Physical Appearance[]
In All Along the Watchtower, a single tempter demon was shown once. The demon in question had 4 sharp horns across his forehead and what might appear to be fangs. It is unknown how the tempter demon appeared like this, as it wasn't emphasized.
Powers & Abilities[]
- Super Strength - They were shown to maybe be stronger than an ordinary demon. The tempter demon that the Seraph, Castiel, encountered knocked him down to the floor with a single blow to the head without any visible effort.
- Basic Demon Physiology: Since they are a species of demons, it can be perceived that Tempter Demons also inherit the basic abilities and characteristics of an average demon, but it was not shown or emphasized. It is unknown if Tempter Demons can possess humans, as said demons appear to have their own corporeal form instead of a cloud of smoke.
Weaknesses[]
- Angel Blades - Because angel-killing bullets are made from angel blades.
- Angel-killing bullets - Tempter Demons can be killed with bullets made of angel blades.

Trivia[]
- They are the only known type of demons to have horns in the series. This is suggested to be because of the state of Apocalypse World.
- The demon crowned Prince of Hell from a non-canon novel, Belial was described as having a goat like appearance, so it's possible he had horns as well.
- They are the first known variant of a supernatural creature from the Apocalypse World, the second being the starved vampires from there.
- Both species also share the same fate, being extinguished by God during his rampage through the Multiverse.
- The Tempter demons appear somewhat similar to a Van-Tal from the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Although they only inherit the "horn" aspect.
- It is unknown how the Tempter demons inherited their appearance, as they aren't corporeal or physical beings. It also wasn't emphasized due to them not being shown a lot.[1]
