161 Charmed Demons, Warlocks, and Baddies, Ranked by Scariness
Charmed is a show about three magical sisters who hate men and love each other. Prue, Piper, and Phoebe (and later, Paige) Halliwell come into their powers in their mid to late 20s, then spend eight years fighting any and all evil that descends upon San Francisco — and apparently, there's a lot of it to fend off in NorCal. Not all hellfires are created equal, though. And what better time to rank demons than Halloween weekend? For clarity's sake, we've excluded minor threats, demons who only encounter the sisters in passing, and alternate-universe/past-life versions of the sisters or their family members. From the barely scary to the truly terrifying, here are 161 demons, warlocks, evil witches, and other creatures that make the Charmed Ones' lives a living hell (literally).

A creature that consumes the hearts of those who are lovesick is awfully dangerous to the Halliwells and everyone in their lives. Naturally, this wendigo, disguised as an FBI agent, goes after Andy Trudeau, the officer hopelessly in love with Prue, and turns Piper into one of these creatures in the process.

11. Ari/Freckles/Jersey (Season 3, Episode 10, "We All Scream for Ice Cream")
10. Zankou (Season 7, Episode 10, "Witchness Protection")
Zankou is a powerful demon that sticks around for most of season seven, at first trying to rid the world of the Avatars (for which he needs the help of the Charmed Ones to actually accomplish) and then to steal the Book of Shadows and consume the shadow (a.k.a. Woogyman) underneath the manor.
9. The Woogyman (Season 1, Episode 15, "Is There a Woogy in the House?")
For the Halliwell sisters, childhood demons turned out to be real-life demons. For Phoebe, the shadowy Woogyman she saw Grams struggle against when she was a little girl turned out to be something still living beneath the manor, and the chant she was given to calm down as a kid turned out to be the exact spell necessary for sending it back to where it belongs.
8. Jeremy Burns (Season 1, Episode 1, "Something Wicca This Way Comes" & Season 2, Episode 23, "Witch Trial")
A common thread throughout all eight seasons of Charmed? Men (mostly) suck. The Halliwell sisters learned that harsh truth when Piper’s fiancé turned out to be a warlock almost immediately after they discover their destinies. Jeremy was gotten rid of pretty quickly, but the fear of what he did to Piper lingers in every relationship they pursue after that.
7. Demon of Illusion (Season 2, Episode 18, "Chick Flick")
The Demon of Illusion was just a one-off demon encounter, but his episode was every scary-movie fear brought to life — literally. He would help bring scary-movie characters like Bloody Mary to life in the human world, where they would wreak havoc like they would on-screen, but without chocolate syrup for blood.
6. Gideon (Season 6, Episode 14, "The Legend of Sleepy Halliwell")
The scariest parts of Charmed are watching people the sisters trust turn on them without even blinking an eye. Gideon, an Elder and headmaster of the Magic School, is supposed to be an emblem of good in the universe, but instead he spends his time plotting ways to kill baby Wyatt Halliwell under the pretense that no one as powerful as the baby should be born into the world.
5. Shax (Season 3, Episode 22, "All Hell Breaks Loose" & Season 4, Episode 1, "Charmed Again, Part 1")
Shax’s actual powers (manipulation of the wind) were some of the least terrifying that the sisters encountered. Even his look — best described as "blue Fabio" — wasn’t shocking, but never judge a book by its cover: Shax did some serious damage to the sisters’ lives. Not only did he nearly cause their powers to be outed publicly, but he took away something more important than their secrecy: their sister Prue.
4. The Seer (Season 4, Episode 13, "Charmed and Dangerous")
The Seer wasn't actively evil, but she was persuasive enough to guide Cole Turner back to his evil ways. Her subtle manipulation was straight-up terrifying, and everything that went down with the Source’s Heir that Phoebe originally carried was one of the creepiest parts of her entire plot.
3. Christy Jenkins (Season 8, Episode 6, "Kill Billie Vol. 1")
Christy has been a source of fandom controversy: Is she actually evil or just raised that way? Let’s just call it like it is: Christy betrayed her own sister Billie and the Charmed Ones she pretended to aid. That’s not exactly the work of a good witch.
2. Barbas (Season 1, Episode 13, "From Fear to Eternity")
Barbas (otherwise known as the Demon of Fear) was one demon the Charmed Ones wished they knew how to quit. For seven of eight seasons, Barbas was near inescapable, popping up and unearthing all the old and developing fears that could weaken the sisters, and then when that didn’t work, he aided anyone and everyone with stealing the super-powerful baby Wyatt and just about anything else to enact revenge on the Power of Three.
1. Cole Turner/Belthazor/The Source of All Evil (Season 3, Episode 1, "The Honeymoon’s Over")
Oh, Cole Turner. The Upper Level Demon tried so hard to be evil, but then he fell in love with one Phoebe Halliwell. Then he tried so hard to be good only to just become evil again and take Phoebe down a dark road. Cole’s was an obsessive love, and he may have been the most complex evil being of all.
Charmed is a show about three magical sisters who hate men and love each other. Prue, Piper, and Phoebe (and later, Paige) Halliwell come into their powers in their mid to late 20s, then spend eight years fighting any and all evil that descends upon San Francisco — and apparently, there's a lot of it to fend off in NorCal.

