Curse Demon enemy line

A Curse Demon as seen in Dark Dawn.

The Curse Demon, Mad Demon, and Fury Demon are enemies that are battled throughout Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. These monsters, resembling hefty demons with vaguely wolf-like faces and wings that wield a ball and chain, are palette swaps of each other that have differing levels of power and defense and are fought in different locations in the game. This enemy line appears to be a thematic fusion of the separate Red Demon and Aka Manah enemy lines from The Lost Age, featuring traits and abilities from both lines, as well as some shared Japanese names from both (and the "Mad Demon" English name from the Red Demon line).

In Golden Sun: Dark Dawn

Curse Demon

A Curse Demon (デーモン Demon) is a blue level 15 variant with violet wings and legs. It is fought in the Ouroboros.

While the Curse Demon falls short of being as durable as the Salamander or as fast as the Siren, it does have the highest offensive capability of the enemies fought in the Ouroboros. As such, they should be defeated first in any given battle, particularly with an offensive Jupiter Djinn to increase the chance of getting the highly desirable Water of Life.

A Curse Demon is especially likely to be affected by Stun-inducing effects. Its statistics are as follows:

Name	HP	PP	Attack	Defense	Agility	Luck
Curse Demon	202	40	156	34	67	25
Elemental Resistances and Levels			Exp	Coins	Item Dropped	Drop Rate
127 (Lv 3)   100 (Lv 2)   100 (Lv 2)   72 (Lv 2)			505	106	Water of Life	1/8

A Curse Demon uses the following battle commands with high intelligence:

Command	Chance to use	Elem. Stats used with *	Description
Attack	2/8 (25%)	--	Standard physical attack.
Demon Eye	2/8 (25%)	Level 3	Enemy ability that causes a pair of purple eyes to appear on-screen. Each party member has a chance to be afflicted with the Haunt status condition.
Vital Barrage	1/8 (12.5%)	100 Power Level 3	Enemy ability where the Curse Demon slams its ball and chain into a single Adept. Deals a Venus-aligned standard physical with the end result multiplied by 1.4, with a chance to lower the target's HP down to 1 if the target is not downed.
Stone Spire	1/8 (12.5%)	100 Power	Psynergy costing 22 PP that causes a group of five large stalactites to fall down from above onto the Adepts and shatter. Deals a Venus-aligned attack with 160 base damage that is spread out across 3 enemies with high damage distribution.
Mad Growth	1/8 (12.5%)	100 Power	Psynergy costing 10 PP that causes a moderately large mass of long spiked vines to sprout out of the ground and damage multiple Adepts. Deals a Venus-aligned attack with 60 base damage that is spread out across 3 enemies with high damage distribution.
Condemn	1/8 (12.5%)	Level 3	Psynergy costing 8 PP that projects an image of the Grim Reaper that approaches a targeted Adept and slashes once with its scythe. The targeted Adept may be instantly downed.

Mad Demon

A Mad Demon (マッドデーモン) is a light blue level 28 variant with blue wings and purple legs. It is fought in Belinsk Ruins.

Like the Curse Demon before it, the Mad Demon has the highest offensive capability of the enemies fought in Belinsk Ruins. It's pretty much the most durable enemy there as well, thus it is the "main" enemy to watch out for.

A Mad Demon is especially likely to be affected by Stun-inducing effects. Its statistics are as follows:

Name	HP	PP	Attack	Defense	Agility	Luck
Mad Demon	376	74	299	88	142	27
Elemental Resistances and Levels			Exp	Coins	Item Dropped	Drop Rate
127 (Lv 3)   100 (Lv 2)   100 (Lv 2)   72 (Lv 2)			2169	172	Mist Potion	1/32

A Mad Demon uses the following battle commands with high intelligence:

Command	Chance to use	Elem. Stats used with *	Description
Attack	3/8 (37.5%)	--	Standard physical attack.
Demon Eye	1/8 (1.25%)	Level 3	Enemy ability that causes a pair of purple eyes to appear on-screen. Each party member has a chance to be afflicted with the Haunt status condition.
Vital Barrage	1/8 (12.5%)	100 Power Level 3	Enemy ability where the Mad Demon slams its ball and chain into a single Adept. Deals a Venus-aligned standard physical with the end result multiplied by 1.4, with a chance to lower the target's HP down to 1 if the target is not downed.
Human Hunt	1/8 (12.5%)	--	Enemy ability where the Mad Demon slams its ball and chain into a single Adept multiple times. Deals a standard physical attack with a chance to instantly down the Adept. Reported in-game as "seething rage."
Grand Gaia	1/8 (12.5%)	100 Power	Psynergy costing 32 PP that strikes the party of Adepts with an eruption of earth-based energy and rocks from the ground. Deals a Venus-aligned attack with 200 base damage that is spread out across 5 enemies with high damage distribution.
Freeze Prism	1/8 (12.5%)	85 Power	Psynergy costing 31 PP that summons a massive storm of huge chunks of ice that shatters into the party of Adepts. Deals a Mercury-aligned attack with 190 base damage that is spread out across 5 enemies with high damage distribution.

Fury Demon

A Fury Demon (アークデーモン Arc Demon) is a grey level 44 variant with yellow wings and dark grey legs. It is fought in the Apollo Ascent.

Statistically, the Fury Demon outclasses the Death Scuttler and comes close to rivaling the Fenrir in every category (barring Defense, among which it has the lowest of). However, it isn't as big a damage dealer as its predecessors, with Megacool and Seething Rage (provided the instant death effect kicks in) being its strongest form of offense. When fighting the Fury Demon, it's worth trying to fell it with an offensive Jupiter Djinn to increase the chance of getting the extremely rare and valuable Gloria Helm.

A Fury Demon is especially likely to be affected by Stun-inducing effects. Its statistics are as follows:

Name	HP	PP	Attack	Defense	Agility	Luck
Fury Demon	594	108	455	169	238	28
Elemental Resistances and Levels			Exp	Coins	Item Dropped	Drop Rate
127 (Lv 3)   100 (Lv 2)   100 (Lv 2)   72 (Lv 2)			7448	223	Gloria Helm	1/128

A Fury Demon uses the following battle commands with high intelligence:

Command	Chance to use	Elem. Stats used with *	Description
Attack	3/8 (37.5%)	--	Standard physical attack.
Demon Eye	1/8 (1.25%)	Level 3	Enemy ability that causes a pair of purple eyes to appear on-screen. Each party member has a chance to be afflicted with the Haunt status condition.
Human Hunt	1/8 (12.5%)	--	Enemy ability where the Fury Demon slams its ball and chain into a single Adept multiple times. Deals a standard physical attack with a chance to instantly down the Adept. Reported in-game as "seething rage."

Psy Drain	1/8 (12.5%)	85 Power Level 2	Psynergy costing 0 PP that may hit the target's PP meter with a Jupiter-aligned attack with 15 base damage, restoring the user's PP by the amount of PP damage dealt.
Curse	1/8 (12.5%)	Level 3	Psynergy costing 6 PP that briefly generates a candle icon at the target Adept's position. The target has a chance of being afflicted with a 7-turn Death Curse ailment.
