Yeah there was that one but I thought it has not been developed. How should they be different from the /actually existing/ storm demons? And aren't demons mostly blood summons? Maybe some big Storm Triton or such would be more fitting, even if we've plenty of tritons...
Unfortunately, "Demon" is a very subjective and wide reaching concept, that has in terms of game mechanics, been narrowed to a specific meaning.

There are a couple of nations who have demons summonable outside of blood, but I would think that for Oceania, you aren't even looking for "demons", per se. Something like Storm Nymphs or something, playful chaotic spirits who inhabit large bodies of water - who have little concern for mortal life, and who delight in causing mayhem more than harm, but don't really see a moral dilemna in people dying because they've gone and sunk another ship - it was too much fun to care.

Obviously aside from just not being demons, they'd also be different from the actual demons in weapon selection. They should have a Water Strike ability probably, and perhaps have a single target Sailors' Death ability for out of water. I'm not married to those spells, just throwing them out there to get the ball rolling.
