Ever since we were children, we were always taught to fear the devil.
It was so ingrained in us that adding horns to characters became a sure-fire way of letting us know who the villain is.
Of course, there are horned characters like Sully and Mike from Monsters Inc. that are actually good guys, but let’s not forget the likes of Malificent, Darth Maul, and Hela from Thor: Ragnarok.
Along the way, though, horns became a positive symbol of rebellion and freedom. For proof, look no further than the universal hand sign that rock and metal fans throw up every chance they get.
However you feel about horns, you can’t deny that Minecraft players know how to use them to make excellent skins.
If you’ve lived long enough, you’d know that a person wearing a suit has more devil-like qualities than someone dressed in rags.
Our collective consciousness of the devil as more of a power-hungry businessman than a red-skinned imp was also cemented in pop culture by shows like Reaper and movies like The Devil’s Advocate.
Having said that, this skin by Entity0815Skins may be the most accurate depiction of the devil himself in this list.
Despite how cool the whole devil-in-a-suit-thing is, nothing beats the classic form of a demon.
I’m talking about that red skin all over with the small horns and the pointed tail. It’s probably the first image that pops into anyone’s head when they hear the word “demon”.
Partyface1 did a fantastic job translating this look into Minecraft with this skin. Now all it needs is a pitchfork!
“Cute” and “Devil” are two words that shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath unless we’re talking about Jack-Jack Parr from The Incredibles.
However, that didn’t stop SunsetFireWolf from creating this brilliant skin.
This devil girl seems cute in a way that you’d maybe want to go out with her, but maybe only for one date because I wouldn’t want Satan as my father-in-law.
Nope, not even those blushing cheeks are worth an eternity of damnation.
Even though it looks like a Lego figure I would have loved as a child, I would really hate meeting this Demon Knight skin by DeadEndTheUnicat in person.
Dressed in a heavy suit of armor with blazing red eyes, this knight would crush me using his stare alone.
Become the Underworld’s fiercest soldier with this skin!
If a demon somehow became a world-famous rapper, he would probably look like this skin by LordRassilon.
Decked out in a white long-sleeve, jeans, skate shoes, and gold horns, you could easily picture him spitting rhymes about codeine in a Lyrical Lemonade music video.
Soul fire is very helpful for repelling Piglins in the Nether. Apparently, the blue-colored flame makes for great hair dye as well.
Shikova5499 contrasts the luminous blue hair of this skin with a spare black dress, which tells us that this skin probably listens to a lot of goth and post-punk.
Either that, or she’s a metalhead and Spiritbox is her jam.
Sleep paralysis demons come in many forms for different people.
I guess the one that Uglycrybaby sees looks like a back-up dancer in a Billie Eilish video.
I’m not trying to minimize their terror though, because even if this skin can dish out sick moves, I really don’t want to get a private concert from her in the middle of the night.
More than a decade later, and we’re still talking about Skyrim. How could we not, though? It’s the best open-world game ever!
I don’t care if there are objectively bigger and better open-world games out there, because this fifth installment to The Elder Scrolls will forever be my favorite, with Minecraft being the second.
Now I can play both of my favorites (sort of) thanks to this skin by Troy2005.
You can’t talk about horns without bringing up Hellboy!
Summoned by occultists in an effort to win World War II, he instead served the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (B.P.R.D) to fight all sorts of baddies, including the very same monsters who brought him to Earth.
He actually broke his horns off to reject his devilish nature, but that doesn’t stop him from being one of the most iconic horned characters ever.
What better way to end this list than the God of Mischief himself?
Loki has gone through so many ups and downs throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe that it’s almost impossible to predict his next move.
Now that the Loki series has an alternate version of him travelling across timelines, it looks like we’ll never see the end of Thor’s prodigal brother.
