A scrumpy-swilling drunken demolitions expert from the Scottish Highlands, the Demoman (real name Tavish DeGroot) is one of the more versatile members of the team. Though his weapons lack pinpoint long-range accuracy, the Demoman is a powerful (if unpredictable) asset, and can hold his own in just about any situation. He is a master of explosives, excelling at indirect, mid-range combat. Armed with his Grenade Launcher and stickybombs, the Demoman uses his only good eye and knowledge of the surrounding environment for well-timed detonations that send enemies skyward.
The Demoman excels at swift disassembly; he can bounce his grenades in creative angles to wreak havoc on enemy Sentry Gun emplacements while remaining safely out of sight. His stickybombs are a perfect tool for area denial, and are effective in keeping opponents away from any carts, control points and Intelligence cases he deems off-limits.
The Demoman is voiced by Gary Schwartz.

- Wearing the Chargin' Targe with The Expert's Ordnance will only give the Demoman 55% Fire Damage Resistance instead of 60% because 50% of 100 is 50% (Chargin' Targe) and 10% of the remaining 50% is 5% (The Expert's Ordnance), which will add up to 55%.
- Wearing the Sticky Jumper with The Expert's Ordnace will only give the Demoman 80% Fire Damage Vulnerability instead of 90% because 100% plus 100% (Sticky Jumper) is 200% and 10% of the resulting 200% is 20% (The Expert's Ordnance), which will add up to 180% Fire Damage = +80%.

Trivia
- The Heavy and the Demoman are both voiced by Gary Schwartz.
- The beta prototype of the Demoman was supposed to have a stereotypically Scottish appearance, consisting of pale skin and red hair. It was later dropped for the actual black Scottish style both because the former lacked originality and because the latter was easier to differentiate from the other classes.[1]
- The HUD icon of the Demoman is inverted horizontally, as he is depicted as left-handed. The Demoman's eye patch is also on the wrong eye.
- The WAR!: The Demoman lost the seven-day War waged between him and the Soldier, thus losing out on his chance to obtain the Gunboats.
- The Demoman was also a part of the KritzKast contest, in which contestants submitted what they thought the Demoman says in the censored portion of the Meet the Demoman.
- The emblem on the Demoman's arm was originally a bomb, then later changed to a stick of dynamite, and is currently a sticky bomb, as of November 19, 2010.
- In Template:W, an image of the RED Demoman makes a cameo as the Jack card for the red suits (hearts and diamonds) in the "TF2" card deck.
- The Demoman's eyepatch and beanie make an appearance in Template:W as one of the hats selectable for the player's worms.
- Alfred Nobel was hired as the first BLU Demoman.
- The Assault class of Monday Night Combat has a promo item with the Demoman's eyepatch and beanie with the name "Eye Lad".
