ambushes and surprise attacks, using their Blood Crawl to quickly ambush and kill a target, before retreating back into their blood pool.

Moving nearly instantaneously between areas and cracking skulls with a single punch leaves for a deadly combination that can be utilized better with these tips:
 
* The smallest drop of blood can be used to Blood Crawl. Phase out of paper cuts!
* Target crew with access to cleaning equipment. They are your number one threat that might leave you with no blood to phase in with, leaving you trapped until they miss a drop.
* Spread blood by dragging corpses before feasting on them. It will give a harder time for the crew to clean it all up before you appear again, giving you plenty of chances to ambush once more.
* Force close quarters battles. Due to your slow speed, you cannot dodge or go up to ranged attackers easily, leaving you vulnerable at range.
* You don't need to kill people to devour them, they just have to be unconscious!
* Steal hurt crew away from [[Medical]] teams. Lowering the amount of crew able to fight you benefits you greatly, so make sure to steal as many as you can!
* Attack at least one person before phasing out. The crew are more likely to target spools of blood you just used, so attacking will cause more to appear without letting that spot go to waste.
* Break lights and light sources. Demons possess night vision, meaning you should create darker areas to blind the mortals.

===General Tips===
* Prioritize weaponry that deals the most damage per hit. Demons are quick to hide after getting attacked, so you won't have a chance to give him hell if you need to unload a lot into him. Laser guns and proto pulse slugs are good to consider.
* Corner your targets. You do incredibly high damage in melee, but that won't help if your target has already made a run for it.
* Fight at a distance. The demon is only able to get you when you are at an arm's reach, so just never get into that range!
* Spread blood by stabbing a downed crewmember several times, then dragging them around. Having more points to bloodcrawl from is always helpful.
* Clean, clean, clean! Even if you aren't a Janitor, you will make a highly valuable asset in the battle against the demonic monster if you wipe down the blood he so desperately needs in order to appear.
* Even the smallest speck of blood or oil can be used to bloodcrawl.  
* Keep your friends close! Staying in a group will prevent you from getting snatched by a demon if you are to go down, while scaring him away due to the potential of massive damage dealt by the gathering.
* Make janitors a high-priority target. They can very easily remove your main means of transit around the station.
* Wear riot gear or other forms of anti-brute armor that will keep you safe from the demon's flesh tearing claws.
* Avoid ranged weapons. Your demonic armor can take a bit of punishment, but don't expect it to save you from an angry lethals-equipped Sec squad.
* As a [[Chemist]] or [[Scientist]], construct cleaning grenades to temporarily prevent the demon from using Blood Crawl or to clean a large area.
