"Demonic Dictionary"
This is a guide for those who are interested in a real list of demons instead of those who contain

, and others that are not canonically "demons". I figured I'd make a list with a brief summary of each so those who are looking for more interesting picks and to clear up a bit of confusion. If I make any mistakes at all or if you have suggestions leave it in the comments below!
P.S., I left out
because currently his lore isn't canon and I don't want to fool anyone, no pun intended.
Known by many names throughout history, the demon Tahm Kench travels the waterways of Runeterra, feeding his insatiable appetite with the misery of others. Though he may appear singularly charming and proud, he swaggers through the physical realm like a vagabond in search of unsuspecting prey. His lashing tongue can stun even a heavily armored warrior from a dozen paces, and to fall into his rumbling belly is to tumble into an abyss from which there is little hope of return. Tahm Kench is a common pick as support and occasionally found in the top lane, he requires relatively low skill to play and is one of the easiest champions to grasp early on with a big focus on building tank to achieve his greatest potential. Personally when I play Tahm as a support, I take items in this order as I found most support items to hold back his full potential as a tank, though whatever kind of build works for you.

Within the dark seams of Runeterra, the demon Evelynn searches for her next victim. She lures in prey with the voluptuous façade of a human female, but once a person succumbs to her Allure charms, Evelynn’s Last Caress true form is unleashed. She then subjects her victim to unspeakable torment, gratifying herself with their pain. To the demon, these liaisons are innocent flings. To the rest of Runeterra, they are ghoulish tales of lust gone awry and horrific reminders of the cost of wanton desire. Evelynn is an AP assassin that is always played in the jungle, she's about an average skill level and has a higher skillcap. People usually build the following items on her.

A demonic amalgamation drawn from the nightmares that haunt every sentient mind, the thing known as Nocturne has become a primordial force of pure terror. It is liquidly chaotic in aspect, a faceless shadow with cold eyes and armed with wicked-looking blades. After freeing itself from the spirit realm, Nocturne now continually descends upon the waking world, to feed on the kind of fear that can only thrive in true darkness. An assassin jungler that is also seen rarely in the midlane.

As he lay on the verge of death, a raven approached to feed, and Swain felt an old, familiar darkness press upon him again. But he would not let it take him. He could not. Staring into the the bird’s eye, he saw reflections of the evil strangling the heart of Noxus. A black rose. The pale woman... and her puppet emperor. Swain realized that he had not defeated the hidden cabal, and they had betrayed him to what should have been his death, after seducing Darkwill, the man they failed to overthrow. Swain is not a demon at all, though the arm that he possesses is granted by the demon inside of him, the demon of secrets. Swain is a sustain mage that utilizes tanky AP items, allowing him to be a dominant force on the rift.

Currently Fiddlestick's lore isn't canon either, though with the rework coming soon it is implied that he is in fact a demon, I'm leaving this section blank because it is subject to change. (UPDATE COMING SOON)
Edit: fixed grammar, mistakes with lore texts, and changed summary to clear confusion. Edit: Added Brand to the list of non-demons because of confusion about Morgana being the odd one out.
