The most common purpose of a demon is thought to be demonic possession - the overtaking of a human's body in order to claim its soul. At least, this is the most popular interpretation of their intentions. People who are victims of demonic possession become controlled to various extents by these evil spirits. The demon may try to physically harm the person or their family, but usually they seek to scare them. Why? Because excessive fear makes a person weak.
As a demon weakens its victim, it gains more and more control over him or her. As it gains more control, it gets closer and closer to its ultimate goal - to own the soul of the victim. Why they seek mortal souls most certainly has to do with gaining power and growing stronger. In the world of the human, power is seductive. In the world of the demon, power is everything.
