List of Slayers characters
[1][2] Using powerful magic and swordsmanship, they battle difficult overreaching wizards, demons seeking to destroy the world, dark lords, and the occasional hapless gang of bandits.
Sometime later, he runs into and works with them, plus Amelia, while attempting to acquire the manuscript of the Claire Bible in possession of the demon-worshiping cult, with the hope it will help him turn back into human.
[3] Since he is part brow daemon, he is unable to cast black magic, as doing so would require him to call upon the power of another demonic being——which, in the Slayers universe, is akin to willing oneself out of existence.
Amelia is versed in the common clerical spells, and knows a bit of black and Shamanistic magic that she learned with her older sister, who may be Gracia, Naga the Serpent.
He explains that he willingly merged with the Shabranigdu fragment hidden inside him after being unable to get over Mileena's death and coming to hate the entire world; humans and demons alike.
He resembles a small stuffed animal rabbit with large ears that double as a set of functional arms used for casting spells, wielding swords, or gliding through the air.
Halciform, who also extended his life by consuming the demon Gio Gaia, is finally killed when Rubia (ルビア), the homunculus he created of the dead woman he loves, uses the Sword of Light on him.
Using a manuscript of the Claire Bible, they resurrect Zanaffar (ザナッファー, Zanaffā), the beast who destroyed Sairaag 120 years ago, with the goal of attacking Saillune, but are stopped by the main characters.
The cult is led by Klotz (クロツ, Kurotsu), who is ultimately killed by Zanaffar, and has many werebeasts as loyal members; most were dying mercenaries saved by being turned into chimeras.
Battle axe-wielding Duclis (デュクリス, Dukurisu), whom Lina speculates is a fusion between human and white tiger, wears an incomplete Zanaffar as anti-magic armor, but is killed by Gourry's Sword of Light.
Under Gaav's orders, Rashart becomes the head of the royal guard in the Kingdom of Dils and is tasked with forging an alliance with the dragons and elves, but the plan is foiled by Xellos.
Sherra turns a man into a dragon-sized mass of flesh with leg-like appendages after he grips the black sword, which is itself a demon she created named Dulgoffa (ドゥールゴーフ), and has it attack Bezeld.
This "hyperdemon" mass has ten spider-like legs, tentacles to suck the life force out of people, and extremely fast regenerative abilities, making any attacks against it useless.
In the fifteenth novel, it is revealed that Sherra's smile at death was because she identified Luke as a host of Shabranigdu when he grabbed Dulgoffa and was not consumed and passed this information on to Dynast.
Before Slayers began, Lina was part of exposing the Ruvinagald monarchy for conducting human experiments by forcing people, including children, into becoming hosts for demons.
After quickly defeating a half-demon Veisam, they fight Lavas, who has turned himself into a demonoid and wears magical clothing and accessories, making him stronger than most pure demons.
After her fiancé died, Bell married Kailus (カイラス), head of the local sorcerers' council, and sent her younger sister, Aria, to warn of an insurrection her new husband was planning.
Bell was given the demon sword Dulgoffa by Sherra and used her new powers to turn the members of Crimson Town's sorcerers' council into chimeras and start the insurrection in Kailus' name as revenge.
The heroes work together to defeat the demon lieutenant by having Memphys' Zanafa armor attach itself to him, sealing him off from the astral plane and his real body, and taking turns attacking, allowing Lina an opening to deal the final blow with her Ragna Blade.
In the fifteenth novel, it is revealed that Graushera was copying what Fibrizo had done 1,000 years prior; cause war and destruction in order to find and awaken a fragment of Shabranigdu hidden in someone's soul.
When he sees the cursed mass that Daymia was turned into and learns that they are fighting demons, Lantz flees back to Talim's house where he is seriously injured by his former colleague Rod (ロッド, Roddo), who has switched allegiance to Halciform simply so that he can duel Gourry.
Talim the Purple (紫のタリム, Murasaki no Tarimu) and Daymia the Blue (青のデイミア, Ao no Deimia) are the vice chairmen of Atlas City's sorcerers' council in the second novel.
It is a correctly made version of the Zanaffar anti-magic armor Lina previously fought; Memphys suspects that failure, and its different pronunciation and spelling, is due to humans' inferior magical abilities.
When Gravos loses control of Ragudo Mezegis is blasted away by a Dragon Slave, Jillas swears vengeance on the Slayers, and succeeds in stealing Gorun Nova from Gourry.
[7] Ruby-Eye Shabranigdu (赤眼の魔王シャブラニグドゥ, Rubī Ai Shaburanigudu, alternately "Shabranigdo"), also known as the Dark Lord, is a powerful being of evil, the ruler and strongest of the demons.
The Lord of Nightmares created the entire Slayers multiverse, including the futuristic galaxy portrayed in Lost Universe, and two other known worlds, the realms of Chaotic Blue and Death Fog.
The Lord of Nightmares may have done this simply because it wanted to watch gods, monsters, and mortals contend for amusement, a hypothesis adopted by Valgaav in Slayers TRY in his attempt to remake the world.
The Lord of Nightmares' only direct appearance is in the eighth novel, when Lina is forced into casting Giga Slave by Hellmaster Fibrizo, who wants her to lose control of it so it destroys the world.
Ceifeed dies in the process, but leaves behind four Dragon Lord avatars to continue his struggle: Aqualord Ragradia (水竜王ラグラディア, Akuarōdo Raguradia), Flarelord Vrabazard (火竜王ヴラバザード, Furearōdo Vurabazādo), Airlord Valwin (空竜王バールウィン, Earōdo Bāruuin), and Earthlord Rangort (地竜王ランゴート, Āsurōdo Rangōto).
The gods of the Black World aim to destroy him using the five weapons he created: Gorun Nova (the Sword of Light), Ragudo Mezegis, Nezzard, Bodigar, and Galvayra.
