Inferno faction discussion.

I remember looking at Inferno in Heroes 3 and immediately understanding that they were demons. Specifically, biblical demons, not the generic ones that are churned out in every fantasy setting. And they inspire more fear. It's much scarier to face the Lord of the Pit from Heroes 3 than any demon from Heroes 5.

Are the Lords of the Pit the ones who scratched their behinds when you hovered the cursor over them? I don't know, they never instilled fear in me; rather, they seemed like somewhat comical creatures.

However, the generally accepted sign of "demonicity" is probably the presence of fire and horns, rather than some vague criteria for matching the Bible or other games. In this sense, the demons from the 6th part became less canonical, although I wouldn't say that they lost much because of it. But that's just my opinion.
