"Demons" is the name given by the townspeople of Absolution, New Mexico to the main antagonists of the 2011 sci-fi/western film Cowboys & Aliens. While initially appearing to be some kind of advanced invading force, and truly their technology is centuries beyond anything modern or 19th century Earth could muster, the "Demons" are anything but a military force invading our world: Jake and Dolarhyde then escape from the ship before it takes off. Moments after it takes flight, the reconfigured wrist weapon detonates, causing the ship to explode, killing all the aliens aboard.
