{{R from fictional character|South Park}}
'''Satan''' is an occasional character in the animated series '']'', based on the ], voiced by ]. Like the Judeo-Christian Devil, he presides over ] and is constantly at war with ], but far from being merciless and innately evil as Satan is often portrayed in other media, he is depicted in ''South Park'' as a soft-hearted, misunderstood ] capable of compassion and genuine emotional attachment.

⚫ ]
Many of Satan's appearances on ''South Park'' (as well as his role in the film '']'') focus on his romantic attachments, all of which so far have been ]. He was formerly romantically involved with ], whom he was deeply attached to but eventually killed after Saddam became too domineering. Satan has since had two other partners, Chris and Kevin (see "Romantic Attachments", below). Satan also has a rarely-seen son named Damien, who, while never specifically labelled as the Antichrist, is obviously based on the character from ''].''

==Origins==
According to the audio commentary for the episode "Damien", ''South Park'' creators ] and ] came up with the idea of Satan and Saddam Hussein being lovers on the set of '']'', where they would attempt to impress girls by improvising scenes between the two characters, one assuming the role of Satan and one of Saddam. Parker also mentions on the same commentary track that he and Stone were inspired to make Satan a wimp by the character of ] in '']''.

==World domination==
Satan has tried three times so far in the course of ''South Park'''s run to take over Earth: in the episodes '']'' and '']'', and also in the feature film '']''. All three attempts failed, with the last also leading to Satan's breakup and out-of-anger murder with his then-boyfriend Saddam Hussein.

==Romantic Attachments==
{{seealso|Do the Handicapped Go to Hell?}}
{{seealso|Probably (South Park)}}
Though presently single, Satan has had three romantic relationships so far. His most significant relationship was with ] in ''].'' However, Saddam was emotionally abusive to the comparatively-meek and ineffectual Satan, and seemed more interested in working with Satan to rule the Earth than in romance. With some prompting from ], Satan finally got the nerve to break up with Saddam by throwing him onto a giant rocky spike and killing him.

Saddam returned in "]" (with the explanation that, since he was killed, he was just going to wind up right back there). By this time Satan had a new boyfriend, a man named Chris. Chris was a ], was kind to everyone, and while Satan liked this, he also found Chris to be somewhat of a "pussy" and was not sexually attracted to him. After getting drunk and spending a night with Saddam, Chris and Saddam began to kill each other over and over again---appearing alive in Hell the next day---until Satan sought the advice of the one Person wise enough to aid him---God. God told Satan that neither boyfriend was right for him, and that he should spend some time to find himself before devoting himself to a relationship. With that in mind Satan dumped both men.

In the 2005 episode ], he has a new boyfriend, Kevin (which would imply that he has either found himself, or that he learned nothing from God). Kevin is a cloaked white demon who seems to be based on ] and/or ], and serves as Satan's advisor in Hell. At the end of the episode, when he continued to urge Satan to try to conquer Heaven after it was clear they were losing, Satan yells at him "No, Kevin! I'm breaking up with you!" and shoots bolts at him, killing him (though this was actually the first indication of romance between them).

While not seen in "]," he supposedly had sex with, and impregnated, a porcupine named Porcupiney in order to conceive a bestial Antichrist; however this is considered non-] as the entire plot was merely a story told by ].

==Halloween==
Satan regards ] as his special holiday and in the episode "]" celebrates the occasion by throwing a '']''-style party for the residents of Hell at the W Hotel in ]. In this episode, he is seen to behave in a manner similar to the spoiled teenage girls featured in the reality television show ''My Super Sweet 16'', insisting that he be the best-dressed one at the party and throwing tantrums when his advisors tell him he cannot have everything exactly as he wants. In the end, he realises Halloween is for everyone, not just himself, and that he doesn't want to be as bad as spoiled rich American teenaged girls.
