The Kandarian Demon, also known as "The Evil" and "The Force", also called "Rotten Apple Head" and "The Evil Force", is the main antagonist of the Evil Dead franchise. It is an evil supernatural entity that was the living spirit of the accursed spellbook known as the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. It is the arch-nemesis of Ash Williams.
The Kandarian Demon is the alpha/leader of the Deadites, due to Deadites referring to themselves in plural and when manifesting as Evil Ash.

Its demon vocal sound effects were provided by Frank Welker, who also voiced Thumper in A Bug's Life, Megatron in Transformers: The Game, the Red Death in How to Train Your Dragon and a possessing Unicron in Transformers Prime Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising, and Shockwave in Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
