Demoura Zodd

is the 18th Arrancar in Sōsuke Aizen army. He is one of the guards for the underground passageways to Hueco Mundo.

Appearance
Demoura is either an incomplete Arrancar or one that never learned how (or cared how) to seal his power in a form of a Zanpakutō, as Iceringer stated that they had abandoned Human forms for greater power. Demoura maintains features that give him the appearance of an hybrid between a Human and a Hollow. Demoura appears as a dark-skinned deformed human, whose stature is disproportionate to that of a normal Human. The remains of his Hollow mask covers the top of his face. He also has two strange linear emblems between this eyes and an enormous and deformed jaw. Demoura tends to walk stooped because of his long arms which brushed the ground as if he were a primate. He also has black hair and a dread-locked hairstyle with several ornaments and outstanding earrings at the end of these. Underneath his mask, he has two lines tattooed down his cheeks. His Arrancar hakama is simple and similar to the ones of most Arrancar.

Personnality
Demoura's intelligence seems to be very limited, confined to show aggressiveness typical of Hollows.

Hueco Mundo arc
Demoura is the first enemy Ichigo Kurosaki, Uryū Ishida, and Yasutora Sado face upon their arrival to Hueco Mundo. They cross the gorge and appear in a passage guarded by Demoura, and he pursues them to a large room with some stairs, where his companion Iceringer short steps Uryū and revealed that it was a simple but effective ambush.

Demoura hits the ground with his fist trying to reach Uryū and rebuked Iceringer's commentary about his lack of intelligence. They later affirm that they abandoned their Human forms in order to increase their own powers. While his companion Iceringer was engaged in battle with Chad, Demoura puts Uryū in trouble since Demoura's attack focuses on the spiritual energy around his hands, making it impossible for Uryū the use of his Reishi Heishō weapons, and limiting him to dodge the attacks of the Arrancar. However, Uryū and Chad are able to deceive them by exchanging opponents. Chad succeeds Uryū and then tips a tremendous punch, breaking Demoura's mask, and impacts him against the wall by the force of his punch.

Chad mocks Demoura's appearance without his mask and then renews the attack with another punch, but the Arrancar emerges and does not accept his defeat. He decides to use his most powerful attack by shooting his own tongue as a projectile against Chad, but Chad stops the attack after falling back a few meters and leaves the Arrancar stunned.

The Human uses his new special attack El Directo and hits Demoura, who falls to the ground defeated while Uryū and his Ginrei Kōjaku end the fight with Iceringer. Then, the room starts to crumble and they stated that it is because if they fall, the walls will fall with them, but Ichigo, Uryū, and Chad were aimed at the stairs of the hall at the time. After the room collapses, Demoura dies along his companion Iceringer.
