Possibly a demon?

So right now Rito have confirmed that TahmKench Evelynn are demons. Many people also speculate Nocturne Shaco are also demons (not sure if they are confirmed, please enlighten me if so). We know for sure Darkins are not demons, but another different race. What we do currently know about demons it that:

  1. They tend to prey on humans
  2. They need to form some sort of contract to be able to do so

There is also the speculation that demons are related to the seven deadly sins. Regardless of that, there is actually 1 more being in the lore that fulfills these requirements. Elise Not exactly her, but the Spider God she "prays" to. From Elises lore, we know the spider preys of humans, but cant get them himself for some reason. Instead he uses Elise as a medium to start a fake religion and lure humans to him. Perhaps them having faith in him, to lower their pride for him, is the contract he needs to fulfill in order to prey on them. Since his contract is particularly hard to fulfill, he made a deal with Elise.

Even though he is from the Shadow Isle where there are plenty of other weird creatures, the Spider God does seem to fulfill the criteria of being a demon. What do you think?

Demons are not tied to the judeo-christian 7 deadly sins. We are a global company and went with themes more universal than that.

Elise doesn't pray nor start a religion.

He's a spider god that lets Elise have freedom on the isles (for taking artifacts and imaginably protects her from being the next kalista/senna) at the cost of her bringing him prey (because a giant spider probably can't walk the ocean to take over a city as easily as Elise can bring people to him.). Elise lures men with her attractive appearance and takes them to the isles to Vilemaw, takes artifacts and turns them into the black rose, and then gets the favor returned in her beauty being preserved.

Elise returned the athame to the leader of the Black Rose, though the Pale Woman warned that the magic maintaining her restored beauty would eventually fade. The two sealed a pact; the Black Rose would provide Elise with acolytes to offer up to the Spider God, and she in turn, would return any artifacts of power she discovered upon the isles.

Centuries have passed since her first voyage to the Shadow Isles, and whenever Elise sees streaks of white in her hair or crow's feet at her eyes, she ventures forth to cull easily swayed souls from the Black Rose and set sail for the isle of black mists. None who accompany her ever return, and with each voyage, it is said she is renewed and invigorated, bearing another ancient artifact for the Pale Woman.

Whether or not vilemaw is a god or a demon is a possible discussion, but he's currently slated as the same entity Illaoi's god is and because of their existance, doesn't rule out gods in the LoL universe.

Demons can be a bit of a vague term. In a way, you can consider void creatures to be demons.
