Shinma

The Shinmas are the name of demonic creatures in the Vampire Princess Miyu anime series.

History
Shinmas are god-demons that wreak havoc on the human world. They tend to haunt weak-hearted people by luring them to illusions that suppose to achieve the dreams or desires of those people only to leave them in ruin. It's the job of a guardian vampire (namely Miyu) to send them back to the original dimension, which simply named as "The Darkness" (also known as the Dark World). They seem to feed on human emotions, although there are some examples of blood-sucking, such as Ga-Ryu or even devouring whole humans as with Koh-Waku. Their powers typically include shape-shifting and the ability of soaring and/or flying. One can spot them by the unnatural glow in their eyes. Their dimension mirror human dimension, as they have nationalities. Shinma may be Japanese, Chinese or Westerners.

Carlua
Larva's cousin who's also in love with him.

Cait Sith
The prince of quarls and the western shinma, he releases the quarl queen to destroy Miyu, but in the end, he himself is killed by Lemures, who seemingly has escaped from the "Darkness".

Pasuzu

Spartori
A shinma with fire powers; he is killed by the Japanese shinma of the second tier, Aoi.

Water Lipper
An enchantress that controls water who attacks Ichiro, a Japanese shinma to find the location of Yui before she resurrects Miyu. She eventually dies at the hands of the quarl generals, who tell her that she is useless and they needed Ichiro in order to find the way to Yui.

Amy
Like Miyu, she controls fire to incinerate her enemies. She killed the mother and daughter that tended to Miyu and cared for her. Miyu becomes enraged and burns Amy with her own flames.

Lemunia
Lemunia is Lemures's younger brother and a good friend to Carlua. He eventually dies while saving Yui, where he is stabbed by the quarl general Gio.

Quarl Generals: Gigi, Gio, Gia, and Gima
These powerful warriors answer to Cait Sith and "Mama" only. They are all masked, and attack with powerful energy. Gigi is masked and is cloaked by a giant cape and appears very similar to Larva, although he wears a fan-shaped headress. Gia appears like a cuirassier with a horned crest on the top of his head. Gio has a horned helmet and appears like a knight. Gima is the only female member, and also the only one who appears most human. Their power falls, unfortunately: first, Gio is burned by Miyu's fire, Gima is impaled by Aoi's sword, and finally Gia is torn to shreads by Ranka's light threads and Gigi is cut down by Larva.

Quarl Queen
She is considered as a god by the quarls and is almost limitless in power. She was once imprisoned by Miyu's grandparent (vague; does not refer to the confiner as male or female). She was released by Cait Sith, her son. Later, she is seen fighting the Japanese shinma of the tiers, alone and seems to match their power. She is eventually weakened by Larva, who impales her with his lightning bolt. She is then killed by the entire shinma party.

Ranka
Ranka appears as an ally of Miyu in the manga; she uses threads of light to immobilize her enemies, as well as tear them apart.

Aoi
Aoi appears a human, and also wears a kabuki-like mask. He attacks with a katana, which he uses to kill Spartoi and Gima. He is later impaled and killed by the quarl queen's arm.

Ichiro
Ichirou is a combination of a human and a dog demon, or inu. He uses his fangs to eliminate his opponents. He seems naive and immature, but his powers match the quarl generals.

Nagi
He is a protector of Yui and also cares deeply for her. Like every other Japanese shinma, he is quite powerful, fighting as an equal against the quarl.

Senjyu
A shinma dressed like a high school student, who claims that he is neither male or female, although he appears masculine. He attacks the Shi clan's betrayer when he interfere's in Yui's search for Miyu.
