====The Hierarchy of Demons====
* '''[[White-eyed Demon|White-eyed Demons]]''' – The demon chiefs of staff. There have only been two known white-eyed demons: Lilith, the first demon created by Lucifer, and Alastair. It can be presumed that he was the second demon created after Lilith.<ref name="essential">[[The Essential Supernatural: On the Road with Sam and Dean Winchester]]</ref> th
* '''[[Princes of Hell]]''' – Yellow-eyed demons who served as generals of Hell's demon army. The Princes were said to have been created before the sinking of Atlantis, and were the first generation of demons created soon after Lilith by Lucifer. However, at some unspecified time, three of the four Princes abandoned Hell and Lucifer's plan, leaving [[Azazel]] to go forward with attempting to free Lucifer from [[the Cage]]. In the absence of Lucifer, Azazel took control of Hell.<ref name="three04 /> Crowley later told [[Ramiel]] that with Lucifer locked away and Azazel and Lilith dead, Ramiel was next in line for Hell's Throne but neither Ramiel nor any of the other Princes wanted it.<ref name="twelve12" /> After Crowley's death, [[Asmodeus]] was able to use his status as the last Prince of Hell to become the next King of Hell.<ref name="thirteen02" />
* '''[[Knights of Hell]]''' – Some of the first [[soul]]s handpicked by [[Lucifer]] to become demons.
* [[Holy Oil|Holy fire]] - While generally not capable of killing a demon, it will cause them great pain as shown when [[Meg]] was tossed into a ring of it by [[Castiel]] to act as a bridge out<ref name="five10" /> and when Sam doused [[Abaddon]] in it, causing her so much pain she fled her [[meatsuit]].<ref name="eight23" /> However, another demon was able to commit suicide by purposefully dousing himself in holy fire.<ref name="ten03" />
* [[Holy water]] - While most have some vulnerability to holy water, higher-level demons such as [[Lilith]] and [[Azazel]] appear immune.
* [[Iron]] - Demons cannot cross an iron line, and can be hurt with any object made of iron. However, a horde of 100's hundreds of demons released from the [[Devil's Gate in Wyoming]], were able to break through the iron railroad devil's trap that surrounded [[Fossil Butte Cemetery]].
* [[Palo Santo]] - Burns in a similar way to holy water, and can kill demons if staked in a fatal area.
* [[Salt]] - Most demons cannot cross a line of salt and they feel intense pain when they come in contact with it. [[Hunters]] use rock salt in shotgun shells to wound and temporarily hinder demons.
