<p>According to FT's manga, Natsu Dragneel is a demon made by Zeref Dragneel. He's the END (Etherius Natsu Dragneel) that Zeref refers to way back when Natsu first meets Zeref face to face. Read chapters 436, 464 and 465. In chapter 436, when Zeref thinks about his past, how he created all other demons to kill him but all of them failed, he then says, "And so, finally I made you. I made you.... With the hope that you'd truly be as your name states, END."</p>

<p>And if you read further down that chapter, he also says that the body Natsu was given is not his own body, but the body of Zeref's deceased brother. In chapters 464 and 465, when Natsu faces Zeref once again face to face, Zeref tells Natsu the truth behind the END, and also Zeref left Natsu with Igneel (a friend of Zeref) as Igneel didn't have ill feelings toward humans.</p>
