7 Most Terrifying Demons On Charmed We Absolutely Loathe
Being the most powerful witches in the world might be a tough job since you have to deal with weirdos on a daily basis.
Throughout its eight-season run, Charmed has introduced a variety of demons that have sent shivers down our spines and instant hatred through our blood. From cunning manipulators to ruthless destroyers, here are the 7 most loathsome demons on the show.
1. The Source Of All Evil
The ultimate antagonist in the series, the Source is the most vicious and powerful entity in the Underworld, hell-bent on conquering the mortal realm.
His ability to manipulate others and to orchestrate intricate schemes makes him a formidable adversary for the Halliwell sisters, and his terrifying appearance makes him our worst nightmare.
2. Barbas
Fear is a powerful weapon, and Barbas is a master at wielding it.
As the Demon of Fear, he feeds on the terror of his victims, and his ability to exploit personal phobias and his ominous promises of future returns, even after multiple defeats, make him a haunting foe.
3. Gideon
Although not technically a demon, Gideon, an Elder with immense power, is one of the most annoying Halliwell villains, wreaking havoc on the family.
Gideon's most disturbing aspect is his deceptive appearance, seemingly friendly and trustworthy, but actually with sinister motives to turn Piper and Leo's firstborn, Wyatt, evil. Still waters do run deep with this one.
4. The Seer
Worse than Gideon, the Seer is a powerful demon with the ability to predict events and manipulate outcomes, weaving a web of deceit that has a profound effect on the sisters' lives.
After turning Cole into The Source, she then sets her sights on the Charmed sisters and even inherits The Source's powers in order to destroy them.
5. Shax
Shax's level of power or presence on screen is not really important, considering that he did one of the worst things in the series: the killing of Prue, the eldest Halliwell sister.
Despite his lesser power, his control over the wind wreaked havoc and eventually led to Prue's death, leaving the Halliwell sisters shaken and viewers terrified.
6. The Triad
A trio of high-ranking demons who act as advisors to The Source earns a place among the show's worst demons for their cold and calculated demeanor, their ability to manipulate events from the shadows, and their near-success in eliminating the sisters.
5 points for lack of effort, using Billie and Christy to do all the dirty work, and 10 points for being annoying.
7. Banshee
A supernatural creature in various mythologies, including Irish folklore, the Banshee is depicted in Charmed as a mystical being with distinctive white hair and a high-pitched scream.
Represented by former witches with broken hearts who have been transformed into demonic beings, Banshee's eerie scream and repulsive appearance make it one of the most terrifying demons in the series.
