Elemental Demons are physical agents, just like the cannon ball or the sylph. They attack using the rules for whatever "type" of entity they are, but then do not attack again during the rest of that turn. IIRC. Don't the elemental demon rules specifically tell you how to deal with them being on a hex with enemy units? (Don't have my copy to hand right now.)
