They are all "super powerful mystical entities" of whatever sort. At least in my campaign the inhabitants of the world are pretty unclear on these kinds of distinctions. Knowledge of other planes of existence etc is a pretty rare commodity. Different types of entities go by all sorts of names and there is plenty of confusing misinformation and partial knowledge. One source might call Rorn an "Elder God" and another might call him a "Demon". Neither may be precisely correct but they aren't exactly WRONG from the perspective of mere mortals either. A high level wizard or religious expert might well understand the different to whatever degree it matters but to the vast majority of inhabitants of the world they are all just powerful beings, bad, good, or indifferent.I don't see where it makes any real difference in play in other words if Demogorgon is a demon or an evil god. He's a bad guy. He does bad things. You want to stop him and maybe lop his head off if you can. It might come into the plot that you need some specific potency against demons to defeat him and that same magic isn't going to affect an Arch Fey but the characters can learn and research that stuff. It is all just labels and shouldn't be the focus of things in general except as much as it adds interest to the background.</blockquote>