11. Ari/Freckles/Jersey (Season 3, Episode 10, "We All Scream for Ice Cream")
10. Zankou (Season 7, Episode 10, "Witchness Protection")
Zankou is a powerful demon that sticks around for most of season seven, at first trying to rid the world of the Avatars (for which he needs the help of the Charmed Ones to actually accomplish) and then to steal the Book of Shadows and consume the shadow (a.k.a. Woogyman) underneath the manor.
9. The Woogyman (Season 1, Episode 15, "Is There a Woogy in the House?")
For the Halliwell sisters, childhood demons turned out to be real-life demons. For Phoebe, the shadowy Woogyman she saw Grams struggle against when she was a little girl turned out to be something still living beneath the manor, and the chant she was given to calm down as a kid turned out to be the exact spell necessary for sending it back to where it belongs.
8. Jeremy Burns (Season 1, Episode 1, "Something Wicca This Way Comes" & Season 2, Episode 23, "Witch Trial")
A common thread throughout all eight seasons of Charmed? Men (mostly) suck. The Halliwell sisters learned that harsh truth when Piper’s fiancé turned out to be a warlock almost immediately after they discover their destinies. Jeremy was gotten rid of pretty quickly, but the fear of what he did to Piper lingers in every relationship they pursue after that.
7. Demon of Illusion (Season 2, Episode 18, "Chick Flick")
The Demon of Illusion was just a one-off demon encounter, but his episode was every scary-movie fear brought to life — literally. He would help bring scary-movie characters like Bloody Mary to life in the human world, where they would wreak havoc like they would on-screen, but without chocolate syrup for blood.
6. Gideon (Season 6, Episode 14, "The Legend of Sleepy Halliwell")
The scariest parts of Charmed are watching people the sisters trust turn on them without even blinking an eye. Gideon, an Elder and headmaster of the Magic School, is supposed to be an emblem of good in the universe, but instead he spends his time plotting ways to kill baby Wyatt Halliwell under the pretense that no one as powerful as the baby should be born into the world.
5. Shax (Season 3, Episode 22, "All Hell Breaks Loose" & Season 4, Episode 1, "Charmed Again, Part 1")
Shax’s actual powers (manipulation of the wind) were some of the least terrifying that the sisters encountered. Even his look — best described as "blue Fabio" — wasn’t shocking, but never judge a book by its cover: Shax did some serious damage to the sisters’ lives. Not only did he nearly cause their powers to be outed publicly, but he took away something more important than their secrecy: their sister Prue.
4. The Seer (Season 4, Episode 13, "Charmed and Dangerous")
The Seer wasn't actively evil, but she was persuasive enough to guide Cole Turner back to his evil ways. Her subtle manipulation was straight-up terrifying, and everything that went down with the Source’s Heir that Phoebe originally carried was one of the creepiest parts of her entire plot.
3. Christy Jenkins (Season 8, Episode 6, "Kill Billie Vol. 1")
Christy has been a source of fandom controversy: Is she actually evil or just raised that way? Let’s just call it like it is: Christy betrayed her own sister Billie and the Charmed Ones she pretended to aid. That’s not exactly the work of a good witch.
2. Barbas (Season 1, Episode 13, "From Fear to Eternity")
Barbas (otherwise known as the Demon of Fear) was one demon the Charmed Ones wished they knew how to quit. For seven of eight seasons, Barbas was near inescapable, popping up and unearthing all the old and developing fears that could weaken the sisters, and then when that didn’t work, he aided anyone and everyone with stealing the super-powerful baby Wyatt and just about anything else to enact revenge on the Power of Three.
1. Cole Turner/Belthazor/The Source of All Evil (Season 3, Episode 1, "The Honeymoon’s Over")
Oh, Cole Turner. The Upper Level Demon tried so hard to be evil, but then he fell in love with one Phoebe Halliwell. Then he tried so hard to be good only to just become evil again and take Phoebe down a dark road. Cole’s was an obsessive love, and he may have been the most complex evil being of all.
