YA/Children's book with demons?

UNSOLVED

I only vaguely remember it, but the general theme was kind of generic heroes journey, and many of the antagonists were demons that took different animal shapes. They might have been able to change their shape? I took it out of the library when I was a kid, so it's existed since the early-mid 90s?

The Golden Compass books. The kids were fairly young and in the world their souls took the form of a shape changing daemon.

That's a good thought, but it wasn't His Dark Materials. The setting was more medieval/fantasy, and it was definitely the bad guys who were demons.

My bad I totally skimmed over the antagonists being demons part. So much for reading comprehension lol.

I mean, this is a forum dedicated to people missing something about things they read, so you're in good company.

Could it have been Many Waters by Madeline L'engle? They weren't exactly demons, but they took on animal forms and they were def bad guys?
