moke demons are generally depicted in folklore, fantasy, and media as incorporeal, shadowy, or vaporous entities composed of smoke and darkness, often embodying destruction or mischief. In Japanese folklore, the Enenra is a yōkai that manifests in smoke and fire, while in Western fantasy (like Star Wars or D&D), they are summoned, malevolent beings often able to transform or possess targets. 

Key Aspects of Smoke Demons in Mythology and Pop Culture:

• Japanese Mythology (Enenra): These entities, sometimes called enraenra, reside in bonfires and take human form. They are considered creatures of darkness and smoke, sometimes seen as a symbol of purity, yet capable of possessing humans who inhale them.
• Fantasy & Fiction:
  • Star Wars (Fandom): Known as dark side entities summoned via Sith sorcery to shapeshift into victims’ fears.
  • Fighting Fantasy (Fandom): Described as muscular yet skeletal, surrounded by noxious blue smoke and smelling of brimstone.
  • CrawlWiki: A flying, medium-sized entity in gaming, highly resistant to fire and poison.
  • Supernatural Wiki: In this lore, demons naturally appear as smoke in their incorporeal form on Earth, using this to possess humans.
• Abilities: Common abilities include intangibility (attacks pass through them), summoning, shapeshifting, causing disease, and manipulation of smoke to choke or suffocate victims.
• Vulnerabilities: Often susceptible to holy damage, air manipulation, or being dispersed by wind.
