What makes certain demons the best in fiction?

It depends on various factors. A great emission fiction usually has a compelling plot, well-developed characters, and a unique style of storytelling.

One key factor is their unique abilities. For example, many elves in fantasy are known for their archery skills, like Legolas. Their physical prowess combined with their natural grace gives them an edge. Another aspect is their wisdom. Elves are often depicted as having a deep understanding of the world, having lived for a long time. This knowledge allows them to make better decisions and offer valuable advice.

Character development also plays a role. In 'The Wire', the cops are complex characters. They are not just one - dimensional good guys. They have flaws, they make mistakes, but they are also trying their best to clean up the streets. Their struggle against the drug - dealing underworld and the political corruption in the city makes them some of the best in terms of showing a realistic view of policing in a tough environment.

Loyalty is a big factor. Take the Stark brothers in 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. Robb and Jon, despite their different paths (Robb as a king and Jon in the Night's Watch), they remain loyal to their family in their own ways. Their bond is strong even though they are separated by distance and different duties.

Well, for me, it's their charisma. Vampires like Spike from 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' are so cool and edgy. He has this bad - boy charm that draws you in. His sarcastic remarks and his complex relationship with Buffy and Drusilla make him really interesting.

One factor is loyalty. For example, the March sisters in 'Little Women'. They are always there for each other, whether it's Meg helping Jo with her writing career, or Beth being the gentle soul that holds the family together. Their loyalty through good times and bad makes them great siblings in fiction.

Well, for starters, a great antagonist often has a clear motivation. Take Hannibal Lecter for example. His motivation to outwit and toy with his opponents, while also having his own set of twisted values, makes him a great antagonist. He's highly intelligent and that makes him all the more dangerous.

Unique appearance. For example, the Na'vi from 'Avatar'. Their blue - skinned, large - eyed look is very distinct. They also have a strong connection to their planet Pandora, which makes them interesting.

Another factor is the ability to create immersive worlds. Tolkien with 'The Lord of the Rings' is a prime example. He crafted an entire world of Middle - earth, complete with its own languages, cultures, and histories. This level of world - building draws readers in and makes them feel like they are part of the story.

Another aspect is their ability to inspire. Wonder Woman, for example, is a symbol of female empowerment. She has superhuman strength and abilities, but it's her moral compass and her desire to protect the innocent that really make her stand out. She gives hope to those who read or watch her story, especially young girls who can look up to her as a role model.
