Cacodemons are the manifestation of a person’s worst memories created by Nyx, and as such are technically the "children" of her and that person.
The Sun and the Star: A Nico di Angelo Adventure[]
After freeing Bob, Nico di Angelo comes face to face with over a dozen cacodemons Nyx created shortly after the son of Hades entered the Underworld. He inspects them and sees his worst memories resurface. Nyx takes this as a sign Nico is destined to be consumed by trauma. Nico attacks Nyx but they do nothing to aid the goddess until Will Solace gives her hay fever and they swarm the son of Apollo. Nico manages to take control of them and free them from both his and Nyx's control. They later return to Camp Half-Blood with the son of Hades, who nicknames his "Cocoa Puffs"
Description[]
Cacodemons vary greatly in appearance- some are more humanoid than others, some have multiple legs or tusks or antlers, some have single eyes-but always resemble three dimensional shadows with glowing eyes.
