Demon Tribe

Skyward Sword

Template:Race These main antagonists are evil magic users who rule the land beneath the clouds. Headed by Lord Ghirahim, this group seeks to capture Zelda for some unknown purpose. At the base of Eldin Volcano, the Mogma tell Link that a bunch of shady "guys in red" have entered the volcano where Zelda is supposedly hidden. This is likely a reference to the demon tribe, since Ghirahim wears a red cloak and they are after Zelda.

There is much speculation on whether this group of sorcerers is related to one or more other races, tribes, or groups. Ghirahim's magic greatly resembles that of the Twili, whose ancestors were said to have sought control over Hyrule before the events of Ocarina of Time. The Mysterious Woman (who has indications of being a Sheikah) shares a similar design with Lord Ghirahim, implying that these two characters may be related somehow. Other possible connections include the "ancient tribe" who created Majora's Mask, and the "Dark Tribe."
