6 Strongest Demon Lords In Manhwa
In manhwa, it would be an understatement to say that the following Demon Lords shouldn't be taken lightly...
Some might be proud and have "tsundere" personalities, while others are the perfect partners, but all of these pets are worthy of the "strongest" title. From mounts to magical beasts, spirit animals, and even mentors, all these cute creatures are a manhwa MC's best friends.

But since Kayden hasn't recovered from his old battle wounds, he needs to pass as Jiwoo's pet for a long time, accompanying him and pretending to be a normal cat. Of course, while he had to go to the Awakeners Academy, Casein Nitrate's powers were discovered, so they had to lie and say that Jiwoo also has Pet Control powers, much to the surprise of MIR. The fun part is that this seemingly useless cat still has most of the powers of the strongest Awakener, and he uses them to beat anyone who dares threaten Jiwoo.

Besides its enormous strength and fire attribute powers, this creature has proven to be highly intelligent, helping Yoojin every time he is in a pinch.
This creature is optimized for battle, is highly resilient to the Fire Element, and can breathe fire that reduces everything to ashes.

She has a snarky and prankster personality, often chastising Arthur for his behavior, but is in truth fond of him, and considers him as family.
6 Manhwa With Great Depictions Of Friendship
Many manhwa feature characters who share strong bonds. These manhwa, however, offer some of the best depictions of friendship in the medium.
Her powers are only comparable to Arthur's, but since she still has a lot of time to grow, it is understandable that she will reach power heights that no other living being will be able to imitate. She is currently only ten years old, although the average lifespan of a dragon cannot be measured in human years. In the novels, she assumes a human shape, and resembles the features of Arthur, while retaining Sylvia's (her mother) main characteristics: white hair, black horns, and wearing a black dress with a scale-like design.

He can also run faster than a horse, often showing a competitive nature while riding alongside other warriors' horses. Chris thinks this is due to Pumpkin being the smallest of the litter, which has created some sort of inferiority complex in him. Nevertheless, this powerful fire wolf is strong enough to help Chris reach his ultimate goal: becoming a powerful King.

She can assume a human-like form with certain draconic features, which makes fans suspect that she might be some kind of young but powerful dragon.
