Hellion

Hellions (憑魔) are a type of creatures in Tales of Zestiria. They are created from malevolence—impurities born from the negative emotions of humanity. They threaten the existence of humans and Seraphim.

History
The Lord of Calamity is a being that gives rise to the hellions. They cannot be seen by normal human eyes: humans and animals possessed by the malevolence appear to them as if they were normal. Seraphim and humans with high spiritual energy are able to see hellions which can take on a variety of forms, like slimes and human-animal hybrids. The only person able to quell hellions is a Shepherd, a chosen wielder of the Sacred Blade who is given the power to do so.

Trivia

 * "Hellion" is an alteration of the word "Hell" which is depicted as a place of eternal torment. The word "hellion" means "an unruly, rowdy or mischievous person" or "an evil person", fitting for their namesakes from Tales of Zestiria.
