In "Over My Dead Body," all demons are not born from nothing; they arise from evident reasons.
Although demons and ghosts are often mentioned together in the game, there actually are slight differences among them, forming the game's monster system.
Demons are specifically referred to animals and plants mutated by Spiritual Energy, such as 'Scavenging Earth Wolf,' 'Fear Wolf,' 'Starving Vulture,' 'Crazy Vines,' and so on, commonly found in the '?' scenes along the road.
'Demon' specifically refers to humans. Some humans who have consumed exotic fruits or whose comprehension of Spiritual Energy has strengthened may proceed to slaughter living beings and engage in sinister practices like extracting bones and hearts. These individuals are malevolent towards all living beings—especially towards spirits, rare but usually appearing as mini-bosses when they do.
