The '''Archdemon''' is a monster in the series.

Archdemons are large, bulky bipedal demons with pinkish-purple skin, a large pair of wings on their back, a pair of horns on their heads, and a pointy tail. It wears a pair of green gloves and boots and wields a pitchfork. These monsters are usually a force to be reckoned with; capable of dealing heavy physical hits, but also casting advanced offensive magics to destroy its opponents. It has a particular affinity for explosive magic, being commonly associated with the spell '''[[Kaboom]]'''. In the monster descriptions of the archdemon from various games, it is stated that the [[minidemon|minidemons]] are the juvenile forms of archdemons even though, with the exception of {{V}}, their colours do not match up. The [[imp]], however, has a purple colour scheme, which is used by the minidemon in ''V''.
