Hideous

Hideous, also known as the The Craver of Hatred, is one of the most basic Demon in the Bayonetta series. They serves as the basic trooper of Inferno and are able to wield various weapons of their own creation. Due to their weakness, they are almost never fought alone and are usually even seen under the command of a stronger demon like a Hatred or a Malicious.

Bayonetta 2
Hideous is introduced in Chapter VII and becomes the basic demonic enemy until the end of the game after that and are often seen on Bayonetta's journey. There is three types of Hideous, each wielding their own weapons. The first one carry a scythe and is considered to be the base Hideous. The second one has two swords and do more damage than the first one while also being faster. The third one is equipped with a shotgun that makes him a threat at long range, this version is usually there to catch Bayonetta off guard when she is defending herself against the two melee variant of Hideous. It is also worthy to note that they can all fly and enter a berserk-like state that makes them stronger when they don't have much life left.

Lemegeton's Guidebook
"A clan of the demons who infest the Malebolge caves of Inferno. They constantly scuttle in groups, searching for unfortunate prey who have lost their way. Hideous often appear in groups in the human world as well, but displaying no cooperation in movement. For them, there is only scrambling for prey in a mad dash. Yet, Hideous possess a very strong intelligence, able to forge various weapons and rarely challenging enemies that appear in larger numbers than their own. If one is sighted by this merciless demon, overpowering it is the only option. Only a few are capable of this-- namely, the Lumen Sages who controlled the power of the light and the Umbra Witches who controlled the power of darkness."
