- "Funny. Hearing a Fyarl demon say "serviceable". Had a couple of 'em working for me once. They're more like "Like to crush. Crush now?" Strong, though. You won't meet a jar you can't open for the rest of your life."
- ―Spike[src]
Fyarl demons are humanoid species of demon foot soldier. They are known for serving other demons, even vampires, because they are rather dim-witted but extremely violent. Humans can be transformed into Fyarl demons through a spell.
Physiology and powers
- Giles: "Listen, about Fyarl demons... do I, do I have any special powers? Setting things on fire with my sizzling eye beams?"
- Spike: "Well, you got the mucus thing..."
- Giles: "What? Mucus?"

Fyarl demons are tall, muscular humanoids with orange skin and protruding shoulders. They are also recognizable because of the curved horns at the sides of their heads. Besides being extremely strong, Fyarls have the ability of shooting paralyzing mucus from their noses. After drying, this substance becomes extremely hard and durable.
Despite their superhuman strength, Fyarls can be easily killed with weapons made of silver.
If a human is transformed into a Fyarl demon, they will be unable to speak in any tongue other than the Fyarl language, which consists of growls and roars. Another side effect of the transformation is that the human part of the victim's psyche will be slowly consumed by the demon's violent instincts, until their humanity disappears.
According to Vi, there is a lot of Fyarl activity in New York City.
