The Seven Hells of the Demon Army are hostile demons in the videogame Devil May Cry 3. Each one of the seven Demons is based on the Seven Deadly Sins.
Different Versions[]
Pride[]

Hell Pride
The Hell Pride are the 1st of the Seven Hells that Dante encounters in-game. They resemble grim reapers, use big scythes to attack and are made of sand (disappearing in sand once they're killed). They are also the weakest members of the Seven Hells. However, they make up their low defenses up with them appearing the most numerous amount of time and largely in numbers.
Envy[]

Hell Envy
The Hell Envy are the 2nd of the Seven Hells appearing in Dante's archive, but the last type he encounters in the game. Unlike most of the other Hells, they manifest through a mysterious green bile, which restricts their movement but prevents them from being knocked into the air. They are also slightly stronger than the Hell Prides, and they only appear inside the Leviathan, being this last one the Hell of Envy itself.
Wrath[]

Hell Wrath
The Hell Wrath are the 3rd of the Seven Hells in Dante's archive, and usually the 4th kind he encounters in-game. They are debatably the most miserable out of all the Hell Demons. They are incredibly slow because of the massive organic sack that they carry on their backs at all times. The massive organic sack both protects them from any melee attacks , but are also highly explosive, seeing how it can explode when either damaged via gunfire or they drop the sack. Once it explodes, it can damages both friends and foes alike.
Sloth[]

Hell Sloth
The Hell Sloth are the 3th of the Seven Hells that Dante encounters, appearing as the 4th type in his archive. They are the tallest members of the Seven Hells, and are presumably blind, since they cover their eyes with a bandage. They don't walk from their spot, but instead they teleport around to ambush and attack the opponent with a powerful swing with their scythes. They also appear to be made out of sand, they leave a sand-like dust cloud everytime they teleport.
Greed[]

Hell Greed
The Hell Greed are the 5th of the Seven Hells in Dante's archives, and are almost the last that he encounters. They are the governors of covetous souls. They never directly attack their opponents, instead they use their coffins to summon other members of the Seven Hells to fight for them. They can summon Hell Prides, Sloths, and Lusts. Even though they don't fight, they can deal some damage if they hit Dante with their coffin during the summoning process.
Gluttony[]

Hell Gluttony
The Hell Gluttony are the 6th of the Seven Hells in the archive, and the 5th type Dante encounters and battles. They greatly resemble the Hell Pride, but are slightly stronger and their coats are green. Instead of wielding scythes like most of the other members, Gluttony wields staffs; for this reason, they cannot directly deal any damage. They mostly attack by shooting a powerful blast of sand out of their mouths.
Lust[]

Hell Lust
The Hell Lust are the 7th of the Seven Hells in the enemies archive, and the 2nd type Dante encounters. Rather than bandages or a cloak, they instead wear a distinctive reddish jester-like outfit. They are the most powerful of the Seven Hells. They are fast, agile, and are able to dodge most attacks with ease. Although they cannot teleport, their dash attack is very damaging. They only appear in small numbers, usually two or three at a time.
Trivia[]
- Several Hell Prides and Hell Lusts also appear in the opening theme song of Devil May Cry: The Animated Series.
- The coffin wielded by the Hell Greed does not resemble an actual coffin, but is more similar in size and appearance to a torture and execution device known as an Iron Maiden.
- 7 Hells are implied to be humans turned into Demons just like the Msira demons in Devil May Cry 2.
- The Seven Deadly Sins or Seven Cardinal Sins are a list of seven major vices which lead to sin in Catholic doctrine. It was developed by Evagrius Ponticus in the 4th century and revised by Pope Gregory I in 590 AD. The list serves as the basis for Purgatory's layout in the Purgatorio chapter of Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy.
- Pope Gregory I also put forth a list of contrary virtues: Humility against pride, Kindness against envy, Temperance against gluttony, Chastity against lust, Patience against wrath, Charity against greed, and Diligence against sloth.
- Likely to keep in their theme of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Hell Prides, whose appearance are based on the popular personification of the Grim Reaper as skeletal human entities dressed in black robes and wielding scythes, are the most basic enemy, "wearing down the prideful" with the ability to block and to remind and humble reckless and careless players that they are still a threat.
- Likely to keep in theme with the Seven Deadly Sins, the Hell Envies "humble the envious" by their perdition being within the bowels of Leviathan, and to make players "grateful" of the vulnerabilities of the other sand based Hells and enemies of the game.
- Since the Hell Envies only appear inside Leviathan and it is impossible to find them anywhere else in the whole game (except for the Bloody Palace mode in the game's Special Edition), Hell Envies are the only non-boss enemy that can be fought only in one mission.
- The Hell Envies' masks strongly resemble the medieval mask of infamy, a mask meant to parade and mark criminals in public.
- In the Bloody Palace mode, all Wraths drop both a white and a green orb when killed.
- The Hell Wraths' masks somewhat resemble a bondage mask.
- Their dark skin, tall and thin body and white bandages and cloak make the Hell Sloths indeed very similar to mummies.
- Hell Sloths have their eyes permanently covered by a bandage through the game. If they are actually blind, they are one of the two only enemies in the Devil May Cry series who show this characteristic, together with Blitz.
- The 5th Hell: Greed, along with 1st Hell: Pride and 7th Hell: Lust are featured in their own cards in the 2019 free-to-play card mobile videogame TEPPEN, all of them are part of the Core Card Pack and are purple unit cards.
