How knowledgeable are you on this cryptotheological subject?

You see them in the movies. You know, the kind you watch late at night as an excuse for eating all that junk food. You leave snarky reviews of them on Netflix. But how expert are you at distinguishing these various demons?

Match the demons from the list to their descriptions.

Descriptions:

1. It's 'kangaroo-shaped', has bat wings, claws and hooves, and hangs around the Pine Barrens. Sightings date back 300 years, remarkable for North America.
2. This guy's the headless horseman of Ireland. He calls out the names of those who die, and hangs out with banshees, a bad lot.
3. He's a good-looking devil, but he limps.
4. Speaking of good-looking: guys, you want to keep this demon away from your gf. It pitches woo in the night.
5. His name – 'Lord of the Flies' – is probably just a bad pun in Hebrew.
6. She's Celtic, she's usually an old lady, and she can seriously mess with your weather.
7. Shapeshifters are common enough. Some are demons, others just people with superpowers. This one's Navajo.
8. If a Boston Researcher gets snowbound too long and tries to eat you, he may be possessed by one of these Algonquian cannibal entities.
9. The Lithuanian leprechaun, this fella brings good things in the form of 'lifetime supplies' of what you need. (Lithuanians aren't judgemental about the supernatural.)
10. This Xhosa demon gets on the good side of women by offering to do housework in return for sexual favours. Beware!
