Parademons are fictional creatures from the DC Comics universe, primarily associated with the villain Darkseid. They serve as foot soldiers for Darkseid and are often depicted as monstrous beings with bat-like wings, sharp claws, and a menacing appearance. Parademons are typically used to carry out Darkseid's orders and enforce his will across various planets. These creatures originate from Apokolips, a dystopian planet ruled by Darkseid. Parademons are often shown as loyal and aggressive, attacking heroes like Superman and Batman when commanded. Their abilities include flight, enhanced strength, and a capacity for combat, making them formidable opponents in battles against the Justice League.
