What are the demons at the end of Madoka Magica?


During the conversation between Kyubey and Homura near the end of the final
episode of the series, Homura mentions that although Madoka's wish prevented
witches from being born, the curses from the human world still remained and
continue to haunt humanity in the form of "magical beasts" (魔獣), which are
demonic forces of unknown nature.

The new role of magical girls now is to defeat these demons, gather their
curses in the forms of small cube fragments, and have Kyubey harvest them, in
order to slow the effects of entropy on the universe.
