So I thought it would be fun to list out all of the Enemies we have seen from trailers and gameplay so far because a lot of them have pretty Berserkish designs (and that's always a good thing) and also a few familiar faces with a new coat of paint.

============================================
Empusa: The most basic enemy in the game, really do not pose a threat with low damange output and health pool and are essentially cannon fodder. If left alone, they will run to blood pools and evolve into the enemies below.
(Chaos2Frozen's comment - Fun fact, if you look closer at their heads these fuckers have a face made up of three separate human faces)
Red Empusa: So, I'm not even sure if these chumps attack you, if they do its the same as the basic level empusa's. However, on death, they drop a large amount of Red Orbs, so it seems their sole purpose is to give the player more Orbs, if you don't kill them within a certain time however, they'll retreat from the battlefield, disappearing in a red puddle and you'll lose your red orbs forever.
Green Empusa: Again, i'm not even sure if these dudes attack you. But what they will certainly do, is heal other demons around them, or, if they take enough damage they heal themselves. While not much of a problem on lower difficulties, it is almost certain you're gonna wanna target these guys first on higher difficulties to prevent them from regenerating enemies.
Empusa Queen: Don't mess with the commander, this guy certainly looks like he isn't going to be a chump like his little friends, probably being sub-boss like in terms of damage output and health pool. I added in a basic empusa for size comparisons because CRICKEY
Spiky Tentacles: Come out the ground and will hurt you if you're standing where they come out, occasionally try to stab you but otherwise don't do shit.
(Chaos2Frozen's comment - Most likely a big of the tentacle boss later)
Hell Caina: Sharing a strong resemblance to the Hell Pride's of DMC5 fame, these lesser demons have a higher health pool than the basic empusa enemies and hit harder. I may be remembering wrong but I'm sure while attacking they have an armour-like state while in attack animation so it may take more than one hit to get them out of this state.
Hell Judecca: A commander variant of the Hell Caina type enemies. This enemy can attack you from both mid and close range, as well as being able to teleport and summon a hell caina minion. It appears to have a fairly large health pool and could prove to be a more difficult opponent to deal with.
Hell Anternora : This grimy smelly looking enemy comes packing with two giant butcher knives and one hell of an infection. Seems to be quite fast and probably has a larger health pool than basic hell enemies. Its safe to assume both blades can output quite a bit of damage. Power-bombable by Nero.
(Chaos2Frozen's comment - The Hells are named after the rings of Cocytus from Dante's Inferno. Caina, Antenora, Ptolomea and Judecca. That means there's at least one more Hell to be revealed.)
Raptor Boi: These dudes, while big and intimidating in stature, are actually less of a threat than they appear to be, being easily stunned and juggled, They appear to be the lesser variant of raptor enemies. Nero does the frost-throw animation on these chumps when he busters them.
Chaos: So, this is the guy you see Dante shave his face with in the TGS Trailer. They appear to be very mobile, dodge around alot, and are capable of entering a mega-scarecrow esque rolling animation with those blades on their back which can do serious damage. However, these spikes can be broken with enough damage, rendering them less effective in battle. They appear to be a more advanced variation of the raptor demon.
Red Raptor: These guys appear related to the other raptor enemies, we don't have much to judge them from, but it does an animated attack while being bustered that nero dodges, and it is extremely fast, almost instant, with nero dodging it in the animation. So to make an educated guess, these will be the most dangerous type of raptor being very quick and damaging.
(Chaos2Frozen's comment - These are obviously based on the Lizardmen enemy types, namely the Blades and the Assaults, seen as far back as DMC1 and as recent as DMC4.)
Death Scissors: A brutal enemy of DMC1 fame. They fly around and dash at you with those two giant scissor blades, I THINK in the gamescom trailer you can see her blades being broken at one point, its either that or a stun. I also believe they can phase through the environment like DMC1 so, Psycho Sirens time.
Bat: its... a bat, that flies around, spits fire and shoots projectiles at you that can be parried back. Nero and V encounter them but its unsure if Dante does.
Pyrobat: An enemy we've only seen Dante fight I believe, they appear to be a bigger, angrier, hotter variation of the bats that Nero fights. This picture shows their de-charged state, however they will charge up, eventually glowing fully red and orange, and can either shoot fire from their stomachs which do damage over time, or glow purple from a point in their stomach and shoot fireballs from said stomach which reset their state. Also if you do enough damage to them on the ground they will grow fat and self destruct which does a high amount of damage to you
Scudo Angelos: A lesser variant of the Nelo Angelo enemy. They carry broadswords and shields, and are usually in groups. They stalk and wait for a chance to attack with shield raised high, though it appears the shield can be broken reducing their offensive capabilities.
Proto Angelo: A man with guts and honor. While not being the specific vergilified Nelo Angelo that Dante fought on Mallet Island. They are every bit as dangerous, Their attacks, while slow and easily telegraphed, are so powerful that they create shockwaves, and if the sword hits you, you will feel it. I expect them to be amongst the most dangerous enemies on DMD. They also apparently taunt you and call you names and are generally quite mean. They can be juggled.
Behemoth: I'm not quite sure what this is, but due to the indicator behind showing that you cannot move out of that area, I presume it isn't a boss fight because they don't usually have these. Rather its just a lesser enemy that probably has sub-boss level health and damage output. Only Dante is seen fighting them.
Nobodies: Horrible creatures from DMC1 that are sure to bring back some nightmares, and will almost certainly be dicks on DMD. It can evolve into an enraged version of itself which takes a new form, as seen below, what causes this is either, leaving it alone for long enough, or dealing enough damage to it, i'm unsure as to which it is.
Enraged Nobody: While technically the same enemy as above, its a form that the nobodies can take that is worth talking about, its claw on its back grows bigger and its eyeballs start popping out and it looks gross as shit. Does more damage in this form and moves around a little more, however can still be stunned. It will eventually reset itself to an original nobody after a certain amount of time.
Baphomet: Yeah, i'm not sure if this actually the goatling from DMC2, I kinda hope it is because why the fuck not. We don't see anything outside of Nero smashing its brains in so not much to go off here.
