Demonologist: How to Identify Every Type of Ghost
In Demonologist, ghosts can be identified by their behavior and the different types of evidence they leave. Their different evidence types are determined and collected using the many tools that you have available to you within the game. The tools available can be found here.
Iblis
One of the primary ways that you can tell the spirit is an Iblis is by its speech. When you are near an Iblis, it will likely talk to you and speak words that most other ghosts aren’t able to. However, the Iblis can always tell where its prey is, so if it hunts, it’s likely that you will not be able to hide or get away from it very easily. If you are hunted, note how fast the ghost is when it nears you. The Iblis will run if it is far from you but will slow down when it nears you.
The Iblis will appear on an ESG Device, as well as draw on an Easel Canvas and respond to you through the Spirit Box.
Deogen
The Deogen is a ghost that will only hunt one player at a time. If the Deogen has its sights set on you, it will likely not give up until it gets tired of the chase or catches up to you. If a Deogen is hunting you, the rest of your team will be safe from its attacks most of the time.
The Deogen will leave Ectoplasm Stains, Fingerprints, and it will appear on an ESG Device.
Agash
The Agash thrives in colder temperatures and, according to the in-game tablet, even feeds on the cold. Whenever an Agash is hunting you, you can see its breath. When you are in the room that the Agash is residing in, you will also see a very clear temperature drop.
The Agash will leaveย Ectoplasm Stains, createย Freezing Temperatures, and leaveย Fingerprints.
Shade
Shades are very well known for not wanting to be in direct light. If you are in a room where a Shade is residing, the lights will either be turned off or the lightbulbs will blow, leaving them unable to turn back on. However, a Shade will always be more aggressive in darker environments and weakened in the light.
The Shade will leaveย Ectoplasm Stains, give aย Spirit Box response, and leave anย Easelย Canvas drawing.
Onryo
Onryos tend to be fairly picky ghosts, choosing one person to avoid attacking and attack the others. If they choose someone to avoid attacking and there are others around that person, an Onryo will become very aggressive toward the others in the room. However, if they choose not to attack you, they will leave you unharmed throughout the duration of the haunt.
An Onryo will create a Level 5ย EMF reading, leaveย Fingerprints, and create anย Easel Canvas drawing.
Oni
An Oni is a very dangerous and very fast ghost. When an Oni gets near you, it can lower your Sanity very quickly.
An Oni will create a Level 5ย EMF reading, produceย Freezing Temperatures, and leaveย Fingerprints.
Thaye
A Thaye can appear to you as a child or an older ghost in appearance and voice. If a Thaye appears to you as a younger child, it will be very aggressive and fast. However, if they appear older, they will be much less aggressive and slow.
A Thaye will give aย Spirit Box response, leaveย Fingerprints, and create anย Easel Canvas drawing.
Raiju
A Raiju is a ghost that enjoys being alone. However, that also means that if you are alone, you will be a much easier target for a Raiju. If you stick in groups around a Raiju, you will be much safer.
A Raiju will leaveย Ectoplasm Stains, producesย Freezing Temperatures, and create an ESG Device reaction.
Mare
A Mare is a slightly more inactive ghost, but it does speak a lot more often than other ghosts do. The Mare is a pretty hard one to detect, but it doesn’t like to hunt when you are in a group.
A Mare will create a Level 5ย EMFย reading, produce Freezing Temperatures, and create anย Easel Canvas drawing.
Naamah
There is no information listed on the Naamah. However, the Naamah leavesย Ectoplasm Stains, creates anย Easel Canvas drawing, and produces a reaction on anย ESG Device.

Guipo

Revenant
The Revenant is one of the more dangerous ghosts since it will hunt whoever it chooses, regardless of the player’s Sanity. Since the ghost is so unpredictable, knowing how to protect yourself is difficult. However, if a Revenant stays calm rather than becoming aggressive, it is much easier to find them.
The Revenant producesย Freezing Temperatures, leavesย Fingerprints, and will create anย Easel Canvas drawing.
Poltergeist
Poltergeists are very prone to throwing objects around different rooms. It does this to lower your Sanity so it can hunt more quickly. The most active a Poltergeist is, the quicker your Sanity will dwindle. However, once everything in the area has been thrown, a Poltergeist will calm down.
A Poltergeist will respond to aย Spirit Box, leaveย Fingerprints, and create anย ESG Device reaction.
Jinn
Jinns are very active ghosts that hunt often. However, that isn’t always a bad thing. Since the Jinn is so active, it will be revealed quickly, and the haunt will not take long.
A Jinn will create a Level 5ย EFM reading, produceย Freezing Temperatures, and create anย ESG Device reaction.
Hantu
Hantu enjoy lowering your Sanity through your own mind with its words. If you hear a Hantu speaking to you, your Sanity will decrease quickly. The more a Hantu speaks to you, the easier of a target you will become. However, you can take Sanity Pills to slow the lowering of your Sanity in a Hantu’s presence.
A Hantu will respond to aย Spirit Box, produceย Freezing Temperatures, and create anย Easel Canvas drawing.
