Daimon
From WikiMoon
Daimons were creatures created by the Death Busters in both the anime and manga. In the English dub, the Daimons were called "Heart Snatchers."
The first Daimon on Earth was Germatoid, who crossed over from the Tau Nebula and infected the scientist Professor Souichi Tomoe, overriding his personality. The possessed professor then established Mugen Gakuen and the Death Busters, intending to find the Holy Grail and facilitate Pharaoh 90's passage to Earth. As part of his operation, he produced more Daimon Eggs and began to experiment with the creation of further Daimons.

Anime
In the anime, the earliest known Daimons to be created by the Death Busters were (like Germatoid) fusions with humans. However, the only known fusion of this type, created from an unwilling Mugen Gakuen student, was apparently not as efficient, and resulted in an enormous, limbless creature with sharp teeth. Despite its ungainly appearance, it was extremely powerful. After being hit by Sailor Neptune's Deep Submerge attack, the Daimon reverted to human form, its host apparently unharmed.
Later methods of Daimon creation involved the fusion of a Daimon Egg with another (usually inorganic) object. As soon as the target touched the object the Daimon would awaken, transforming into a creature based on the object before trying to extract the Pure Heart Crystal out of its target. As the production process was refined, Daimons became more powerful.
When Daimons were defeated by Sailor Moon, they usually cried, "lovely!" When they were defeated with Rainbow Moon Heart Ache, however, they instead usually cried, "love-lovely!" For a short time in the English dub, the Daimons also cried "lovely," but this was not continued.

Manga
In the manga, the Death Busters removed the souls of beings on Earth and used their empty bodies as vessels to hold beings from the Tau Nebula. Most of the Daimon Eggs were implanted in Mugen Gakuen students, though there were also examples of them being used with cats and dogs. When the Daimon implantation failed, the one so affected would revert to a monstrous state.
Germatoid, Mistress 9, and the other Death Busters were examples of sucessful Daimons.
Games
In the video games Sailor Moon S: Quiz Taiketsu! Sailor Power Ketsushuu for Playdia and Sailor Moon S - Kotaete Moon Call for Telebikko, there was a Daimon called Quiz.
Trivia
- The names of the final series of Daimons all started with a "U," which could have been a reference to ukai, a fishing method in which birds are used to catch fish by swallowing them and then being forced to cough them up, as Professor Tomoe mentioned ukai fishing in his explanation of the new Daimons to the Witches 5. This series of Daimons swallowed the captured Pure Hearts after extracting them from the victims, in an attempt to prevent them from being taken back by the Sailor Senshi.
- The Daimons appeared to become stronger over time. Beginning with those used by Mimete, Moon Spiral Heart Attack was too weak to destroy them, and Sailor Moon had to use the Holy Grail and Rainbow Moon Heart Ache in order to win.
