A daemon is something that is more god like, it is a something good, where a demon is something evil, something devil like. I believe that Mary Shelley used Daemon sometimes to prove that the "Monster" isn't all evil, there are some good sides to him. On page 121, when Victor sees the "Monster", he says:
"I trembled and my heart failed within me, when, on looking up, I saw, by the light of the moon, the daemon at the casement."
The monster didn't always mean to hurt Victor, and at one point, he keeps attempting to save Victor. When Victor goes on the hunt to track down the "Monster" and get revenge, the "Monster" leaves him food to keep him alive.

Victor's creation is definetly not a demon, at first, he changes into a demon after his encounter with society
